Toronto’s Leading Sobriety Coach. Build a Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

What I Do

As a sobriety coach, I focus on identity — because when you become the person who doesn’t need to escape, sobriety becomes the natural outcome.

I Coach

I work one-on-one and in small groups with people ready to quit drugs or alcohol – not just to stop using, but to become the version of themselves who never wants to use again.
Through my Bootcamps and private sobriety coaching programs, I help you build routines, set goals, and create a life so exciting that relapse stops making sense.

I Speak

I speak at events and on podcasts, sharing my story – from addiction to purpose – to inspire people to believe change is possible.
I talk about building a life you don’t need to escape from, the power of identity change, and how purpose outlasts willpower.
If your audience needs hope mixed with humor and raw truth, I bring it.

I Build Community

Inside The Forge, my goal-driven coaching community, we set goals, stay accountable, and find the support to thrive in recovery.
We focus on becoming the version of ourselves who’s too excited about life to go back – through fitness, purpose, and connection.
It’s a launchpad.

Testimonials

Working with Kelly completely changed my life. I’m now over a year sober, landed my dream job in PEI, and even bought my first house. Sobriety doesn’t just feel possible anymore — it feels exciting.

Derek WP.E.I. Canada

“Working with Kelly gave me the confidence and accountability I needed to start rebuilding my life. I just bought my first car in over 20 years — in my own name! His support was a huge part of this win.”

Thomas GDenver, CO

“Working with Kelly and The Forge community has been life-changing. I finally got UNSTUCK and started designing a future I actually want. With Kelly’s guidance and the support of The Forge team, I’ve learned how to set and achieve realistic goals. For the first time in a long time, I have a plan and a vision. Let’s go, Forge!”

Pete ABronx, NY

“Today marks one full year of total sobriety. I quit smoking cigarettes, chewing tobacco, drugging, and drinking — all cold turkey — one year ago today. It hasn’t been easy, but every bump in the road has been worth it. I’m back working the oil rigs, making that big oil money, paying off old debts, and doing it clean. Thank you to everyone for your support, and a special thank you to Kelly France for being part of my journey and creating this awesome platform where we can support one another with real fellowship.”

Kelly’s Story

For over 20 years, my life was controlled by crack and alcohol addiction. I hit every bottom you can imagine—rehab, detox, arrests, homelessness. Sobriety felt impossible.

Then one day, I realized:
If I didn’t take control of my life, I’d die way too early—and I would be remembered as that great guy who had so much potential, but he chose drugs and alcohol instead

So in 2011, after 5 long years of trying, I quit everything.

I rebuilt my body, my discipline, and my future—eventually qualifying for the Boston Marathon at 51 years old.

I became a sobriety coach because I discovered something most recovery programs never teach:
Staying sober isn’t about willpower—it’s about building a future so exciting you refuse to give it up for anything.
