You’re not a bad person or alone, you’re
an alcoholic. Welcome to the club.
Anyone reading this is almost certainly experiencing significant pain and disruption in their life – or is looking for means to help someone close who is suffering. So I’ll forego the usual explanations of addiction and the emotional, physical and financial costs. At some level you’ve determined change is necessary and probably long overdue.
My approach is based on what is going to work for the individual and what, ultimately, they want in their life. I do not adhere to any particular theory or treatment model and reject outright the belief that an addict is “helpless”. Quite the opposite.
If you want to change your life, I can help you - that is essentially all that is required. If you are serious about getting sober I will do everything within my power to help you. You don’t have to live this way. You control your own destiny - you just need some help shifting through the clutter in your head and getting on with the business of living free.
I don’t really care why you drink – I’m here to help you to stop.
Lets get connected

Victories
“You are my personal life-saver Big Guy… You never wavered in your belief that I could get clean – you just would not take “no” for an answer. .. called me on all my bullsh*t and gave me a kick when I needed it but you never made me feel like the loser everyone told me I was. Love you.”
“Wow, where to begin – what can I say to someone who literally talked me off the ledge? I was actually planning how to end it all when you came into my life. Bruce, you are my savior, my champion and confidant… my gentle, caring giant. God bless you.”
“A MASSIVE human with an even bigger heart…Listen to him if you know what’s good for you.”
“I know you give me all the credit but I could not have done this without you. I tried quitting many times for many years… You cleared my mind of all the clutter and made me see what is truly important. I am forever grateful.”
“Best coach I’ve ever had. You saved my career, my family, my life… Your words motivate me every day”
“Bruce made me feel safe, which I had not felt around men for many years. Almost immediately I was opening up and pouring out a lifetime of hurt and shame, which he received with care and respect – then he turned it all around, just like that. Amazing, amazing experience…”
“For 24 years my drinking was the elephant in the room. Well, you’re a 300 pound gorilla that bounced that elephant out the door within minutes of meeting you. You made me laugh, you got me clean and now I’m whole.”

My name is Bruce
A devout drinker for over 30 years, I fell (literally) into an intervention 17 years ago which resulted in my attending a residential treatment facility for 50 days. I like playing rugby, cutting down trees and helping people cut through the crap, get authentic and tap into their inner bad-ass.
My approach reflects what I’ve experienced in my own recovery and in the many alcoholics I’ve collaborated with over the years. It’s pretty straightforward: (i) Establish that there is a problem and commit to change (ii) Identify what is not working in your life and replace that with positive things that bring you happiness (iii) Put plan into action and work that plan hard. Every day.
If I’m selling anything, it’s freedom. Sobriety is simply a pre-requisite.
I believe
Sobriety begins with being honest with yourself, then those around you in an expanding circle until you are dealing only in truth and integrity.
I feel strongly that everyone is responsible for their choices, that you are not powerless or hopeless. Absolute accountability is a bed rock of sobriety, it empowers the person to take control of their life and lose the self-victimizing posture so prevalent in addictive behaviour. I believe in the power of laughter, of positive action and living in the moment. And I believe in you, regardless of what you’ve done or whether or not you believe in yourself.
