Recovery Enthusiast

 Hello, all my recovery enthusiasts! I have created this specific page to talk about topics related to addiction/alcoholism. I am so excited to now have a Facebook page dedicated to that as well and maybe some of you came to this page from there. So First of all welcome. I am a recovery coach as well as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor but more important I am a woman in recovery. I have developed a program through trials and tribulations and would love to share it with you all.

 Several years back I was stuck. I had become overwhelmed with my new life in recovery. I had had some time before in recovery and I was determined to make it work this time. But I was stuck, stressed, and frankly disappointed in my new life. The 12 step program was a huge help to me but I needed more. I started looking into other programs such as Refuge Recovery, SMART recovery, rational recovery. I also started reading up on DBT, CBT, NLP and I didn't find the answers in any one of them. I had found answers in ALL of them. I had utilized the years of previous recovery experience along with all the programs I was learning and combined them into what I live today, an amazing life. 

I have developed a way to dig deep and find what makes me want to do things, my WHY of life. I am able to deal with my emotions and feelings in a way I have ever done before. I am almost never stressed, I avoid overwhelm and I have so much more energy and zest for life. I have found a way to live my best life and I can show you too. 

I would like to give you a free online session called  Emotions  ðŸ‘ˆ click here for access. It would be my pleasure to serve you.

You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram. Or check out my other courses on Recovery Enthusiast.

Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. Drop me a comment. I would love your feedback 😊

Thank you for being you. Stay blessed <3

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed with everything you need to do that you don't do anything at all?

Psychologists have a name for that. It is actually part of our stress response system. You might have heard of the fight or flight response. Psychologists have recently recognized a third characteristic of this response which is freeze . The freeze response is a way of protecting us from danger by a sort of  camouflage with not moving; you become "invisible." The thing is, our stress response automatically triggers regardless if it's an actual life and death situation or psychological stress. When you are overwhelmed and feeling stressed out, it's vital to reduce the intense feelings. I have another post that goes into more detail about TIPP skills they use in DBT , and you can click on the link here for that post. Once you reduce the intense emotions, then you can think cognitively. What I'm going to talk about in this post is more of a preventative measure, and by doing the skills, you will hopefully prevent feeling overwhelmed. Like anything else, they

Stress can cause you to relapse

  We all experience stress, but it can be detrimental to our recovery to reduce the overwhelming stress. Here are several ways you can reduce stress in your life. 1.       Practice meditation . All you need is 5 minutes a day to start with your meditation practice. It's all about consistency. It's kind of like going to the gym. It is more beneficial to go to the gym several times a week and work out for half an hour than going once a week and working out for two hours. Meditation practice consists of anything from self-guided meditation to listening to music or listening to Mother Nature. It helps to focus on your breathing and allow yourself just to be. It is perfectly normal for your mind to wander. When it does, just gently and nonjudgmentally bring it back to your breath. That is the exercise. Meditation is the practice of your mind wandering, and you bringing it back to the present moment. When your mind is at ease, it is less likely to be stressed. If you practice medit

Where are you going?!

What is it about hitting a milestone in your life that makes you freak out?        I remember turning thirty and thinking I'm a stay at home mom, I need to have this perfect home, be the perfect wife and all will be well. Ok miss Cleaver how did that work out for ya? By the time I hit forty I was full blown alcoholic in rehab and not home and kids not speaking to me. I've done a lot of stupid stuff that led me to that point. Stuff I can't change.       And so now here I sit 48 going on 49 and feeling like Whoa, where has my life gone?! Now I did clean up my act. I now work as a case manager for an addiction treatment facility and my kids do speak to me. I actually have a grandson that has stolen my heart. I am blessed. I live with my sister and her husband, which isn't the worst thing in the world but I want more. I'm also in school trying to better my life. But like I said I want more. Every time I think about wanting more my heart races and my throat goes dry. I
