Are You, Ready For Recovery?
On-Line & Telephone Alcohol Recovery Coach
About Me
Hi, my name is Joe. and I have worked within addiction/recovery services since the year 2000. Over this time, I have worked with individuals who have alcohol, other substances, or gambling issues.
I decided to become a volunteer with the addiction services of my local council, after they had supported me at the start of my own recovery journey. When I had completed my volunteer training with them, I spent 4 years working as a volunteer counsellor. The valuable experience I gained as a volunteer counsellor enabled me to progress to a position as a full-time addiction worker, with my local addiction service.
More recently I have been working within the Recovery Network promoting the recovery journey and organising further support services to assist with moving onward through the recovery process.
Over these 22 years of supporting people on their recovery journey, I have gained valuable experience of the many different issues faced by each individual and from this I have become aware that each person has unique issues with addiction, and thus that there is, in fact, no single intervention that works for everyone. The reality is, that the development of any addiction issue(s) is usually only a symptom of much more serious underlying issues in the individual’s life. It is these issues, which have led to them self-medicating on alcohol or other substances.
What to expect...
This is a two-step process:
1: Assessment:
This simply involves a relaxed, informal chat to determine your exact issue(s).
As we chat, I will try to gather as much information about you and your specific problem(s). We will carefully workout the life events and pathways which, have resulted in your addiction issue.
At the end of the chat, I will use the information you have given me to develop a tailored plan, to support you with your recovery.
2: Support
Together, we will then work through your personal support plan.
During our sessions, we will explore the issues to recovery which you find challenging and together, find the way(s) to help you overcome these, so that you are enabled, to move forward on the recovery pathway, with a positive outlook for the future.
