Rory Maton
Recovery Coaching for
High-Functioning and Resistant Cases
Rory Mayton is a recovery coach and Certified Peer Support Specialist with more than 30 years of sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous and significant long-term recovery experience in Gamblers Anonymous.
A former Wall Street trader who lived at the highest levels of intensity, success, and risk-taking, 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 what he describes as a “cash and prizes” version of recovery — externally successful, highly functional, but not yet fully rooted in deeper spiritual transformation. Following a second major spiritual bottom several years ago (which did not result in relapse), 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, but still struggle to maintain sobriety.
Clients who require both accountability and genuine understanding.
Clients who are resistant, skeptical, intellectualized, or difficult to engage.
Individuals who need grounded, non-performative recovery support.
People who have achieved external success but remain internally unsteady.
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.
