A RECOVERY COACH CAN WORK FOR YOU

Without a long-term relapse prevention plan, most people will be unsuccessful in
their attempts to remain clean & sober.  A Recovery Coach is the next step for
those recovering from alcohol, drugs or other addictions. Working closely with
the individual’s family as well, I offer a comprehensive & individualised
recovery coach & sober companion service.

Having your own recovery coach can help a person new to recovery to manage the
precarious first few days, weeks or months of life outside of the treatment
facility. Your recovery coach has first-hand experience of what it feels like to
be out amongst it all & knows how easily one can fall into the trap of
self-sabotage & relapse. A coach can be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
They will help you become accountable to a plan you make for healthy living &
reintegration. They can be available long-term or short-term. A sober companion
can accompany you on work travel, tours or periods of time away from home.


ALCOHOL

Around 34% of people who are sober for less than a year will stay that way,
however if we get to a year of sobriety, the relapse rate falls to less than
half. If you get the five-year sobriety mark, your chances of relapsing are less
than 15%.




SUBSTANCE ABUSE

85% of people relapse & return to drug use within the year following treatment.
Researchers estimate that more than 66% of individuals in recovery relapse
within weeks to months of beginning addiction treatment.




OTHER ADDICTIONS

Food, Gambling, Work, Love, Shopping, Debt, Exercise, Gaming – can all be ‘used’
same as a drink or drug. They bring about guilt, shame & embarrassment; the user
often in denial that they allowed themselves to fall into such a trap. 




SIGNS OF RELAPSE

Isolating, Not looking after yourself, Bottling up emotions, Poor eating &
sleeping habits, Minimising consequences, Relaxing boundaries to suit oneself,
Poor self-care, Seeing old drinking/drugging ‘friends’




ADDICTION IN THE UK

The UK has the highest level of drug & alcohol addiction in Europe. This
includes legal substances & the use of Class A drugs; i.e. heroin, cocaine, meth
& hallucinogens. £36 billion is spent by the nation every year on treatment
relating to drug and alcohol abuse. The success rates for staying clean & sober
are disappointingly low. Addiction does not just affect the users themselves;
addiction destroys families & communities.

Getting sober is a big deal, it’s a life-changer, ask anyone who has done it. It
requires support & guidance. 12 Step Fellowships offer this kind of guidance &
support, however some of us need more support than meetings & a sponsor can
offer, so we go to treatment.

Here we experience a fast track, immersion into healing & recovering from our
pain & addiction. When we get out, some of us decide we want to insure against
relapse by using a recovery coach. A good Recovery Coach will lead by example;
they’ll be open & honest with you about their own journey – there can’t be
judgment, because they are an addict too & have done the same [or worse] than
you, instead you’ll experience ‘identification’ & a feeling of safety. The coach
can share what’s worked for them & offer several tools for managing your day, a
moment at a time, whilst you are feeling so raw. The coach will relate on a
personal level with the you, meeting you exactly where you are, emotionally &
physically. Your coach is a coach because recovery from addiction is possible,
they want the same for you.

Maurice (Mo) Leslie has been a guide to many & a power of example to those
looking to advance their life skills, to the next level.  His own life model is
working from a platform of integrity, honesty & love while teaching those he
works alongside in recovery about the willingness to change. Mo can guide those
that work with him, supporting their particular needs, while focusing his
support on life’s challenges. He’ll help you to develop a strategy that’s
individualistic in its approach. Because of Mo’s own journey, he has the innate
ability to impact lives in & outside of the rooms of recovery, regardless where
the client is at presently in their own journey. 





Maurice has been helping me for over two years now. He has a very thorough
approach & importantly, is very easy to get along with. He always has good
advice to hand & is also very communicative. Its great for me to know he is
always on the other end of the phone if I need him & has been the main
contributor in keeping me clean and sober to this day.





I have struggled with multiple cross-addictions for my whole adult life,
probably child hood too! I’ve seen mental health professionals & counsellors,
therapists & coaches, but nobody sorts me out & speaks my language like Mo. I am
now long-time clean & sober from drugs & alcohol but I still struggle with
debting & food; Maurice can nail my behaviour & make me acknowledge the light at
the end of the darkness I impose on myself when I indulge in my addictive
behaviours. He’s funny & his darkness is overcome with his warmth & love for
recovery. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
