Cravings don't last forever... Regret, however, does. Everybody has a sobriety date, some are written on a tombstone. Thats REAL talk! God only sends us so many life preservers before he comes & gets us himself.

Helping an addict can look like:

-Offering rides to treatment, meetings, or appointments
-Providing emotional support without rescuing
-Saying NO to money, housing, or favors that support use
-Encouraging professional help or peer support
-Holding firm boundaries while still expressing love
Helping says: “I care about you too much to protect your addiction.”

Enabling an addict can look like:

-Giving money that can be used for substances
-Lying, covering up, or making excuses for behavior
-Paying bills repeatedly while nothing changes
-Allowing use in the home to “keep them safe”
-Rescuing them from legal, financial, or relational consequences
Enabling says: “I’ll carry the cost of your addiction so you don’t have to.”

My approach to goal-setting is to help clients identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. I also work with clients to create an action plan and provide accountability to ensure they stay on track to achieve their goals.

Confidentiality is of utmost importance in my coaching practice. I adhere to the International Coach Federation's (ICF) Code of Ethics, which includes strict guidelines for maintaining client confidentiality.
