Addictions ! Let's make a change all together !!!

Help me Fight Addiction!

 

My name is Christine, the owner of House of Courage. We specialize in addiction recovery and online life coaching.

 

I was thinking about how to write my story.... and I have always taught people thru all those years and reminded them that if they speak from the bottom of their heart, then people will feel their honesty and sincerity towards the message that they want to deliver to others .... that's exactly what I am doing.

 

My husband and I have been helping people for many years.... people that you would not suspect how much they were broken, hurt and lost.

 

I have been one of those persons, and we all know directly or indirectly a person who is or has been in this position of fighting addiction.

 

My husband and I have run a successful recovery house for years.... a recovery house for addictions.... and sadly we had to let go of our passion, vocation and dedication to help people and had to shut down the residential side due to the pandemic and just lost everything.

 

I was thinking about how I can continue to help people as this has been a big part of my life now for a couple plus decades of abstinence and sobriety.

 

Yes, I have been down this road of addictions and suffered thru hell, and I have lost a lot of important people and relationships, including my own family, in my addictions and behaviors. For over 25+ years now and helping others have kept me away from those addictions and behaviors that was so destructive towards me at the time and others.

 

My husband and I are still dreaming of opening another recovery house down the road one day in the future .... but for now, the reality is there, and we will have to rebuild all of that from scratch.

 

The biggest challenge for people has always been the money .... or other places that would be free have a long waiting list that sometimes could be for a couple of months to a few months .... and I don't have to tell you that a person suffering from addictions needs help NOW and are ready NOW and cannot wait for weeks or months to go and get help or anyone as well that would need help for any other reasons and not specifically for addictions.

 

So I have written a program that gives a lot of tools to the person, workshops, daily or every second day to meet with me virtually thru zoom meetings for an hour up to 2 hours and have Life Coaching sessions and talk just about anything that is going on in the person's life and ready to share with me.

 

Also, if the person would want to get in-patient treatment, then I could help the person find a safe place and or other options for their recovery.

 

I have been doing this and working in the field now for over 25 years.... and a lot of people don't realize that getting the tools and chatting about everything can save us from huge relapse.... and feeling down and being so hard on ourselves and stay in that negativity all the time and always expecting catastrophes and remain stuck in those thoughts.

 

I have a lot of requests from people on a regular basis that want to have Life Coaching sessions with me and are ready and hoping for a change.... but they have lost everything and, like us, will have to start from scratch.

 

The money that you will donate will be to continue to help as many people as I can and have options for them to get that help that they would need NOW and also help me to continue working in this amazing field that I have so much love and compassion for.

 

I am starting with the amount of $15,000.00 as a goal, and once I will have reached that goal and give that money away for Life Coaching sessions, then I will repost on a regular basis.

 

You can follow my progress the great work that I am doing on my website houseofcourage.ca and social channels.

 

Everybody in life deserves to be happy and should be treated fairly without any judgments from anyone.

 

So help me fight Addiction!

 

Always remember that Life Coaching can make a difference.... and help for a good cause that would help not only people with addictions and behaviors but also with mental health and other situations that could have happened in the past in a person's life.

 

I love people and talking with them, I am a problem solver and very experienced and knowledgeable, and I know I can help a person thru their difficult times. I do work with a registered counselor that can help in a field that I cannot, and I also work with a motivational speaker and all together, we can ensure that we provide a well rounded solution.

 

Regardless if you decide not to donate or donate. I wanted to personally thank everyone in the name of my husband and I. Thank you so much for your time of reading this, and we wish you to have a beautiful life and to take care of yourself, family & friends.

 

Warm Regards

Christine
