Re: Breaking the cycle of relapse with a path that honors the Sacred

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the endless cycle of failed attempts, guilt, and despair, I’ve been there too.

I personally know the pain of relapsing time and time again and the heartbreak of slipping after years of sobriety. Life has a way of testing us—through grief, career setbacks, global pandemics, and the kind of challenges that leave us feeling hopeless and lost. But even if you’ve stumbled, even if you feel like you’re starting over, there’s still hope.

At 25, I woke up from a blackout in jail and realized something had to change. That dark moment became the spark that ignited a life-altering decision: I was done. Now, 20 years later, I see that sobriety wasn’t just a choice I made once—it was the start of a lifelong journey.

But the path hasn’t been a straight line. I know what it’s like to build years of sobriety, only to be knocked off course by overwhelming life circumstances. After my mother passed away, my business collapsed, and the isolation of the COVID lockdowns set in, I faltered. If you’ve faced moments where the weight of the world feels unbearable, know you’re not alone—you’re in good company here.

Through every setback, I’ve discovered that sobriety is about more than just stopping harmful behaviors. It’s about rebuilding your life from the ground up, transforming chaos into order, and reconnecting with something bigger than yourself. It’s about discovering purpose, creating structure, and allowing that structure to support a deeper, more meaningful life. From these lessons, Sacred Sobriety was born—a way to guide others through the struggles I know all too well.

And this journey goes beyond simply quitting old habits—it’s about plunging into the depths of your psyche. For those willing to go deep, I offer tools to help you confront the darkest corners of your subconscious—what I call the Hell’s Basement Ritual. It’s not easy work. You’ll face chaos, fear, and pain head-on, but it’s in that daring exploration where true freedom begins.

This profound inner work aligns seamlessly with the core values of Sacred Sobriety, guiding you to transform hidden wounds into sources of insight, resilience, and spiritual strength (“spiritual alchemy”). By embracing these shadows rather than avoiding them, you take a crucial step toward authentic self-integration and deeper connection with the Sacred.

Your journey doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to begin. I’ve walked through the dark depths of addiction, the loneliness of emergency rooms, the cold confines of county jails, and moments where hope seemed out of reach. But I’ve learned that no matter how impossible life feels, the path forward is always there, waiting for you to take the first step.

Through all of it, one truth became undeniable:

Suffering doesn’t define us—it shapes us.

True character is forged in the fires of struggle, not born from intelligence or ease. The resilience, empathy, and strength we gain from facing hardship are gifts that can carry us forward—if we allow them to.

As I look back, I see now that my recovery was guided by three principles:

  1. Never giving up on myself, even when the road seemed impossible.
  2. Intuitively seeking the Sacred, trusting that something greater was guiding me, even when I couldn’t see it.
  3. Asking for help, because sometimes the only way out of the darkness is to reach for someone else’s light.

These principles not only helped me stay sober but also gave me the foundation to build a life of purpose, clarity, and peace. They’re at the heart of Sacred Sobriety, and they’ve become the pillars of what I now teach to others seeking freedom from problem drinking and addiction.

Along the way, I’ve uncovered key insights that have the power to break the chains of problem drinking and addiction and guide you toward a life of spiritual connection and freedom.

Here are five insights I’ve learned through my own journey, and I hope they will serve as a guide for yours…

My Perspective on Recovery

1. Guilt, shame, & rehashing our “defects” keep us sick.

“You’re only as sick as your secrets.” But it’s not the secrets themselves that harm us—it’s the guilt and shame we carry about them. These emotions become heavy chains, anchoring us in a cycle of self-punishment and disconnection.

Recovery programs like AA often focus on cataloging our defects of character, but rehashing our “sins” repeatedly can keep us stuck. When guilt and shame are constantly revisited, they stop being tools for growth and become barriers to healing. Instead of empowering us to move forward, this focus reinforces feelings of unworthiness and failure.

Breaking Free from the Chains of Shame

Years of accumulated guilt—whether personal, generational, or societal—can block our path to healing. People like us often carry an especially heavy load of shame, far beyond what most people experience. This burden can perpetuate cycles of sickness unless addressed with compassion and a shift in focus.

Relapsing isn’t shameful, and it isn’t a sign of failure. It’s starting over with experience. Instead of seeing a slip as a loss, it should be recognized as a learning opportunity. Recovery is not about hierarchies or judgment—it’s about humility, growth, and healing.

The Way Forward

A compassionate recovery program should guide us to:

  1. Release Guilt: Acknowledge mistakes without letting them define us.
  2. Shift Focus: Instead of obsessing over defects, focus on strengths and progress.
  3. Redefine Relapse: View setbacks as part of the journey, not the end of it.
  4. Foster Connection: Break cycles of shame by seeking understanding and support.

True healing comes from letting go—not by rehashing every wrong but by moving toward forgiveness and growth. Guilt and shame thrive in isolation, but compassion and connection pave the way to spiritual freedom.

2. This is a heroic act of self-discovery & spiritual alchemy.

  1. Heroic Journey: Sobriety often requires courage, resilience, and a willingness to face one’s inner demons, much like the hero’s journey in mythology. Choosing sobriety means stepping into the unknown, confronting pain and vulnerability, and committing to a path of transformation despite the challenges.
  2. Defiance Against Odds: In a world where addiction thrives on societal pressures, escapism, and disconnection, choosing sobriety is an act of defiance. It asserts one’s autonomy and determination to reclaim agency over life.
  3. Transformation of Pain: Alchemy is about transforming base elements into gold, symbolizing the process of turning suffering and chaos into wisdom and growth. Sobriety offers an opportunity to take the pain, shame, and isolation of addiction and transmute it into strength, clarity, and spiritual insight.
  4. Reconnection with the Sacred: Many find sobriety to be a spiritual awakening, reconnecting with a higher power, the universe, or their inner divinity. It’s about healing the soul and realigning with one’s true, eternal essence.

3. Removing people (spiritual sanitization) is required.

Like a spiritual surgery, recovery requires sanitizing your environment and removing toxic influences to allow for true healing. This means some of your drinking buddies have to go, and you may have to love an abusive family member from a distance. I merely bring this up, but will never insist.

Addiction is a wound—one that cannot heal if it’s constantly exposed to infection. The people, places, and habits in our lives often act as the bacteria that reinfects us, no matter how much work we put into healing. Clearing these influences—sanitizing the wound—is not just necessary; it’s transformative.

But let’s be honest: this is one of the hardest parts of recovery, requiring unwavering accountability and support to see it through. The challenge deepens when we zoom out and recognize that the culture around us is just as toxic. Modern society, drenched in hedonism and materialism, leaves us spiritually starving. Unlike the ancients, who embraced a deep connection to nature, the Sacred, and the spiritual energies that nourished their souls, we’ve lost touch with what it means to be fully human.

Recovery is more than a personal journey—it’s a cultural rebellion. It’s about consciously sanitizing the wound by removing toxic influences in your immediate environment while also rejecting the spiritual void of modern culture. This dual cleansing process is undeniably challenging, but with the right accountability, guidance, and support, it becomes possible. 

4. Self-Importance & playing the victim is a problem.

“I’m not playing the victim, I just complain sometimes. If people would just act right…”

But here’s the truth: if you complain about traffic, coworkers, family, or politics, you are playing the victim. Why? Because you’re expecting the world to go the way you want it to. That’s not strength—it’s selfishness disguised as frustration.

These habits—self-importance and victimhood—are forms of narcissism. They’re at the root of our spiritual struggles and addiction. When life is all about “me,” whether through inflated ego or constant complaints, we lose connection to others and the Sacred. This self-centered mindset traps us in isolation and fuels unhappiness.

How Narcissism Fuels Addiction

Addiction thrives when we focus only on ourselves. People with inflated egos may use substances to maintain their image or escape feelings of inadequacy. Those stuck in victimhood often turn to addiction as a way to cope with life’s challenges. Both attitudes keep us from taking responsibility and finding real solutions.

Why This Hurts Society

This “me first” attitude isn’t just a personal problem—it’s tearing society apart. When we’re all focused on our own grievances, it’s hard to connect with others or build community. The result? More loneliness, more addiction, and more spiritual emptiness.

The Antidote: Service and Gratitude

The way out is simple but powerful: care for others. Acts of service and daily gratitude can shift your focus from what you don’t have to what you can give. Helping others creates connection, purpose, and fulfillment—the keys to lasting recovery and a better life.

When you let go of self-importance and stop playing the victim, you open the door to real healing. Recovery becomes a path to reconnect with yourself, others, and the Sacred, creating a life full of purpose and joy.

5. There is REAL POWER in prayer & meditation.

It’s a proactive, empowering journey of healing and self-discovery. While we may be powerless over people, places, and things, our spiritual connection empowers us. We may control nothing, but we influence everything. Let’s choose to have a positive influence.

What Makes This Approach Different?

My approach to recovery will attune your senses to the Sacred, where real power resides. Together, we learn to let go and allow the Universe/God/Source to create the change. The wisdom traditions guide us along the way.

We don’t change; we get changed.

We don’t heal; we get healed. I will help you grasp this subtle yet profound idea.

Most recovery programs and coaching rely on the same mainstream treatments that often emphasize discipline and control, sometimes evoking shame—an approach that seems at odds with the medical disease model of addiction.

So which is it: is addiction a disease, or do we just need more discipline?

You’re told that you’re powerless, that you must conform to a rigid set of steps, and that healing only comes after hitting rock bottom. But recovery isn’t about punishment.

It’s about healing, empowerment, and the integration of all aspects of yourself, including those you may have rejected or suppressed.

And here’s the key difference in this approach:

  1. Put simply, you’ll walk away with clear marching orders—actions to take. We focus on making things happen, not just indulging in mental or emotional ‘check-ins.’
  2. You’ll never leave our sessions empty-handed. Every session delivers dynamic breakthroughs, because otherwise, what’s the point?

Here’s what makes this approach truly unique:

  1. Clarity, Not Shame: Instead of shaming you, we focus on helping you see your strengths, struggles, and what drives you. Real recovery starts with humility—accepting our limits and leaning on a higher power for support and healing.

  2. Facing Your Shadow: Addiction often hides pain or unresolved issues. Using Carl Jung’s idea of shadow work, we’ll explore the parts of yourself you’ve avoided, turning that trapped energy into personal growth and inner peace.

  3. Connection, Not Isolation: Addiction isolates; recovery connects. By reconnecting with yourself, others, and the Sacred, you’ll find the wholeness and strength to break free.

Wisdom Traditions & Adjacent Wisdom

After 20 years in recovery, I’ve learned that traditional methods don’t always address the deeper issues behind addiction. That’s why this approach blends ancient spiritual practices, modern science, and deeper insights I call Adjacent Wisdom.

From mindfulness and Stoicism to shamanism, Jungian psychology, and energy work, this holistic method looks beyond just quitting. It’s about transforming your mind, body, and spirit. By exploring meditation, subconscious healing, and balancing your energy, you’ll uncover the root causes of addiction and nurture every part of yourself.

Recovery isn’t about rigid rules—it’s a personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and reconnecting with your true self. Let’s redefine what recovery can be and build a life that celebrates your wholeness.

Client Testimonial

“Before working with Chris, my relationships were strained and I’d nearly lost my job due to erratic behavior. Within three months of his coaching, I restored trust at work and rebuilt open communication with my spouse. I’m now 8 months sober, sleeping better, and my weekly anxiety attacks have dropped to virtually zero.”

Discover Your Unique Recovery Path

Shadow Work Mastery

My recovery approach centers on the Jungian Shadow because it:

  1. Houses repressed guilt, shame, and emotions we haven’t allowed ourselves to feel. Also known as the painbody.
  2. Fuels much self-sabotage, driven by unconscious motivations and neglected needs.
  3. Offers unique lessons by revealing blind spots, uncovering hidden gifts, and guiding deeper self-awareness.
  4. Is a powerful reservoir of unconscious energy—when integrated, it enriches our sense of wholeness.

In my coaching, we turn inward to illuminate the unspoken guilt and potential within your shadow. Guided by Jung’s wisdom, each session deepens self-awareness, unleashes new energy, and fosters true integration. This work transcends habit-breaking, fueling genuine transformation so you can step fully into your most empowered, authentic self.

The Hero’s Journey

Recovery isn’t a punishment—it’s a heroic journey. It’s every bit as epic as Star Wars.

Addiction thrives in chaos, but recovery flourishes in order. The same chaos that fuels addiction creates disorganized habits and impulsive behavior. The solution to this chaos is structure—the kind that restores clarity, stability, and meaning to life. Recovery requires discipline, but it’s not the cold, rigid discipline of punishment. Instead, it’s a life-giving practice that brings freedom through clarity and purpose.

As Jung believed, life’s greatest challenges serve as invitations for transformation, and addiction is no different. It presents both a crisis and an opportunity. The chaos of addiction may feel overwhelming, but it is the very soil from which new order can grow. This reflects the individuation process, where we confront the light and shadow within us to achieve true inner harmony.

Yet, the hero’s journey is also one of humility. True strength lies not in self-sufficiency, but in the recognition that we are guided by a power/force greater than ourselves (the Sacred). It is through this connection that we find the wisdom and strength to face our struggles.

Recovery Rituals

These practices cultivate a powerful frequency that generates momentum, fostering stability and unwavering strength:

  • Prayer to start & finish your day
  • Meditation to activate your spiritual guidance system
  • Earthing (and nature bathing) to restore harmony
  • Move your body for energy and mood
  • Journaling to learn how you think (free therapist)
  • Reading to sharpen your mind & creativity
  • New & Fun challenges to build confidence & elevate frequency
  • Gratitude to extinguish negative energy that drains

Without structure, it’s easy to get trapped in the cycle of chaos, constantly reacting to cravings, emotions, and circumstances. But by creating order—through meaningful rituals—you can replace the destructive habits and rebuild your life.

Addiction thrives in chaos. Recovery calms the chaos.

These 8 recovery rituals provide the daily structure you need to restore balance and discipline. For those ready to take an even deeper dive, my signature Hell’s Basement Ritual offers a powerful exploration of pain, fear, and the subconscious blocks that hold us back.

Hell’s Basement Ritual

Confronting the Abyss, Rewriting Your Story

The notion of “hitting rock bottom” can be misleading. It implies a single, dramatic low point that instantly sparks transformation. In reality, many people never find a neat, well-defined bottom. Instead, we often slide further and further into our personal hells, each shaped by our own fears, losses, and regrets.

My signature Hell’s Basement Ritual is designed to help you acknowledge and work through, that darkness. It’s a systematic way to engage with your subconscious, challenge the old narratives keeping you stuck, and open a path toward lasting change. In other words, it’s about meeting yourself where you truly are—no matter how deep that place may be—and learning to climb out, step by step.

Why This Approach Matters

Relapse often comes from the part of you that still believes substances offer something good: relief, pleasure, a sense of escape. Even when consequences pile up and logic tells you otherwise, that instinctive pull remains. To move forward, you must gently but firmly dismantle those beliefs. You must face the raw truth.

Think of the mind as an old record player: the grooves of addiction’s stories run deep. Changing the music requires wearing down those grooves and carving new ones. Research suggests that disrupting well-worn habits takes consistent effort over about 60 to 90 days (Lally et al., 2009). The Hell’s Basement Ritual provides the structure for this slow, steady rewiring.

The Ritual: 90 Days of Focused Inner Work

Over three months, you’ll confront your pain and fears and envision different futures. By revisiting these steps repeatedly, you challenge your old narratives. Gradually, a new story can emerge—one rooted in truth and authentic hope.

  1. Unearthing the Pain
    Write, in vivid detail, about the deepest wounds caused by your substance use. Be completely honest. What have you lost? Who have you hurt? This is uncomfortable, but honesty is the key to awakening.
  2. A Glimpse of Freedom
    Now imagine your life 20 years from now if you find your way out. Who might you become? What new relationships, goals, and joys replace the emptiness? Shine a light on what recovery could bring back to you.
  3. Facing the Resistance
    Explore your fears about quitting. What are you reluctant to let go of? How does substance use still seem to help—even if it’s just an illusion? Naming these fears brings them into the open, where they lose some of their power.
  4. Confronting the Abyss
    Finally, imagine your life 20 years down the road if you keep using. Describe that personal hell in full color. What’s the cost, and who do you lose along the way? Witnessing this bleak future clarifies the urgent need for change.

Why Repetition? Why This Method?

Most traditional treatments guide you through similar exercises just once. But a single pass rarely reforms the subconscious. Each repeated round of the Hell’s Basement Ritual chips away at the old grooves. Gradually, your inner narrative shifts. The more often you “visit” these scenes—both the anguish of your current trajectory and the hope of an alternative future—the more your mind learns that the old story doesn’t have to remain true.

What makes this approach unique is the depth and vividness of the guided meditations that accompany the writing. Over 15 years of teaching mystical meditation, and five years spent studying under a professor with shamanic training, have shown me the power of blending ancient wisdom with modern techniques. By immersing yourself in these sensory-rich experiences, the ritual becomes more than just words on a page. It becomes a felt reality, a lucid reimagining of your life’s path—one that leaves a lasting imprint on your subconscious mind.

Commitment Is Essential

This is not a quick fix. It demands effort and a willingness to face hard truths. If you’re not ready to invest in this process, it may mean you’re not yet ready for the deeper work of recovery. And that’s okay. Acknowledging where you are is itself a form of honesty.

If you are ready—if you’re prepared to examine your pain, question your beliefs, and gently reshape the contours of your inner world—then the Hell’s Basement Ritual can serve as a powerful catalyst. It can help you step out of the abyss and into a future guided by clarity and resilience.

There is a way out of the darkness. It begins here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be working with Chris or someone else?

You’ll work directly with me every step of the way. I’ll personally guide you through the assessments, help you interpret the results, and support you throughout the entire journey. Nothing in this process is outsourced—your privacy and trust are my top priorities.

What are your qualifications and experience?

I’m Chris, and I’m truly glad you’ve found your way here. My life’s work is rooted in a journey of transformation—a climb from the depths of alcoholism, substance abuse, and homelessness to a life guided by purpose, spiritual connection, and resilience. At 25, I took my first steps toward recovery, committing myself to a path that continues to evolve and deepen to this day.

With over 20 years of personal experience navigating and overcoming addiction, I know the darkness that can feel insurmountable. It’s this lived experience that allows me to walk alongside you as a fellow traveler, offering not just understanding but tools and strategies that work in the real world.

My professional journey has been shaped by a deep fascination with human potential that began when I discovered the work of Tony Robbins at just 12 years old. Since then, I’ve explored and integrated insights from mindfulness coaching, business coaching, and now recovery coaching. Academically, I studied Consciousness and Psychology at the University of Michigan, building a foundation that helps me understand the complexities of the human mind and spirit.

Philosophically, my work is inspired by shamanism, stoicism, and modern mysticism. I often think of my advisory panel as including figures like Marcus Aurelius, Carl Jung, and Terence McKenna, whose timeless wisdom informs my approach to recovery. My goal is to help you tap into the Creative Force that flows through all of us, to find meaning, purpose, and clarity in your life.

At the heart of my coaching is a belief in the power of balance: honoring ambition while cultivating gratitude, embracing humility as a strength, and seeking meaning over materialism. My approach values thoughtful honesty, self-respect, and the pursuit of a life deeply rooted in connection—with yourself, others, and the Sacred.

Above all, I bring a spirit of gratitude to my work. The lessons I’ve learned through struggle and triumph are what I now share with you, not as a teacher looking down, but as someone who knows the road and is ready to walk it with you.

What’s included in your program?

Coaching begins with understanding your unique needs and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that includes actionable steps, regular check-ins, and adjustments as needed. You won’t be overwhelmed with homework but there is work to be done; the process is designed to be challenging, supportive, and flexible.

How does this program help?

Most recovery plans aren’t designed for you—they’re designed for someone else. This program gives you a custom plan that works with your unique personality, strengths, and spiritual needs, helping you break free from addiction.

How will my progress be tracked and measured?

Progress is monitored through regular assessments and feedback during our sessions. We set clear, achievable goals and review them periodically to ensure you’re moving forward in your recovery journey. Adjustments are made as needed to address any emerging challenges or to set new objectives.

How is this different from therapy or sponsorship?

While counseling often centers on diagnosing past traumas and sponsors tend to overlook them entirely, this coaching process strikes a balance: acknowledging trauma and the shadow self while focusing on moving forward. Unlike therapy or sponsorship, recovery coaching emphasizes setting meaningful goals, building healthy habits, and maintaining accountability to take action—empowering you to create a future aligned with your true self and strengths.

Put simply, you’ll walk away with clear marching orders—actions to take. We focus on making things happen, not just indulging in mental or emotional ‘check-ins.’ You’ll never leave our sessions empty-handed. Every session delivers dynamic breakthroughs, because otherwise, what’s the point?

Can this be integrated (therapy/12-step/support groups)?

Absolutely! Recovery coaching is a powerful complement to other forms of treatment like therapy and support groups. While therapy helps address deeper psychological issues and support groups foster communal sharing and connection, my coaching style is centered on direct truth-telling/feedback, simple tasks, and unwavering accountability to help you sustain sobriety through clarity and action. By integrating these approaches, you can create a more well-rounded and effective recovery process. Furthermore, my program in 100% compatible with any religious belief or 12-step program.

How do you ensure confidentiality during coaching?

Confidentiality is paramount in our coaching relationship. All information shared during sessions is kept strictly confidential, adhering to ethical guidelines and legal requirements. This ensures a safe and trusting environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and challenges.

Do you offer any guarantees?

We understand the courage it takes to start your recovery journey. That’s why we offer:

  1. Risk-Free First Session: If the first session doesn’t resonate with you, simply let us know, and we’ll refund your payment—no questions asked.
  2. 21-Day Foundation Commitment: Engage fully in the program for 21 days, and if you don’t see meaningful progress, we’ll review your experience and provide a partial refund for unused sessions.

This ensures you can begin your journey with confidence and peace of mind.

What's your refund policy?

Once you enroll, we reserve all your appointment times on my calendar and secure your access to the necessary assessments. Due to the time and resources invested upfront, we do not offer full refunds for the 4-week program. We can issue you a full credit for a future time or offer 50% back now (this covers our losses).

That said, we understand that life can be unpredictable. If something urgent arises, we’re flexible with rescheduling as long as you provide advance notice.

If you’re purchasing this for someone else, please ensure they are fully ready and committed to the process before enrolling. This will help everyone get the best results from the program.

What if I miss one of my appointments?

Once you’re signed up, we’ll schedule your 4 private sessions at times that work best for you. If something comes up and you can’t make a scheduled appointment, simply let us know at least 24 hours (or one business day) in advance, and we’ll happily reschedule it for you.

In the event of a late cancellation or a no-show, we can still reschedule your session, though an additional session fee will apply.

Can I apply for a loved one?

Yes, you can fill out the application either for yourself or for a loved one.

However, before you submit the application, I recommend having your loved one watch a few of my videos. This will give them a better sense of my coaching style and help determine if we’re the right fit. It’s essential that they feel comfortable and engaged in the process, as this can significantly enhance the success of the coaching.

You can select a couple of videos from my YouTube channel that you think would resonate with them.

Client Testimonial

“Working with Chris over the past 90 days significantly cut down my cravings and lifted my mood. I’ve reconnected with my daughter after years of distance, and by sticking to the daily rituals he suggested, I’m consistently more focused at work. In fact, my productivity increased so much that I earned a promotion—something I directly credit to the clear mind and renewed strength this program helped me achieve.”
