Ready to Quit Drinking or Using Drugs?
Let Me Show You How ...

Being addicted to drugs or alcohol is no picnic. I’ve been there. I’ve lived through the whole addiction nightmare already and know how it destroys not only you, but potentially your family as well.

More than 7 years ago now I was pretty much at rock bottom. Emotionally, spiritually, physically (and yes, financially) bankrupt. I had lost the will to live. I had nothing and felt like nothing. Life seemed pretty pointless ...

I was a wreck, but had the good fortune to speak to a drug addiction counselor who pointed me in the right direction. I realised I couldn’t beat my addictions on my own – and so got help. That was the turning point for me ...

If you’ve landed up here – there’s probably something inside you telling you that you should get help too. Could this also be the turning point for you?

Now I’m not going to lie to you and say that my life has been nothing but a bed of roses in these last 7 years. I’ve had plenty downs together with my ups. But you know what? Going back to drugs or alcohol has just never been an option for me. No matter how lousy I feel.

And I’ve probably learned more in the last 7 years or so about myself and life - than I did in the rest of my years put together. Now that probably sounds more dramatic than it should because I’m not that old, but I think you get my point.

So as corny as it sounds, I kind of view what I went through as a blessing. I honestly don’t believe I would have gained the insights, awareness or understanding I did – unless I had gone through the darkness of addiction - and come out the other side.

Out of the Darkness and Into the Light

Having gone through that – my mission has become to pass on what I’ve learned – and hopefully help you break your own cycle of addiction.

That involves helping you understand what you’re dealing with through the information I provide on this website. But reading the words on a webpage can of course only get you so far.

Because reading the words on a website or in a book – is nowhere near the same as having a real, live person who knows and understands what you’re going through – and who can therefore help you in a way that is unique and personal to your situation.

So as your Recovery Coach, I can using my experience and knowledge, and take you step by step through the process of going from living a life of addiction - to living the life YOU WANT, free of alcohol and drugs - much faster than were you try doing it alone.

Why Coaching?

Does Tiger Woods know how to play golf? Seems like a stupid question right, considering he’s just about the greatest golfer to ever play the game.

So why does he use a coach? Because he knows the value in having someone who can look at his swing with fresh eyes and make suggestions - has to his game.

These days Coaching has moved on from being mainly associated with the sports world. It is now also used extensively by executives and businesses to help them perform at optimum levels. Like Tiger Woods, they know the value in having an ‘outsider’ look at how they can get better and radically improve performance and results.

In fact, coaching has been so successful, these are some of the kinds of quotes that have made in leading publications about its benefits:

• "People who want to stand out at work or face a job crisis increasingly turn to coaches." Wall Street Journal
• "Executives and managers know coaching is the most potent tool for inducing positive personal change, ensuring better- than-average odds of success and making the change stick for the long term." The Ivy Business Journal
• "Coaching is having a dedicated mentor, it's getting knowledgeable support and encouragement and a new way of looking at things when you need it." Industry Week
• "A coach may be the guardian angel you need to rev up your career?. Newsweek

Now if executives and businesses are achieving those kinds of staggering benefits, don’t you think ‘normal’ people like you and me could benefit from coaching too?

Of course!

And that’s why personal coaching or life coaching is one of the fastest growing industries in the world - because people just like you are cottoning onto the fact that working with a coach can help you overcome and deal with the challenges life throws at you. In your case, alcoholism or drug addiction being probably the biggest ones right now.

But coaching is more than just helping you deal with your problems and challenges – the point of coaching is to help you to go on and re-discover what is really important to you – and then help you to go out and make that happen - achieving more peace, meaning, happiness and success than ever before.

But more on the specific benefits of what coaching can do for you a little later ...

The Difference between Alcoholism and Drug Addiction
Counseling/Therapy - and Personal Addiction Recovery Coaching

Typical Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Counseling or Therapy, primarily involves delving into your past to uncover the root of your problems. Don’t get me wrong – this can be hugely beneficial, especially if you have time and usually lots of money on your side.

Because it can take years of counselling or therapy to figure out the underlying causes of your problems and feel like you’re actually making progress. I know because I’ve been through the whole shebang – Counsellors, Therapists and Psychologists.

While talking about my problems and past was certainly therapeutic – I never really felt that it translated into meaningful results in my life. I can’t say Drug Adddiction Counseling or Therapy left me feeling more happy, at peace or successful.

Recovery Coaching on the other hand is less interested in your past and problems – and I don’t mean that in a disparaging way - because that’s part of who you are. But rather the focus with coaching is to help you change your focus to the present and future - and in doing so help you discover the solutions that support you in creating the future you want.

And the 1st step in that is of course ensuring you getting and/or staying off the drugs and alcohol. But that’s only one step in the process. Coaching is also about helping you unlock your dormant potential that has been hidden away and forgotten about because of the drugs and alcohol.

What Can Personal Recovery Coaching Do For You?

Recovery Coaching aims to help not only provide you with workable and useable strategies, ideas and information that will help you recover from your addiction – but also help you discover a new meaning and purpose to your life so that you feel happier, healthier and more successful.

Some of the more specific benefits to Personal Recovery Coaching are then as follows:

• Help you discover how to change your perception of yourself and thereby stop creating the excuses to drink or use drugs
• You’ll discover how to let go of feelings and emotions that are causing you to drink and use drugs
• I’ll let you in on the 4 secret truths to maintaining your sobriety forever
• Find out exactly what you need to do when you feel overwhelmed to want use or drink - so that you don't relapse no matter what
• Let go of destructive emotions like fear, anger and guilt – and find increasing peace, happiness and acceptance
• Discover your life purpose so that your life is re-invigorated with meaning and spark – so that the last thing you’ll want to do is drink or use drugs again
• Sure-fire strategies to ensure you don’t drink or use again no matter how tempted you are
• Learn how to practise an ancient and timeless technique that has the effect of reversing the imbalances in your brain that actually cause addiction – meaning that in time you will lose ALL desire to ever want to drink or take drugs again
• I will personally teach you my “Secret 5 Step programme” that has kept me off drugs and alcohol for the last 7. 5 years – and that can do the same for you
• Help you tap into the most powerful human emotion that exists and that will give you the necessary desire and motivation to race ahead with your recovery no matter how lousy you feel

These are just some of the things you can potentially gain from receiving personal addiction recovery coaching.

But coaching is not just about me teaching you techniques and strategies to improve your life – it’s about helping you tap into your own wisdom and potential again – so that my job as coach becomes redundant.

The sooner you outgrow the need for my help – the happier I’ll be – because that will mean you’ve got a handle on your addiction, your life is on track and you’re confidently steering the ship of your life in whichever direction you choose ...

There Could Be No Tomorrow

The worst possible thing to do if you’ve got a problem with drugs or alcohol – is to do nothing at all ...

When it comes to Addiction you may not get a 2nd chance. The prospect of overdose and death are real, especially with drugs. Driving in an alcohol or drug induced state may mean you end up in a fatal accident.

Sure these are extreme cases, but possible nonetheless. Feeding an addiction is like playing with a loaded gun – at some point it’s going to go off – you just don’t know when.

So let me use my experience to try and help you. I’ve been surrounded by addiction for the most part of my life either through my personal experience of it or watching people I love go through it.

And I’ve spent close on the last 10 years, trying to understand it, manage it and overcome it and find a way to lead a happy, successful life without the need for a drink or to use drugs.

The Good News and The Bad News

The bad news is that my service isn’t free, this is what I do and I expect to get paid for it – like I’m sure you do for your job. The good news is that having your own Recovery Coach is a lot more affordable than you think ...

The Business and Executive Coaches I was talking about earlier easily charge $500 per hour. (And I’m not even talking about those at the top-end who charge thousands of dollars per hour). And most Psychologists and life coaches I know are pretty much in the same range. An in-house treatment program can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars.

So I’ve decided to take a slightly different approach to decide on how much I offer my services for. I don’t want to make my coaching available to only the chosen few with money. But at the same time – you have to want to help yourself – and in my experience unless that involves a fair, but not unreasonable financial commitment in yourself, it becomes too easy for you to back out on yourself.

My addiction recovery coaching then won’t cost you thousands of dollars per hour, not even $500 per hour like many of my peers charge. In fact it won’t even cost you $500 per month.

To make my coaching as accessible to as many people as possible, while still ensuring you take it seriously by ultimately investing in your own future well-being, I’m prepared to offer it to you for $247 p.m.

Everyone I know thinks I’m crazy offering you my services at that price – but I don’t care what they think, this is about me trying to ensure I can help you, even if you don’t have a bank balance breaking the bank.

That involves you getting 4 hour long telephone coaching sessions per week - plus e-mail support in-between, so it works out at a little more than $60 per hour, which if you consider for that level of service many people easily charge upwards of $500 per hour – is pretty cheap I think.

Now I can’t guarantee the cost of my coaching will stay at $247 p.m., because I have a pretty full schedule of clients, and as future openings become available – I may decide to up the price. So if you’re serious about taking action to turn your life around, and want my help in doing so, the sooner the better because if you wait, it may well end up costing you a lot more.

Your Own Coach is Only an E-mail Away ...

Simply drop me a line via the coaching submission form below giving me a brief overview of your current situation and why you would like coaching. Of course, also feel free to ask any questions you might have. Once we’re both satisfied coaching is right for you and that we can work together – we can schedule your first appointment.

Payment is done monthly in advance of the coaching sessions, using Paypal. And then we just keep rolling it for as long as you want to continue with the coaching. No messy or lengthy contracts – I want to keep it as simple and flexible as I can for you.

I use Paypal because it’s easy, safe and secure. If you haven’t got a Paypal Account – it’s easy to sign up for one. Just click on the link.

I use Skype for the calls – so if possible, if you aren’t already also using Skype, I suggest you look at doing the same. It’s free to download and a great way to communicate with others – irrespective of where you are in the world.

If you’ve managed to read this far – thank you. I’ve probably gone on for too long, but I simply want to give you all the info you need about what coaching involves to help you make an informed decision.

So if you want to get the ball rolling - all you need to do now is send me a note using the contact form below – and hopefully we’ll be working together soon.

All the Best
