Why 'alcoholic' is a misleading label: Jeff's story Jeff Brecht almost always knew he had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. But because his drinking didn't line up with his idea of a "typical alcoholic," he didn't know what to think. Brecht could go for several months without drinking. He had a successful career in finance, no DUIs and never drank around his children.      Read his story Coaching data snapshot Does addiction confuse you? You're not alone   "About 15 years ago, I came to realize that my addiction to alcohol was mostly a mystery to me. The more questions I asked, the more questions I had.

Stumbling Blocks in Long-Term Recovery | The Fix

Stumbling Blocks in Long-Term Recovery | The Fix: I am a psychotherapist and person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is the preferred method to treat trauma. I work with people from all backgrounds with a variety of complaints and presenting problems. One of my favorite populations to work with are people in recovery from any-kind of addiction. These people in recovery might be abstinent from substances and attend 12-step meetings; they might be on a maintenance medication like Suboxone or Methadone; they may want to moderate their drinking.
