Advisor in addiction and recovery programmes, 12 step or no step, how to get the best out of the anonymous fellowships, for example Alcoholics Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous. How to get the best out of fellowships is essential to sustained recovery.

A well travelled individual in mind, body and spirit. I enjoy diversity new outlooks as well as all things familiar. We think we have it all worked out from time to time, and then the world and ourselves are catapulted forward to new confusion. Nothing stays constant if we have open eyes and senses. Life is best lived in the present, we all have the same destiny and ending, so maybe our best way of living life is to relish and experience our journey. I am a journeyman, like every other. No bigger or smaller, just the equal of everyone and everyone equal to me. When we learn our true size, we can experience each day, its beauty, its joy and sadness.

Practical no nonsense guidance to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

Art, Science & Free Spirit

Our nature, to be seekers of love and happiness. I believe we are always finding more about ourselves through all our life endeavours be they good or bad. Maybe on a mission to be the best we can be. And learn how to experience life on life's terms as we go. We all share similarities, our diversity and authenticity is unique. And we are imbued with our own art and science. And we excel with freedom of spirit.

Art Our Art develops from our feelings and our expression. Everyone finds their unique and diverse expression across the many experiences life offers. We contribute to our communities and share. We give and we get, not always in measures or currencies we value immediately. Yet we have our own value to ourselves and our fellows, our self confidence and esteem.

Science

Our Science develops from our intelligence, our thinking and most likely from what we do at work and leisure. Our science is caught in the toil of life, often measured and weighed conveniently by making a living. Making choices when we have the opportunity, and often doing anything we must when we need to make ends meet. For many of us: when needs must, the 'devil' drives....

We need our Art, our Science, an understanding with ourselves, to understand our potential and opportunity. Personal Reflection with support guides our path in life.

Life Skills & Analysis Is about choices. And in a world moving so quickly, keeping us busy and often pushed to the limit, we may need someone to take time with us to consider our situation. A 'time out'. A coach, an advisor may assist your feelings and your thinking, your science and your art. Making better and realistic life choices.

Better choices to realise what we want from our lives. Understanding our potential and improving our chances through personal reflection. Ensuring our enjoyment by seeing our world as it is, our achievement and potential.
