Bart Manning

Bart Manning is a writer, speaker, and advocate for addiction recovery. After battling substance abuse for years, he reached a turning point that led him to embrace sobriety and transform his life. Through his own struggles, he realized the power of practical, real-world strategies in overcoming addiction—ones that go beyond theory and help people make lasting changes.

Determined to give others the guide he wished he had during his recovery, Bart wrote Being Sober For Life, a no-nonsense, actionable resource for those seeking freedom from addiction. His mission is to empower people to break the cycle, rebuild their lives, and discover that sobriety isn’t about losing something—it’s about gaining everything.

When he’s not writing, Bart spends his time helping others navigate their recovery journey, speaking on addiction and mental health, and living a life that once seemed impossible—one of clarity, purpose, and true fulfillment.
