Recent success stories from actual clients
about their progress since The Kick Start Recovery Session.
I just wanted to thank you so much for coming to the right answers on this — you gave me hope. And, as of today, I am just thinking I have to get a great local MD to get my blood pressure under control, and go from there. What helps me most is that you promote hope, without BS. Bless you. I am much better now just based on hope.
Small Business Owner (34) San Francisco
I am very pleased to report that I have NOT HAD ONE DRINK since our session. I followed through quickly, got my prescription from my family doctor for ————, had to hunt all over the place to get it filled as it has been taken off the market and had to be specially compounded. The scrip cost me $60 (I didn’t put it through my benefit plan to avoid it being on record as you suggested). BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!Now I am feeling physically way better (still get grumpy and angry I can’t drink, but that will pass I am sure as I find way more enjoyable pursuits than bars and drinking), and working on taking off on a whole new plane in life.I also wanted to take this opportunity thank you for helping me make one of the most important changes of my life – I am smiling from ear to ear now, and looking forward to celebrating my husband’s birthday next Tuesday which will be the start of my 4th week off booze. He is on cloud 9 along with me!
All the best,

Have you run out of second chances?
You are here at this site because parts of your life are not working. Some key dimension of your life is in peril: marriage or family, career or economic well-being, mental acuity, general health. Something is very wrong and you are at great risk of losing it. Let me help you get back on track and regain control.
If you still have questions about participating
in The KICK START Session, an alcoholism treatment program, by phone, I will be happy to answer
them in a “no-risk, no-obligation” confidential
phone consultation.
You can make this call in complete privacy.
A scheduled Question and Answer Time of fifteen minutes can be made directly with me. You can make this call discreetly from anywhere you feel comfortable to ask the most private and potentially embarrassing questions to get the information you need. You want to know with confidence that The ”Kick-Start” Recovery Session is the right next step for you to free yourself from the entanglement of your addiction. And I offer this to you for free.

Create your own success.
Choose your treatment tools.
There is no such thing as “one-size-fits-all” in alcoholism treatment, as is traditionally preached in the 12-Step community. Based on my own battle and recovery from alcohol and drugs, as well as the repeated success I’ve seen in my clients, I know you are not powerless over your addictions.
Contemporary research supports that there is no singular path to recovery. In fact, it is this “one-size-fits-all” paradigm that creates chronic relapse, a sense of powerlessness, hopelessness, and despair, often resulting in tremendous tragedies for people and their families.
The truth is that just because the 12-step methods do not work for you, it doesn’t mean that you are doomed. There are many other roads to recovery from problems with alcohol.
The ”Kick-Start” Recovery Session is an alcoholism treatment program designed to empower you with the knowledge of your options for recovery. You will be able to choose the best sequence of actions that fits your situation, personality, beliefs, values and lifestyle goals.
In complete privacy, I will help you construct a solid plan that focuses on your specific strategy to a healthier and happier life.
