The Push for a Creative Life
I have been pushing myself lately to really think hard about what I want to create. I do not think I have put enough effort into this really because I feel that I am somewhat without direction. In many ways I am struggling to pin down my exact marketing plans for my online businesses and such, but on the other hand, I am still trying to achieve peace and balance in my recovery and in helping other addicts and alcoholics in my professional life. I work full time at a drug and alcohol treatment center, working with sick addicts and basically taking care of them in the detox unit while they are still sick (I am a nurse assistant).
But I also reach out to addicts and alcoholics online, and also to the friends and family of these addicts through my online websites. I have one flagship website that gets a lot of daily traffic and I am able to reach about 500 new people every single day who are looking for new information about drug and alcohol addiction and recovery. As such I feel some responsibility to carry a strong and meaningful message that can actually help people. What good is it to be all philosophical and preach about the way things should be, when in fact the best route you can go would be to actually try to help people take real action and make real change in their life? It does very little good to talk about ideals when someone has their life in the toilet and really needs a life makeover in a hurry.
For example, I am not real big on AA meetings and I do not typically attend them myself anymore. However, if a newcomer is struggling with sobriety and they are not taking any action at all, then I would agree that meetings are a decent start. They may not be the ultimate answer for everyone and I am not going to push them as being the only solution available, but hey–it is better than nothing. It beats drinking yourself to death.
If you want to get creative and push yourself to do more in your recovery then explore this website further and you will find some ways to do so. This is not a personal development course, instead it is simply a set of ideas about how to become passionate about living your life.
I had to read your post three times to get the full impact of it. I enjoy reading what you have to say. It’s unfortunate that more people do not understand the benefits of coaching. Keep up the good work.
