85 Real-World Prayers for Addiction Recovery, Emotional Safety, and Long-Term Sobriety__Sober Prayers is a comprehensive sobriety prayer book__ created to support addiction recovery, relapse prevention, and long-term sobriety through real-world, stage-based prayers.

Written by Pop Buchanan, founder of the Sober Prayers and Sobriety Prayers Framework and creator of Sober Is Dope, this book expands recovery prayer beyond generic language and into the lived moments people face in addiction and early sobriety. In this framework, sobriety prayers (also called sober prayers) are defined as structured spiritual practices developed to restore nervous system safety, moral repair, emotional regulation, forgiveness, and sustained recovery from addiction.

This matters because most people do not relapse from a lack of information. They relapse from fear, stress, shame, loneliness, emotional overload, and nervous system instability. When you are in that place, you do not always have the right words. You do not always know what to say to God or a Higher Power. This book gives you words you can actually use.

God, or Higher Power, I am not asking to be perfect. I am asking to be safe. Please slow my thoughts down and steady my body. Help me tell the truth today, even if it is messy. Help me reach out instead of isolating. Help me stay sober through this moment, and then the next moment. Give me strength without pressure and hope that feels real. Amen.
