Abstinence Coaching

Abstinence Coaching vs. 12-step Abstinence

This is very different from Alcoholics Anonymous and other AA-style meetings which emphasize that you have a life-long disease, that you must believe in a higher power, and that you are powerless over your addiction. By requiring you to attend group meetings for the rest of your life, the 12-step approach actually substitutes your old addiction with a new addiction to an external group of people who will somehow keep you sober. You don't need "group" to successfully manage your excessive behaviors.

In refreshing contrast, Abstinence Coaching shows you that you don't need "group" to live a fulfilling life, free from alcohol or drug abuse and other self-destructive behaviors. You need new life-management skills to help you confidently face and manage the uncomfortable moods and feelings that you usually choose to suppress with your favorite substances or behaviors. Dr. Kern's coaching will help you select the best tools and skills for your personality, challenges and behavior goals.

Abstinence Coaching gives you unprecedented, true anonymity and autonomy. Finally, you can receive help and guidance without having the public shame and embarrassment that often occur when you "go public" in a 12-step meeting.
