I’m Robert the recovery guy
Personal Life & Career Coach
Recovery one day at a time with Robert
Personal Life Coaching
PLC is all about discovering the top 3-5 areas that directly or indirectly affect you and then walking you to a healthy balance. Consider it like a gym membership for mental, emotional and spiritual hurdles.
Recovery Coaching
RC is when you and I work on ways to identify substance abuse and action based negative behavior. Once identified we explore methods to remove them from your life. Once
removed, we can begin clearing the damage
Helping You Achieve Success
Unlock Your Full Potential. Say Hello to THE NEW YOU
When it comes to life/sober coaching the biggest challenge is encouraging the student or listener that the coach can’t do it for you. When it comes to behavior, because of a substance or another distraction, the person being coached must have a firm resolution to not want to go in that destructive direction anymore..
Stop living in the problem and prolonging pain
Become your own greatest asset in life
Make a daily commitment to a life long journey
Gain the momentum necessary to overcome anything
Goal Setting
Once we have dealt with the obvious
stumbling blocks we are now ready to begin accomplishing things we have put off. We first identify what we want to achieve. We then create a plan to get there
Relationship Coaching
As a person of recovery, I have learned how establish healthy new relationships. More importantly, I have learned how to repair the destroyed bridges of past relationships to that of healthy ones.
Stress Management
We don’t manage stress. Stress manages us. This is more about removing past stress and making sure the old doesn’t make its way back
to the present. It also involves strategies and techniques on how to eliminate new stressors and developing a proactive mindset to respond to them as they appear.
Becoming & Staying Well
I have studied, learned and adapted various approaches to living that incorporate methods that can guarantee wellness. Becoming Well has very little to do with what is “outside”. Becoming and staying well is an “inside job”.
What Is Life Coaching?
Who is Coaching For?
It is my opinion that the one looking to be coached must be so convinced that their current situation is so injurious that if they don’t change their life would be irreparably harmed or they will die. Now that might seem drastic to some, but is it really? If you’re in a position where you would consider a coach, you would likely conclude that doing it by yourself with the methods that you’ve been trying are not effective and would be counterproductive to continue in that direction.
Life is meant to be enjoyed and cherished
There is nothing more discouraging than waking up each day dreading what the day holds. If that is you, when will you stop allowing the day to dictate that to you. Own the day from the outset and be the master of your own outcome.
We have been created to be a light to others
Stop allowing the external pressures to hold back your internal desire to grow and develop.
Create a legacy of happiness by living that legacy now.
Increase your value to others as you increase your value to you.
About Me
Recovery Guy was born out my own personal recovery. I had become a chronic alcoholic. I began choosing alcohol and drugs on a daily basis when I turned 18. I was so deeply trapped I also became a compulsive gambler, overeater, bulimic, and I was also addicted to pornography. I entered treatment in February 1986. After one brief relapse, I have been clean and sober since April 25, 1986. Along the way the overeating, bulimia, gambling and pornography have left my life. I have learned so much over the years. I went back to college at 39 years old to get my degree in Alcohol/Drugs Studies. I have worked in various treatment models. Along the way I became well. I went “From Broken To Whole.” It is my belief that everyone has this potential. I went from a feeling that if something didn’t change I was going to die to a person of accomplishment. I would love the opportunity to guide you as I was guided. I took advantage of the help offered to me. I have combined that information in proven ways to assist you. Thank you for your time.

Find Your Balance. Set Your Goals. Take A Challenge. Reward Yourself.
Understand that a life coach teaches you how to live productively one day at a time. We learn to overcome obstacles and other challenges that would have previously taken you off course and caused to slip back into previous behavior. A coach helps a person of addiction understand that true sobriety is more than the absence of the substance. Being sober is the beginning of sobriety, not sobriety itself. Whether it is overcoming a behavior that is not addiction related or behavior that is associated with alcohol or drugs the goal is the same. One must learn how to live a different way and because of enjoying that lifestyle the person would no longer want to engage in that negative behavior. It really is as simple as that. A coach is nothing more and nothing less than a conduit/guide for new way of living.
