Self Discovery After Alcohol Coaching and Mentoring

If You're Ready To:

Quit Shame

Create Joy 

Begin Discovering You

It started with the simple question, “Who am I?” But the answers were more complex. You made a big change in your life, or perhaps the change happened to you, yet nothing else has changed. Your relationships aren’t as meaningful as you’d like, your work isn’t as purposeful as you’d hoped it would be, and hobbies don’t quite seem to fulfill you. You’re still unsure who it is looking back at you in the mirror. What if you could go from disconnected to connected? What if you were able to learn, explore, and discover who you truly are as opposed to who you think you’re supposed to be?

 

   Maybe you’ve given up alcohol. Maybe you just ended a relationship. Maybe you made a career change. Maybe the question really is “Who am I now?” You go through life expecting the accomplishment of your next goal to make you feel whole, but it’s not working. What if you focused your goals on the internal achievements? For the first time not caring how others perceive you, but how you perceive yourself?

 

   Sounds great, but how does someone even go about this? Is there even a way? Life doesn’t pause for us to discover ourselves, it doesn’t wait until we’ve identified our values to present us with challenges and opportunities.. but we can embark on this journey at any moment. There is a path, a place to start, a way forward. Accept the present so you can forgive the past and create your future!

Quit drinking alcohol, without focusing on alcohol!

Underneath the alcohol is the person who you have been looking for. Let's find them together.

Hi, I'm RJ! I'm a father of 2 and a seasoned lived experience educator who knows a thing or two about life without alcohol. With over 9 years of sobriety under my belt, I can confidently say that quitting drinking took some serious stubbornness. After 10 years as a high voltage line tech foreman, a divorce, and a diagnosis of ADHD at 33, I decided to shift gears and make a change. Creating a connection that fosters community and support for those on their journey to sobriety is what I'm all about, and I'm here to work with you to create a customized plan that works for you. Because you don't have to do this alone.

“Before working with RJ, I struggled to take responsibility for my actions and communicate my thoughts, drowning in defensiveness and pessimism. Trying to navigate this alone left me feeling hopeless and resentful. RJ's coaching brought a transformative shift, providing a safe space where my feelings were truly understood and validated. Now, I walk taller, speak with confidence, and approach life with sharp problem-solving skills. This journey feels like a new, fulfilling chapter—embracing vulnerability, overcoming insecurities, and celebrating victories with RJ has been nothing short of life-changing.” -Brian W

Testimonials

“RJ’s ability to hold space for others, no matter the emotional state, mental capacity, or their situation, is priceless. It’s more than being a voice of reason, it’s being a calm and steady presence, while being completely excited for them!” -T

"Discovering RJ was a game-changer in my journey to stop drinking and overcome self-loathing. Before, I was stuck in old patterns, battling negative self-talk, and fearing an alcohol-free life. RJ 'got me' from the start, addressing the core issue of self-loathing with insightful tips and tools. In our weekly sessions over the past 4 months, he meets me where I am, offering invaluable support and guidance. Learning to be kinder to myself, celebrate progress, and keep small promises has transformed my life. Now over 3 months alcohol-free, I'm more present, optimistic, and exploring my creative side with music and healthy cooking. RJ's support, knowledge, and humor have been key to my success. I’m grateful for this amazing journey!" -Melo C

“Discovering RJ was a pivotal moment in my journey. Previously grappling with alcohol moderation, high stress, and low self-esteem, I felt utterly defeated. However, RJ's safe and judgment-free environment transformed my experience. Embracing self-grace, I shed the weight of perfectionism and began celebrating my accomplishments. Now equipped with hope and practical tools, I navigate life's challenges with newfound resilience and self-encouragement. This journey has bestowed upon me a profound sense of peace and empowerment.” - Carey Lynn
