Author Shelly Marshall has worked with people in recovery from alcoholism and other drug addictions for the past 30 years. Her books Day By Day (2 and a half million sold) and Young, Sober, & Free (approximately 250,000 sold) are viewed as classics in the recovery field. Ms. Marshall views the problem of addiction from every conceivable angle. She holds a degree in Drugs and Alcohol from Metropolitan State College in Colorado and has touched millions with her writing.

Shelly Marshall co-founded several recovery centers; developing one of the first young people’s treatment programs in the early 70s; served in law enforcement as a deputy sheriff in Idaho; worked in Russia for the NAN (No to Alcoholism and Drug Addiction) and served as an NGO representative to the United Nations.

Shelly Marshall’s “Young, Sober, & Free” helps adolescents help themselves – rather than blame parents for their addiction or recovery problems. The Pocket Sponsor is designed for around-the-clock support for all ages in recovery and empathizes personal responsibility for recovery, something many “experts” forget when they act as the surrogate parent in a professional treatment setting.
