Recovery coaching, just like any other kind of coaching, involves engaging a professional to help you achieve a goal. In many aspects of our lives, we're accustomed to hiring other types of coaches. In recovery coaching you work with your coach to build a structured program. Together, you’ll set goals to achieve and your coach will hold you accountable.
When are you ready to enter recovery? The biggest myth in recovery is that you have to hit rock bottom. You can stop drinking or using substances at any time. There is no need to wait any longer, or for things to go wrong. You can choose to stop while you’re ahead.
Successful recovery takes time and requires a program. Everyone has the power in themselves to accomplish amazing goals. We have gone to school, started careers, and started families. Everyone has the ability to set a goal and achieve it. The same is true with drinking or substance use. We can set a goal of recovery and work a specific program to achieve that goal.
Setting goals is an important part of recovery, it will take time and your practice needs to be structured. When we hire a personal trainer we know that getting physical results for our bodies will take time. Recovery is very similar in that it will take time and dedication to make lasting changes. Making those changes is a goal you can achieve.
