The Power Of Belief
The most important question in recovery,Reader, is do you believe that you can recover?
The success stories I know of - from clients and others - are those who truly believe and don't give up when the going gets tough.
So, as the recovering addict, do you believe you can recover, long-term?
As the betrayed partner, do you believe your recovering addicted partner can recover, long-term?
Do either of you believe that the relationship/marriage can recover?
Where do you stand in terms of your confidence in the future you wish to build?
Some important questions to reflect on.
I can tell you from experience, the clients who make it 5+ years clean are the ones who believe they can achieve it.
The marriages that last are the ones where the betrayed partner believed in their partner, even during the worst lows of recovery, where the recovering addict never gave up, and was able to realize they are worthy of love.
Whether you're in this recovery as a couple or whether you've parted ways, do you believe in yourself to build a new healthy life for yourself?
Because I can believe in you (and your partner) all day long, your therapist can believe, your personal trainer, your support group... you name it.
We ALL can believe in you, but what truly matters is whether you believe in yourself and are willing to put in the effort.
No one ever recovered without failure.
Let me repeat that.
Success doesn't come without many failed attempts.
Success comes to those who persevere and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Tell me, Reader, what do you need most right now for where you're at in your recovery journey?
Email me back, I'd love to know!
Plus if I have any resources for that current need, I'll send them your way.
Warm regards,

Hey Reader, We all have those weeks where everything feels overwhelming. Just getting out of bed can feel like a win, you know? Well, I had one of those weeks this past week. A new routine and schedule, daylight savings adjustments, a completely shocking thing with our son at school that we had to handle, and just sheer exhaustion. I have a tendency to try to handle life on my own. I can ask for help, but it's not my first go to. I know Jak works a physically demanding job working on cars all...
There's a reason that most of America struggles with debt. America has a many issues that lead to this, however, our culture tends to be one that has the following messages: Luxury lifestyles = You made it Renting = Something's wrong with you Lots of women and no marriage = You're the man Fancy things = wealthy However, those narratives (with the lack of education around finances) leads many Americans astray. How does this relate to recovery? Here's how.... Can you: Distinguish between a NEED...
If you've been in recovery for a bit, you've most likely come across the 90-day challenge or have seen other coaches or therapists mention 90 days. What is so special about 90 days and is that all it takes? There is truth that it takes about 90 days to change a habit - i.e. beginning a workout routine, waking up at a certain time in the morning, eating healthier, and yes, quitting porn and masturbation. However, 90 days is just the beginning. Being able to be clean for 90 days sets you up to...
