Rory Maton
Recovery Coaching for
High-Functioning and Resistant Cases
Rory Maton is a recovery coach and Certified Peer Support Specialist with more than 33 years of sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous and additional recovery experience in Gamblers Anonymous.
A former Wall Street trader who lived at the highest levels of intensity, success, and risk-taking. He ran his own trading firm, managed significant risk capital, and served major hedge funds globally.
Rory brings a rare combination of real-world sophistication and deeply grounded recovery experience. He understands the psychology of high performers, entrepreneurs, executives, and individuals who may appear outwardly successful while privately struggling to maintain stability, consistency, or surrender.
For many years, Rory maintained sobriety while continuing to live a “cash and prizes” version of recovery — externally successful, highly functional, but not yet fully rooted in deeper spiritual transformation.
Things looked good on the outside, but life was hollow on the inside. Rory hit what would be considered a second emotional bottom. Although he did not relapse, the “hole in the soul” drove him to reevaluate his entire life.
He changed everything.
He radically recommitted himself to spiritual practice, simplicity, service, prayer, meditation, and rigorous recovery work.
Today, that lived experience forms the foundation of his coaching approach.
Rory works especially well with:
High-functioning professionals and entrepreneurs
Individuals familiar with 12-step language who still struggle to maintain sobriety
Clients who require a higher level of accountability, empathy, and support
Clients who are resistant, skeptical, intellectualized, or difficult to engage
People who have achieved external success but remain unfulfilled
What makes Rory particularly effective is that he is neither intimidated nor impressed by money, status, intelligence, or image. He is capable of sophisticated conversations about recovery, psychology, ambition, and self-deception — but he is equally capable of bringing clients back to the essential basics of sobriety and spiritual practice.
His style is direct, calm, grounded, practical, and deeply informed by lived experience rather than theory alone.
