About Eva
Founder of Direct Route Sober
Eva Duclos is a counsellor, holistic healer, and the founder of the Direct Route Sober method. After facing her own long-term struggle with alcohol and discovering few resources that truly resonated, she decided to take her healing into her own hands. Through this journey, Eva found clarity, purpose, and the tools to live fully—and she knew she wanted to help others do the same.
Today, she guides clients through life-changing recovery rooted in authenticity, self-awareness, and inner strength. Combining one-on-one guidance with 16 Self-Learning Course Modules, Eva empowers individuals to break free from alcohol, rebuild confidence, and create a life of clarity and fulfillment—all without putting life on hold.
Her approach is not just about quitting drinking—it’s about helping people reclaim their lives, establish healthy boundaries, and truly thrive.

Your Transformation Starts Here
Sometimes it feels like certain things come easier for some people—the classic “that person has it all” syndrome. But the truth is, we rarely see the struggles behind success: the late nights, missed opportunities, and moments that didn’t go as planned.
The reality is this: freedom and control over your life take dedication. For many, that means letting go of what holds you back—like relying on alcohol to cope or make life feel manageable.
From my experience, your current reality may have quietly become a comfortable second choice—and eventually, a very uncomfortable one. What feels “normal” can spiral downward until one day you find yourself asking, “How did I get here?”
This is your pivotal moment—the beginning of transformation. It’s where you get to choose yourself instead of the cycle of suffering. Take the chance to discover who you really are and see what’s waiting on the other side of what has become a state of normalcy based around real discomfort!
The Deceptive Power of Alcohol
Alcohol has power. It can make you believe you’ve created as much of a life as you will ever know, and that making changes to feel better and regain control might be inconvenient.
It’s very deceptive. Alcohol tells you that you’re doing pretty well, that your successes are enough, or that you should be happy with where you are—especially compared to others who are worse off.
But the life you truly want is still unknown to you. A higher life, filled with purpose, blessings, and deep fulfillment, exists—but imagining it can feel scary. Familiar pain often feels safer, and alcohol thrives on keeping you in that comfort zone.
This is where courage comes in. You only need willingness—to let go of old beliefs and self-limiting thoughts that keep you attached to the past. These are the narratives that convince you that you deserve to stay stuck, have no choice, or can’t live differently.
What these thoughts don’t tell you is that they keep you repeating patterns in a cycle that only gets worse. Your relationship patterns, trauma bonds, breakdowns, bouts of depression, feelings of hopelessness, spending habits, codependency, and complacency do not define your life. You are capable of so much more.
You can break the cycle. You can step into a life of freedom, clarity, and empowerment.
The change begins with Courage!
Taking the First Step
Once you decide you want to be sober, we will get together to clarify where you are, where you’ve been, and where you want to be.
Meanwhile, we’ll introduce methods to reduce cravings and, eventually, the desire to drink. We’ll bring clarity to your goals, apply a simple yet functional routine, and help you choose strategies that fit your personality—tools that work to overcome the initial anxiety, fear, and disconnection you may feel.
As you let go of false beliefs and outdated identities, you’ll build a strong foundation of habits and routines that support lasting sobriety. You’ll begin to step into a life you may have only dreamed of—gaining confidence, self-love, and gratitude for the person you are becoming.
It’s now up to you to take the biggest and most important step: reaching out. By coming this far, you’ve already shown the courage to take a chance on yourself. Together, we can guide you beyond addiction—toward a life that makes you feel alive, empowered, and aligned with your authentic self.
What remains after healing is the real you: the strongest, most vibrant, and most powerful version of yourself—someone who no longer needs addiction to feel at ease or enjoy life.
The change begins with you, and your choice to stop!
Rid yourself of the need and even the desire to want to drink.
Once you decide to sign up, you and I will get together as a team, and work to break down the components that are not functioning, as you begin to rid yourself of the need and even the desire to want to drink. We will then bring clarity to what your goals are, create a functional and simple routine, choose the strategies that work best to help and assist you in overcoming the initial anxieties you may feel, and create a new routine and set of habits, that will be the core foundation for your healing and success that will eventually become a part of an even bigger personal success story, that you will set up for yourself. As you let go of false beliefs and identities about yourself, you will advance toward a life you could only have ever dreamed of prior to this, and will suddenly and without warning feel the strongest sense of love and gratitude for who you are becoming. It’s up to you now, to take the biggest and most important step, and reach out. Already just by coming this far, I know you have the courage to take take a chance on yourself and allow me to help guide you, towards an amazing life, that is far beyond your current existence, no matter where you are! The goal here is not only for you to quit drinking. It is to go beyond just recovery from addiction and learn to hone in on your higher purpose. The one that makes you feel alive and ready to take on life at a whole new level of meaning. To know your true authentic power, and to learn to live from that place. What is left, is only the real you, the best parts of you – the true and powerful you!
