Grief Recovery

Grief doesn’t only show up when someone dies.
It shows up when we lose relationships, when we realize we can no longer trust somebody, and when we’re robbed of opportunities.

Most people don’t even realize they’re grieving—they just think they’re angry, broken, or numb.

Grief shows up everywhere: alcoholism, addiction, mental health, family dysfunction, interpersonal relationships, and jobs.

And then there’s Survivor’s Guilt:
“Why am I still here and they’re not?”
“It should’ve been me.”

That guilt is HEAVY.

It convinces you that being alive is some kind of mistake.
It’s not.
You’re still here for a reason.
Even if you don’t yet have the why.

Here’s the truth about Grief:
There’s no timeline.
There’s no quick fix.
There’s only recovery.

Not the kind you find in a meeting hall or in a fancy brochure.

I’m talking about learning to live with that weight without allowing that weight to crush you.
Learning to let the loss(es) motivate you.
Transforming pain into purpose.

Regulate or Be Ruled:

Y’all love talking about healing but everybody skips over the part that involves actually feeling your s**t so you can heal your s**t.

Breathwork isn’t just trendy.
It’s a nervous system reset.

It’s how you tell your body “we’re safe now.”
If you don’t teach your body that, it’ll stay in survival mode — always scanning, always reacting, always on edge.

Here’s what real breathwork + emotional regulation gives you:

🧠 Clarity – Not everything needs a reaction. You learn to respond instead of explode.
🔒 Stability – You stop riding the emotional rollercoaster like a hostage.
🙏🏼 Presence – You show up in your life instead of just surviving it.
💪🏼 Power – Your breath becomes a weapon. Your calm becomes dangerous.

You ever met someone who doesn’t flinch under pressure?
They’re likely breathing through it.
You ever wonder why you can’t focus?
Why you spiral?
Why you say s**t you don’t mean?

Start here:

Regulate your breath.
Regulate your emotions.
Reclaim your life.

Namaste. 🫶🏼

In the world of recovery, abstinence is just the beginning.

The real work starts after treatment and sober living.

That’s where Aegrum comes in.

We specialize in helping adolescents and young adults, and their families rebuild their lives after struggling with alcoholism/addiction.

Not with slogans. Not with shame.

But with therapy that’s rooted in identity, systems, and purpose.

We’re not a treatment center.
We’re not a sober living.

We’re the missing link between stabilization and reintegration.

We plan to offer:

✅ Family systems therapy
✅ Neurodivergent-affirming care
✅ Life design and reintegration support
✅ Emotional regulation and communication tools
✅ Support for parents and caregivers navigating the unknown

Whether your loved one just left sober living, completed residential treatment, or is enrolled in an outpatient program—we’re here to help them live again.

And to help you heal alongside them.

We believe recovery isn’t just about staying clean.

It’s about becoming whole.

Let’s change the culture.
Together.

Alcoholism, OCD, and ADHD: The Overlap Nobody Talks About

We don’t talk about the overlap between alcoholism and neurodivergence—especially OCD and ADHD.

But we need to. Because for many of us, alcohol wasn’t just partying or a trauma response.

Alcohol was a form of self-medication.

If you’ve lived with the constant mental chatter that is OCD—the racing thoughts, the looping thoughts, the compulsions you hide, the need to feel “just right”—then you know how tempting it is to shut your brain off by any means necessary.

Alcohol does that. Until it doesn’t.

If you’ve lived with untreated ADHD—impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, chaos—alcohol feels like your saving grace.

Alcohol is a depressant.

It slows things down. It makes you feel “normal.” It lets you exist without the constant internal overwhelm.

But here’s the catch:
The very wiring that made us vulnerable to SUD is the same wiring that makes traditional recovery spaces feel inaccessible.
• Telling someone with ADHD to sit still in a chair and “listen quietly for an hour” doesn’t make sense. (I don’t even go to meetings anymore…)
• Telling someone with OCD to “let go and let God” might activate more anxiety than it relieves.
• And expecting neurodivergent people to engage in sponsor-heavy, people-pleasing, unspoken-rule-based community/culture?

That’s not recovery. That’s performance.

We need to start designing recovery spaces that honor neurological differences.

We need clinicians and peer leaders who understand the brain/body, not just the bottle.

Because sometimes, it’s not that you were weak.
It’s that your brain was wired differently—and you were never given the tools necessary to get by in the real world.

Healing happens when you stop trying to fix what’s not broken and start learning how to support what’s been misunderstood.

Call it Alcoholism. Call it OCD/ADHD.

The goal is still to help people overcome their drinking and drug use … and learn to utilize things like CBT, DBT, and breath work

To be clear:

I am not an addiction treatment center.

I’m a guy who enjoys helping alcoholics/addicts, people with mental health issues, and high-risk teens.

I also enjoy parent training and clinical education.

I work at a hospital, I’m in school, I have an internship lined up, and I’m trying to build this company.

The goal is a private practice.
Not an addiction treatment center.

I do not want the overhead or the responsibility that come with owning an addiction treatment center.

I am literally a one-man operation. Thank you. 🙏🏼
