The Lifeline of Recovery: How Coaches Guide the Journey to Sobriety
Recovery coaching is about engaging in the process of self-examination, looking at one's life and beliefs, and finding what works for them to transition to a new, sober lifestyle.
Imagine having a personal guide to help you navigate the turbulent waters of addiction recovery. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, we meet Chris DeTora, a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach and trainer, who shares the invaluable role recovery coaches play in transforming lives. Chris isn't just an expert; he's someone who's walked the path himself and now uses his experiences to help others find their way. Recovery coaching offers non-clinical support to individuals and families grappling with addiction.
Chris explains how coaches assist in crafting personalized recovery plans, setting achievable goals, and providing much-needed support during the early stages of sobriety. It's not just about quitting; it's about building a new life. One of the standout points Chris makes is the importance of finding what works for each person. Whether it's through SMART Recovery, therapy, or even martial arts—a method Chris has uniquely integrated into his coaching—there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
The episode also delves into how recovery coaches help families who often feel lost and unsure of how to support their loved ones. Chris emphasizes that recovery is a family affair, and having a coach can make all the difference in understanding and navigating this complex journey. Listeners will find inspiration in Chris's story and practical advice on how to engage in self-examination and service as part of the recovery process.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the multi-faceted approach to addiction recovery and the pivotal role that recovery coaches can play in achieving lasting sobriety.
