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
For many of us being of value to others has always been a desire. I believe that the main reason for a person to be a better version of themselves is to be a greater value to others.
Stop allowing the external pressures to hold back your internal desire to grow and develop.
Stephen Covey stated “Every major scientific breakthrough was a result of a break-with. Let me help you separate, minimize and even destroy the external pressures that have been keeping you from realizing your enormous potential. I have dome this for me and I can guide you to this personal position.
Create a legacy of happiness by living that legacy now.
So often we say “I will do it tomorrow”. In reality tomorrow never comes. It seems to be so easy to procrastinate, but it isn’t. Eventually we pay for putting off to tomorrow what I should be doing today. I can help you get there.
Increase your value to others as you increase your value to you.
People should not be the reason to do anything. Others should be the beneficiary of the things we do for ourselves. People, situations and opportunities come and go throughout our lives. Since this is true, we ought not allow them to be the reason we do or don’t do something. When we live the new life for us regardless of who or what moves in or out of lives we are always maintaining a rewarding life.

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.

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.
