I did not wake up one day and say to myself I am going to become an alcoholic.
It came on its own.
That doesn’t mean I’m not responsible.
I am.
It was my choice. I still have choice.
I am a firm believer that I can have a drink anytime I choose.
I just choose not to.
It’s all about choice and that applies basically everything in life.
Recovery from addiction is not about addiction it is about balance and good choices. I do not look at it this like a recovery program. It’s about choosing a healthy lifestyle.
Life is meant to be lived. Sobriety is part of that life. If you choose.
Balance in life helps you enjoy yourself and others. It allows you to create and share more effectively. It helps you just plain see and breath better. It’s that simple.
That’s what we do here. Help you find that balance. For everybody it’s different but the fundamental building blocks are the same. We find your blocks and work with them in a way that suits you.
It’s about seeing who you really are. Not who you see in the mirror or how others tell you who you should be. I want you to be able to get outside of yourself. Truly look at yourself. Learn to understand yourself so you can find your balance within yourself.
To do that we chat one on one. I need you to feel Total Comfort of Expression. Once we achieved that I introduce a series of “exercises”. With the help of other professionals who work in different disciplines related to a healthy lifestyle and balance we have developed exercises based on mindfulness, self-awareness, creativity and self-discipline. These exercises are tailored to your personal goals and needs. They are then bundled into Preparatory Personal Development Assignments. The assignments can be done at your own pace for as long as you choose.
A problem isn’t a problem until you make it a problem. Addiction of any kind or an imbalance that affects your life style is definitely an issue. Issues are meant to be dealt with through concern, compassion and action.
A problem on the other hand usually generates confusion, exertion and overcompensation without proper correction.
Basically, we keep it light, tight, personal, creative, educational, entertaining and hopefully personally successful.
Sometimes it’s easier for me to explain things with some videos ..
