True North Sober Living

Meet the Founder — Paul Steele

Paul Steele is a speaker, author, and founder of the Paul Steele Podcast, where he inspires thousands to tap into the power of the mind, faith, and discipline to overcome addiction and design a life of purpose.

After his own journey through recovery, Paul experienced the life-changing impact that sober living can have—the sense of community, accountability, and hope it provides when life feels uncertain. But he also lived in sober living homes that were anything but inspiring—places that felt cold, crowded, and far from the peace a person needs to rebuild. That experience planted a vision: to create something better.True North Sober Living in Charleston, Tennessee was born from that vision. Set in a peaceful country environment near the Tennessee River, True North offers structure, faith-based support, and a brotherhood of accountability for men committed to rebuilding their lives. It’s more than a house—it’s a home where people in recovery can feel proud of where they live, find peace in their surroundings, and rediscover purpose in their path forward.
