Listen to the videos and comments below to learn more! Developed by Dr. Judith Landau and Nanette Zumwalt, this course has quickly become recognized as a remarkable certificate training for any individual working one-to-one with client's and their families in program settings as well.   “A MUST HAVE educational course for individuals working, or interested in the work of, 'Recovery Specialist' e.g. Personal Recovery Assistant, Sober Companion, Sober Coach, etc.” The instruction delivers detailed and specific information so that each participant may acquire the knowledge to further develop his/her individual skill set and understanding of the importance of professional collaboration, ongoing assessment, emergency action, strength based approaches and goal specific, measurable Recovery Planning with clients and their families. The IRI Certified Recovery Specialist, Level 1 Training recently given in Long Beach, California was informative, insightful, creatively delivered, thought provoking and altogether enjoyable. As a viable component of addiction treatment the curriculum focuses on, where have come from historically, challenges our current knowledge and methodologies but, most importantly the direction we are going towards legitimacy and valorization. As a seasoned professional in the field of 15 years, we are long overdue for an ethical industry standard of this caliber to be set and available to those of us with vast experience or newly entering the field. Empowering us to approach this profession with confidence in a continuum of care that would be an asset to any client and or clinical team at any level of treatment. The balance of history, theory, cooperation, definition, practicality, legalities, ethical behaviors and self regulation within this curriculum was seamlessly melded together through our instructors vast experiential knowledge. After completing the Level 1 Training, it is my opinion that anyone interested in, working as, working with or simply understanding the valuable resource of a Recovery Specialist can benefit from the training offered by IRI. With that, a fond thank you for the time, energy and forward thinking required to compile such an educational body of work. Truly I am looking forward to enrolling in the Advanced Levels and Specialties education to come." - Robert G Wells, Recovery Specialist International Recovery Training Sponsored by: internationalrecoveryinstitute.net Contact us: info@internationalrecoveryinstitute.net

It is so nice to see someone get to the other side. You didn't give up and I really like that. Just one thing: How did you turn it around? You didn't really go into detail on the "hows" of overcoming this horrible disease. thank you again for this article. I loved it. -Martina MORE>>

10-23-17 TWELVE STEPPING WITH SUPPORT FROM SCRIPTURE

Psalm 41v3 -The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to Health.

Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God.

Spiritual decay Disease is the most under-diagnosed condition in the world. The Twelve steps mention the cure, but most have watered it down and we wonder why becoming sober leaves most feeling their lives are empty and pointless. Life in rebellion and separate from you God makes all of us Spiritually sick. Spiritual decay must be addressed first that's why the first three steps take us in this direction.Getting your Spirit Healthy will make all reasons to self-medicate useless. Seek, pray, believe, trust, and educate yourself about God your Father!His plans for your life and how to stay on His path. Nurse you back to Health Spiritually, physically, and mentally is what He does.

Proverbs 4:v20 22 - My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.
