Welcome to Recovery Meets Reality. My name is Sherry Gaba and you may not realize it, but I am about to present a life altering event. I am the go to person on one of VH1’s top show’s Celebrity Rehab with the famous celebrity Doctor Drew Pinsky. I was his go to person behind the scenes and on camera using my trademark sensitivity to help them recover from one of the deadliest diseases of our times addiction and alcoholism. I am not here to tell you not to drink and to stop having fun, but I am here to tell you to do it safely. I know personally and professionally only too well if it is not done safely there are severe consequences….promiscuity, date rape, young motherhood, single parenthood, divorce, DUI’s mental illness, DUI’s, jails, and eventually death. I have also inspired thousands with my book The Law of Sobriety: Attracting Positive Energy for a Powerful Recovery which takes the law of attraction and applies it to addiction recovery and not just for substance abuse.

Why are you zoning out? What is keeping you from being present? I am here to present what the benefits are of bringing Celebrity Addiction to the masses, how to avoid the consequences of not drinking safely, and how to stop numbing out from life so you can live the life you were meant to live. I am here to share …
