Alcohol Counselling Services in Wellington.
The Sober Coach Program integrates the most effective aspects of traditional rehabilitation methods to provide a comprehensive six-week approach aimed at achieving long-term sobriety.
Our approach and program are based on psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, and goal setting. It’s very similar to a residential rehab program, but it is a condensed version without the group living setting.
Our service is specialized, and we only work with alcohol addiction, alcohol dependence syndrome, and alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Break free from Alcoholism and live again...
A life of Anxiety, Embarrassment and Broken Promises?
Are people tired of your broken promises? Is your drinking affecting your relationship with your spouse and children? Are you waking up the next day full of anxiety? Do you feel alone all the time, even in a room full of people? Is your drinking impacting your work or business life? These are all common signs of alcoholism or alcohol use disorder.
Are you Living in Day Three? and just can seem to beat the addiction?
Many individuals who experience alcoholism encounter challenges by day three of their cessation efforts. While you may establish intentions to refrain from drinking, it is not uncommon to succumb to temptation. You are not alone, as a neurological basis exists for this occurrence. Your sober coach will walk and guide you though this sometimes mind-boggling journey.
How often are you thinking about that next drink?
Do you often contemplate the idea of consuming alcohol when not engaged in drinking? Do you experience thoughts such as, “I could drink at this time”? Or do you look forward to being alone with the bottle? Do you find yourself buying alcohol when you said you wouldn’t? If this holds true, it sounds like you’re in the passenger seat while your addiction is behind the wheel. Take the online test to give you an idea of where you sit.
Lets be honest, how long have you been living like this?
addictive mind often procrastinates, but it’s time to take action, not put things off. You might think you’ll quit drinking next week or after the next event, or when you are in a better head space. but reflect on where you were last month or last year – were you thinking the same back then? Alcohol use disorder rarely stays the same it always gets worse. You can’t think yourself into right living – you must live yourself into right thinking.
The common reason stopping people from getting Sober?
Arrogance will keep you in addiction. A considerable number of individuals struggling with alcoholism perceive themselves as being a distinct category of alcoholic ” Not a real alcoholic” This perspective results in the postponement of seeking professional help. Such a mindset significantly contributes to the unfortunate loss of over a thousand lives annually in New Zealand due to various health complications related to alcoholism.
