1) What is the Law of Sobriety about and how does it differ from other treatment options for addicts and alcoholics?
The Law of Sobriety is simply seven steps that an addict or alcoholic can go through to help them achieve sobriety. The seven steps need not be in any order. They include finding one’s life purpose, living a life of value, living a life of authenticity, learning to live in appreciation, compassion, and forgiveness, living a life of right action, living with awareness and mindfulness, and learning to let go of resistance and attachments.
2) How did you get into this field?
I went back to school later in life and my goal originally was to help single parents and their families. I had been a single parent and wanted to give back what had been given to me by mental health professionals. After a series of jobs from doing custody mediation to hospice, I landed a job at the famed treatment center in Malibu Promises. I also married someone who is a recovering addict and alcoholic and realized I had my own issues with substance abuse at various times in my life. All of these issues lead me to working in the field of substance abuse.more
