Let’s talk about the sneaky ways alcohol manipulates your thoughts — what I call psychological dependence.
From “you’ve earned this” to “you’ll be bored without it,” these beliefs keep us stuck.
But awareness = power.
If this hits home, Control or Quit? Your Guide to Cutting Back or Cutting Off Alcohol might be precisely what you’ve been looking for.

Not sure if you need to cut back or cut off drinking? These 5 signs might give you the clarity you’ve been missing. This isn’t about rock bottom—it’s about real alignment.

🧭 My course Control or Quit? helps you decide without shame.

Where are you in the journey?

Why does “just one drink” turn into three… or 12?

It’s not a lack of willpower. It’s how your brain has been trained to chase relief and reward.
This is one of the biggest things I help clients understand in the early stages of change.
In my new course Control or Quit? Your Guide to Cutting Back or Cutting Off Alcohol, we walk through simple and powerful steps to help you understand your patterns and shift them. No shame. No pressure. No one-size-fits-all advice.

Even if you're not ready to make a change just yet, this insight is a great place to start.
Track not just how much you drink but why you reach for it. That’s the starting line.

Some rooms hold grief that has no name.
Others hold people still hoping, still showing up, still asking, “What else can I do?”

Last night, I joined Love in the Trenches (LITT) to support families affected by addiction and loss. I didn’t go to fix anything—I went to sit with them. To hold space. To remind them:

You didn’t cause it. You can’t control it.
But you don’t have to carry it alone.
And you still matter. ❤️

🌟 Joy as an Act of Resistance 🌟

Negativity and division seem to surround us every day—conflict in the news, inequality in our systems—it’s easy to feel disconnected and weighed down.

But here’s something powerful: Choosing joy is a radical act. 💛

Joy isn’t just about feeling good; it’s transformative. It reminds us that we are more than our struggles and that connection is always possible—even in hard times.

This month’s The Collective newsletter dives into this idea and so much more:

✨ FIND HEALTHY EQUILIBRIUM
Tips to keep life balanced as we step into 2025.

✨ SELF-CARE FOR THE SEASON
How joy can be your ultimate act of resistance.

✨ BEYOND DRY JANUARY
Are you curious about sobriety? Get tips and inspiration for an alcohol-free lifestyle.

✨ REFLECT ON CONNECTION
Embrace life’s cycles and strengthen your relationships.

Here’s a sneak peek from this month’s feature:

💃 Move your body. Walking, stretching, or dancing parties (kiddos love this one) can boost your mood.
🎨 Create something. Cook, draw, write, or garden to tap into purpose.
📞 Connect with someone. Share a laugh or a meaningful moment.
☀️ Savor small pleasures. Enjoy your coffee, a sunset, or your favorite song.

Choosing joy builds strength, creates hope, and connects us all. 🌈

Carl Jung’s work on the collective unconscious offers valuable insights into the shared connections that unite us as humans. Jung believed that beneath our individual minds lies a vast reservoir of shared experiences, symbols, and archetypes—what he called the 'collective unconscious.' This concept transcends our personal lives and taps into a universal consciousness, suggesting our minds are interconnected in ways we may not always perceive.

In today’s world, the idea of collective consciousness—the notion that we are all part of a shared social and psychological reality—has taken on renewed importance. As we face global challenges like political polarization, social divisions, and widespread mental health crises, the belief in our deeper connection has become more relevant than ever. Recognizing this interconnectedness can help us move beyond division and isolation toward greater connection, essential for both personal and collective well-being.

📰 At Recovery Collective, our mission is rooted in this sense of shared healing. We chose the name because our practice is not just about individual therapy—it’s about fostering a sense of togetherness and a supportive community where people can heal and grow. We wanted our bi-weekly newsletter, The Collective, to embody that same spirit. Each issue delivers insights on mental health, practical wellness tips, and exclusive content for subscribers, like in-depth guides and access to community events.

By subscribing to The Collective, you’re joining a community committed to growth and resilience, with tools to support your journey to well-being.
