Pacing Yourself In Recovery (Substance Abuse and Trauma)

Hi, I'm Ken. Here to tell you about the importance of pacing yourself through the recovery process. Substance abuse/Chemicaldependency? Codependency? Whether your are recovering through AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), Al-Anon, OA (Overeaters Anonymous), ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics), or a combination of these fellowships, properly pacing your journey is crucial in reaching and maintaining your goals. There are stages of alcohol recovery and stages of addiction recovery. Don't rush yourself through them or you will burn out once the pink cloud lifts. We go from hurting to healing to helping. Just remember that the healing has a sting to it. Ride it out. I'm Ken Francis, M.S., California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and author of The Intimacy Gram and The Gratitude Snorkel and Other Bedtime Stories. I specialize in Alcohol Addiction treatment, Substance Use Disorder Treatment, trauma recovery, and group therapy. With Covid-19 social distancing practices, I have had to stop teaching classes at my clinic. This video and others are my attempt to make my educational topics available to my patients. I have placed them on YouTube so others can benefit.
