Who Am I

My name is John F. Dill. I work as an addiction therapist, have a master’s degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in Learning The Hard Way. I take all the life changing hacks from psychology, sociology, philosophy, self improvement and habit science to craft an optimized and personalized program of recovery that works for YOU. I will never make the same program twice. This program won’t change your life, it will just change YOU. I have helped 84 men achieve 90 days of continuous sobriety through my professional practice but have made the choice to create this online resource to be able to reach as many men as I can.

The lighthouse isn't just a symbol—it's exactly what you need in early sobriety. When you're navigating the dangerous waters between who you were and who you're becoming, you need more than motivation or willpower; you need a steady, reliable beacon that cuts through the fog and shows you the safe path forward. Unlike a rescue boat that does the work for you, a lighthouse empowers you to captain your own ship. That's my role: I provide the consistent guidance, proven systems, and clear direction you need to safely reach the harbor you're aiming for. The light never wavers, the direction never changes, and the destination is always clear—just like the personalized recovery system we'll build together.
