Welcome to the cyber home of Crossroads Coaching, founded by Alida Schuyler to inspire and empower persons in recovery. Recovery = Happiness! Long-term Recovery = Long-term happiness! …Or does it? We survived a living hell of drinking and drugging. Somehow we sobered up, going to meetings and working the steps, or devising some other way to stay clean and sober 24 hours a day 365 days a year, year after year. We’ve become good citizens, helping others, getting and keeping jobs, paying taxes—and now what? For too many of us recovery equals “getting by” or “doing okay” or “it’s a lot better than it was.” We find ourselves asking, "Is this it?" “Is this all there is?" "What about my dreams?” As drunks and addicts we dreamed of castles in the air but rarely followed through. In recovery many of us have built strong and solid foundations but forgotten to put the castle on top. There are steps beyond basic recovery. If you have a strong foundation, you can begin to recognize, focus on, and live your dreams. WHAT ABOUT YOUR DREAMS? What if you could have fun? Lighten up and make more money? What if you could have better relationships? What if you could have the job you want? Build or buy a house, or a farm, or start your own company. Work for yourself. Retire. Go sailing. What is your dream? What if you could have it all? Are there dreams you have given up on? What if you don’t even know what your dreams are? What would it be like to find and live your heart’s dream? How much happiness can you have in your life? Coaching is dedicated to helping you build your dream castle. Through the process of life coaching and dialogue I will help you uncover your dreams if you’ve forgotten them—or discover them if you’ve never known them. We will set a direction and plan for achievement and success. We’ll use what is working well in your life, make sure your foundation is strong, discover where energy is wasted, free it up, and channel it toward building the life you want. Hiring a coach can help you bring your dreams into reality. Hiring a coach who focuses exclusively on coaching alcoholics and addicts means you won’t have to explain why you’re different. Why you can do twenty things really well and get scared at the twenty-first. Supporting you is my mission. The mission of Crossroads Coaching is to provide first-rate coaching that inspires and empowers alcoholics, addicts, and adult children to build joyful and noble lives on the foundation of their recovery.
