Discussion, Support Groups and Events:

Recovery Coaching - Recovery Coaching is a relatively new approach in assisting an individual in his or her pursuit of a clean and sober lifestyle.  A unique aspect of Recovery Coaching is to turn problems into opportunities by reframing life's situations and addressing the many persistent inner critics a person may have.  While the appproach taken in Recovery Coaching may be somewhat different from some more long-standing models, it works in concert with all of them.  A Recovery Coach looks at the whole person, while focusing on wellness.  The Recovery Coach helps people design their future, rather than dwelling on thier past.  They reinforce the ability to seek solutions and think of possibilities, emphasize the importance of being optimistic, and elaborate on the brilliance and potential for greeatness in people
