Addiction Recovery for Introverts

Avoid a lifetime of AA meetings. Recover on your own terms.

Introverted Recovery is an alternative path to overcoming drug addiction and alcoholism.  Traditional recovery (such as AA/NA) focuses heavily on meetings and a strong social element.  However, you really can do it yourself–sober up, commit to personal growth, and start pushing forward.  

See the differences here:

My name is Patrick.  I’m an introvert.  I surrendered to the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction on January 1st, 2001.  Since then I have not had a single slip up in my recovery journey.  Not once.  

At the start of my journey I asked for help and I was thrust into the world of AA and NA meetings.  I was definitely anxious in the meetings.  I dreaded speaking in them.  I didn’t even like being asked if I wanted to share.  

So after a brief period of time I left the meetings entirely, and in doing so, I started to form a path in recovery that worked for me.  And I realize now that the principles I discovered and the path that I took can be replicated by others.  

I’m an introvert who also has a lot of social anxiety when it comes to AA meetings, and I now have 24 years clean and sober.

I’ve taken everything that has worked for me in the last 24 years to help me stay clean and sober and distilled it down into this program. 

It is essentially all of the stuff that helps anyone to stay clean and sober, minus the social elements.  But because of that, we have to make a special effort to make up for the lack of social support.  

This requires a dedicated plan, specific actions, and an alternative mindset that doesn’t follow traditional recovery norms.

First I’ll explain to you about the correct mindset for recovery – how to make a courageous leap into recovery itself, how to let the fear of relapse motivate you, and how to stick to your decision for recovery.

Then I’ll show you how to embrace personal growth and holistic health, addressing topics such as spirituality, emotional health, and exercise.  All of this is accomplished through the use of daily habits, and a dead simple system for implementing it all.  Again, this worked for me.

Finally, I’ll show you how to prevent relapse in long term recovery and overcome complacency–by seeking a balanced lifestyle, addressing pain points, and taking massive action when it’s required.  

* If you happen to be contemplating sobriety or recovery, but are still drinking/using, I also show you how to approach the decision to go to rehab, the decision to get clean in the first place, as well as finding the motivation to do so.

You don’t have to grind out a lifetime of meetings in order to recover.
