Alcoholics and addicts suffer from a real illness. Maybe those words don’t resonate for you but you worry you might have a problem.
You have choices.
Whether or not you believe it, putting the focus on yourself is an option. You are the only one responsible for taking good care of yourself.If you are ready to seek support in an honest and compassionate space for yourself, reach out to me today and we can begin the road to transformation.
You deserve to live a more hopeful and fulfilling life one day at a time.
“God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Outside support meetings are often just the first step to sobriety and that can look many different ways. I have over a decade of experience guiding and walking alongside men and women in recovery, as they find a more fulfilling life. It is not easy balancing sobriety and daily stressors. Let me share my expertise in walking alongside adults in recovery, guiding them in relapse prevention, as well as helping them navigate hidden traumas.
Your challenges might have begun with trying to change someone else, or rescue another person. As time has gone on, your mentality changed to:
“If I cannot get them to change, I might as well join in?” The reality is now you might have a drinking or drug problem. Let me tell you that you cannot make anyone else change or stop their destructive behaviors, but you can get help for yourself.
I integrate my own 12 Step Recovery, meditation, mindfulness practices, as well as trauma-informed therapies in how I counsel clients who are suffering from the effects of this illness on their lives.
Maybe you are not the one finding your way through addiction recovery, but your loved one is.
It might feel like you need to help them get into treatment or recovery, but all the techniques and ways you have tried just do not seem to be working. As a woman who grew up with alcoholism and addiction on both sides of my family, I have been on my own path to recovery for many years.
