And here’s the best part - by following the 10 guiding principles that got them back on track, you can find the path that puts you back in charge of your own happiness, too.
You are invited to join this extraordinary journey to help you unlock whatever emotional baggage holding you back from the happiness of your heart’s desire. We are so glad you’re here!
Your partners in happiness, Lori & Nia
Lori & Nia were…
…”pretty on a shelf and put together” on the outside – but crumbling on the inside – Lori began revealing the details of her kind of addiction with longtime friend Nia Carmody. Almost immediately, the friends realized just how much they had in common. Their friendship soared to a whole new level as they dared to share past pain, and as they did, they began learning how to transcend resentments, the number one contributor to any kind of addiction. Yes, it took some time to complete the process, but when they did, the results were amazing. Lori and Nia were able to reclaim their happiness. Follow along their journey so you can learn the 9 progressions that teach you how to take charge of your own happiness and leave resentments behind!
You’ll read the nitty-gritty details of what leads to the emotional addictions of admiration, appeasement, people-pleasing, and many other codependent behaviors that are coping mechanisms to change the way we feel. After all, that’s how addiction works. We want to numb our pain by applying something from the outside that we hope will change the way we feel, at least temporarily. But there’s a healthy, happy, permanent solution, and we want to share it with you.
Join us for the emotional sobriety journey leading to true inner peace.
Our book release is pending, but we’d like to keep you in the loop on taking charge of your own happiness –starting now!
How emotional sobriety all begins.
When enough desperation summons enough courage, and an addict enters a recovery meeting for the first time, they are often greeted with a half-filled cup of coffee. Half-filled, because unsteady hands, trembling from withdrawal, may experience coffee sloshing over the rim.
The first sip is often a gentle slurp—not out of disregard for manners, but to avoid burning the tongue. We believe that first little slurp marks the beginning of something remarkable: a gateway to healing.
Emotional intoxication may not cause a trembling of the hands, but it certainly causes a trembling of the heart. When happiness is tethered to people and things outside oneself, another kind of desperation sets in—one that breeds resentment and loneliness, the common threads in all forms of addiction.
Sometimes the consequences of addiction become so grave that the addict is willing to try anything to change. This is known as the "gift of desperation"—a powerful catalyst leading to utter transformation.
Our slogan “slurp that coffee” honors the extraordinary gift that often begins with a gentle slurp of coffee from trembling hands and heart. Welcome to the journey of emotional recovery.
