Hi,
How are you this week?
Have you ever saw someone taking a different approach – something you yourself would never do- and scratched your head thinking, what on earth, how does that work, WHY?
Like someone who is into extreme sports, or a particular diet, or religion.
They might be someone you really love or admire or respect, yet you can’t imagine spending your time or focus doing that they chose to do.
While I was studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, we learned about the concept of bio-individuality, which is the now scientifically proven theory that no one diet or nutritional approach works for everyone.
So how did it come to be that there is only one prescribed approach to problems with alcohol?
Before 1935, there was very little in the way of support or study of both the brain and effective addictions treatment. When Alcoholics Anonymous was established that year, it filled a void. The seemingly simply approach it offered – lifelong abstinence from alcohol – combined with a prescribed step-by-step program, quickly became the go-to approach. However, due to the tenets of anonymity and lack of records kept by the amorphous groups, its efficacy has never been properly studied.
Yet AA and the offshoot 12 step programs who claim that one drink might as well equal 100 and peg relapse as a personal failure are the norm. The proliferation of these community-based groups has absolved governments of having to fund and provide evidence-based treatment options.
There is no denying this approach has worked for some who have dedicated their lives to it (including close friends and family members of mine). I am not challenging that it can work for those who work it (one of the AA slogans).
However, according to a study by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, nine out of 10 heavy drinkers are NOT dependent on alcohol and, with the help of a medical professional’s brief intervention, can change unhealthy drinking habits.
Don’t you think it’s high time for other approaches that honour our bio-individuality, our unique histories, and desires for the future, our different personalities, our intuition?
Which is why I am introducing an alternative….
Drumroll please…
Let me present you with: Redefining Sobriety!
Redefining Sobriety is for you if:
-
You resist having someone tell you it has to be done a certain way
-
You’ve heard about or tried programs that require life-long abstinence and know intuitively that it’s not for you
-
You want to self-define what feels like a “problem,” or not
-
You’d rather not be labelled (you feel they are restrictive and disempowering)
-
You’re interested in holistic approaches that include mind, body and spirit
-
You know that you are NOT powerless
-
You are so ready to start showing up fully, for yourself and life (instead of staying stuck in the same cycle of self-disappointment)
-
You long for a space where you can share your full self, your ups and downs, without ever being judged
-
You want to create your own path to healing, and all you need is some accountability, support, and new tools and strategies
-
You are ready to look in the mirror and feel fully proud of the person looking back at you
During this 9 week beta program, I will share the three pillars of Redefining Sobriety:
-
Your Unique Plan (future writing, getting clear on your vision, your full life circle, the new “AA” aka your personalized alcohol agreement, strategies tailored uniquely to you)
-
Your Empowered Ownership (mindset, heartset, confidence, clarity and accountability)
-
Your Exquisite Life (making a life so incredible that a drink feels like an afterthought, not the main event)
This is not a band-aid or a quick fix.
It is not a prescription, or a one-size fits all model.
You CREATE your vision, you OWN your story, you DECIDE your path.
