In 2008 it was proven that addiction is not a disease.
It is a learning phenomenon.
It is a learning phenomenon.
That means, whatever addictive behaviors you or a loved one are struggling with are just the ways you've learned to get your needs met.
Real recovery, the ability to live a significantly better life than the one you are living now lies not in understanding what is wrong about an addiction but what is right.
It's about taking your power back through recognizing the needs you are trying to meet with your addictive behaviors and learning healthier ways that don't destroy you.

I've been living a drug and alcohol-free life since 2007. I have also addressed many of my other addictive tendencies and this approach has proved by far the most successful. As a qualified counsellor and life and executive coach with eight years experience in the field, I have the skills and compassion to help you integrate it into your life and move beyond addiction long-term.
