Attitude. A great word and it reflects in every aspect of our lives!
"And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone -- even alcohol (or other addictions or destructive behaviour).
For by this time sanity will have returned.
We will seldom be interested in liquor (Or old behaviours).If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame.
We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically.
We will see that our new attitude toward liquor (an others negative living habits) has been given us without any thought or effort on our part.
It just comes! That is the miracle of it."

Here I am, quoting the AA book again, but adding things in brackets.
For it is not only those with a drinking problem who benefit from incorporating the principles of the 12 step program into their lives; EVERY human being can benefit. A well known PhD in psychology and a practising forensic psychologist once said to me, "I could not give any person a better model for good mental hygiene than the 12 steps" (Dr. Ruth M. Bray). Maybe that is why the AA program has been used in founding 150 or more self-help groups with millions of people involved globally! It just happens to work.
In collaboration with others, and from personal experience, we came up with a coaching model we call the "Co-Creative Process of Life Recovery". While the Process helps those with addictions, it also works for any person who wants life improvement and personal growth. Want a better job? It works. Want better personal relationships? It works. Want less stress and worry? It works. Want to conquer fear and resentments? It works. Is anger an issue in your life? It works. Shockingly, the process works to improve almost every life situation.
The "Co-Creative Process of Life Recovery" incorporates all that is good in the 12 steps, and takes it beyond. Building on improved mental hygiene, it allows our clients to be coached to success in nearly ANY aspect of our lives.
There are people with good natural athletic ability. Those who achieve great success in their sport do it by using a coach to help them maximize their talent. If they allow the coach to coach, and do the work, they achieve maximum performance in their particular sport. The same holds true in all areas of life where a person has to perform and wants to do their best!
We coach success and guarantee results to our clients. We only take on clients who are committed to work at what they consider to be success in the areas they want improvement in, who are prepared to be totally honest and where chemistry between coach and client is good. The real pleasure in our work comes from seeing clients set, and achieve, THEIR goals!
