Relationships are a two way street, but you can’t make your partner or spouse recover with you. Sometimes when we’re in the midst of a healing journey, we outgrow the people we love. While you may still be head-over-heels in love with the person, you’ve started to notice that you want different things in life, or that you’re going in two separate directions.
Maybe you want more, and your spouse or partner is content where they are. There’s nothing wrong with wanting different things, however, this could be a telltale sign that you’re outgrowing your spouse or partner in recovery.
So what, exactly, do we do in this situation?
In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Cyndy. Feeling angry, frustrated, and sad within her marriage, she feels her personal development and recovery work have created new opportunities and goals in her life. She wonders if her or her husband have any commonalities anymore. Feeling stuck, the group helps her make an informed decision about the next step to take in her marriage.
In today’s Recovery Coaching call, you’ll learn:

Whether it be drug or alcohol addiction, money, or a relationship, we all have attachments that may or may not be serving us. However, when we’re able to identify them, overcome them, and use them as part of our story, that’s when we can truly find freedom.
Russ Perry’s experience was no different. After a tumultuous affair and battle with alcohol addiction, he found himself in and out of 12-step programs, Celebrate Recovery groups, and therapy. Through various physical and emotional bottoms, it wasn’t until he had a profound experience after reading a book on his family lineage. He realized most were alcoholics and drug addicts. It was that profound moment he decided to change the trajectory of his path and ultimately his family tree.
It was then that Russ decided to change everything, including shutting down his seven figure business. From there he started to participate in coaching, personal development, and find a healthy destination to focus his time and energy. In 2015 he launched DesignPickle.
Pulling inspiration from the idea that everyone should have access to seamless graphic design — a problem he often faced at his agency — and his love of pickles, Perry set out to build the pickle-themed company with zero outside funding. For the first few years, he attended marketing events with nothing but an ice cream-turned-pickle-cart and a pickle suit, hoping the “quirkiness” would resonate with people and transform into clients and revenue. Since then, Design Pickle has grown from 2 employees to over 500 globally, was ranked #345 on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list, and has completed over 500,000 creative requests. He is also the author of The Sober Entrepreneur.

We all go through tough times. But why is it so hard for many of us to ask for help during these times? Asking for help is the cornerstone of sobriety, though, it’s one of the biggest barriers that prevent us from getting sober and living out our true potential.
Asking for help requires us to be vulnerable and in doing so we ultimately put ourselves at risk for disappointment, rejection, and it can cause us to feel weak or vulnerable. Others may lack the social skills to ask for help, and some don’t know where to turn.
Though, when we begin to ask ourselves where this fear of becoming vulnerable stems from, most of us can return back to a place in childhood.
In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Pauly. Making significant career changes in his life, he finds himself struggling to ask for help. Through the years, he’s attracted those that take advantage of him and craves significance by those that continue to drain him. Stemming from an incident in childhood, Pauly recounts the very first time he sought approval from those that may not be good influences on him and recognizes patterns that got him where he is today.
The group also helped Gary. Feeling stressed and overwhelmed by his wife’s cancer diagnosis, the “grin-and-bear-it” culture of pretending that everything is okay is not working for him anymore. He must lean on the group to find emotional support and learn how to feel deserving to care for himself.

‘What we really need more than anything else during this pandemic is some hope.”
As the COVID-19 pandemic struck us all with fear, frustration, and anxiety, Lori Livacich saw it as an opportunity to make a big difference with a small gesture.
Stemming from her initial idea of creating something of recognition for front-line workers, Lori Livacich co-founded and created the Hero Lapel Pin -- a pin that is meant to be given to everyday heroes and essential workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
“There’s pins to thank nurses, there’s pins to thank doctors, but what about everyone else who is putting their lives on the line?”
From there, Lori created one thousand pins and started giving them away. The concept took off.
“I went to the grocery store and saw a single mom, she probably had kids, and was fearful and exhausted, but you can just see it in her eyes. I could give someone a $100 bill but giving someone that pin just makes a world of difference.”
However, it didn’t take Lori overnight to get to get here. Through years of hard work and persistence, she combatted and battled addictions to food, cigarettes, and alcohol. Though a massive lifestyle change with coaching and support around here, today is a widely successful in all aspects of her life.
Prior to creating the Hero Lapel Pin, Livacich gained experience in various industries over the years. She began her career in public relations at a small advertising agency in Newport Beach, that transitioned her into working for her father’s produce company, Vista Sales that grew, packed and shipped strawberries, tomatoes, avocados, and more. She worked as a Sales Manager for their San Diego division, which led her to be one of the first women to successfully lead her role in a primarily male-dominated industry.

How many of us feel like we’ve had to prove our worth as soon as we get sober?
What if our friends, colleagues, or family discover we do not actually deserve everything we’ve accomplished? Just like recovery, self-worth doesn’t happen overnight. Falling into a state of “Imposter Syndrome” takes up our time and energy. When this happens, guilt, shame, and fear can inhibit us from experiencing the true gifts of sobriety.
In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call we helped Shanna. On the precipice of sobriety, Shanna is stuck at a crossroads. Sobriety is inherent on building a solid foundation, and she must choose which recovery program fits her needs the best. As the group walks her through the process of finding recovery capital, her perspective shifts. With guidance, support, and open-ended questions from the Recovery Coaching group, she begins to find the answers to her own questions.
The group also helped Rebecca. Stuck in a state of imposter syndrome, she feels that was an imbalance of what she wants to accomplish. inhibited by the chaos that’s happening in her life, she turned to the Recovery Coaching group for help and guidance. Going inside, Rebecca uncovered the truth about herself with love and with acceptance.
