PRINCIPLED: The Art of Martial Sobriety

PRINCIPLED: The Art of Martial Sobriety is for anyone who has discovered that good intentions are not always enough when cravings hit, emotions take over, or life starts pulling them back toward old patterns. 

Drawing from martial arts principles and Chris Davis's lived experience in recovery, PRINCIPLED introduces the RISE system: a practical method for calming the storm, returning to center, building structure, and moving forward with intention.  

Through unfiltered stories, hard-earned lessons, and exercises you can use in ordinary life, the book helps you practice what to do when motivation disappears and the next right choice feels difficult. It does not promise perfection or an easy path. It gives you something more useful: a way to keep training, even after you fall.  

You are not your worst day. You are what you repeatedly practice.
