Introduction1:51
Welcome to this course! My name is Denise Roberts and I am the owner of Live Rehab. I have created a program called the Sobriety Success Method that helps people kick their addictions from home.
I have a BS in Counseling with an Emphasis in Addiction, Substance Abuse and Chemical Dependency and a MS in Psychology and many years in the mental health and addiction industry.
Part of the Sobriety Success Program is taking good care of your mental health and in order to do that you can should be incorporating mindfulness and meditation into your daily routine. There are many benefits to incorporating this into your program that range from reducing stress and triggers to being able to navigate social situations with more confidence.
If you have any questions about this course, please let me know.
Course Overview12:01
In this lecture, I will go over what the Sobriety Success Method so you can get a better understanding of the program. I will also talk about the benefits of mindfulness in addiction and recovery as well as give you tips on how to get started.

Starting Recovery and Detox20:01
Detox and setting a quit date is how you begin the recovery process. This meditation is designed for those who still need to go through detox or are in the process of detox now.
Healthy Eating24:46
Healthy nutrition in recovery is essential. This meditation helps in changing your thought processes, eliminating junk food and overall healthy eating.
Body Acceptance18:09
Fitness is also a big party of recovery but if you don't love your body, it's going to be hard to incorporate fitness and feel good about it. This meditation helps with self love, body acceptance and overall feeling good in your own skin.
Deep Relaxation and Sleep13:00
Getting the right amount of high quality sleep every night is a challenge, especially in recovery. Meditating before bed can help you get to sleep faster as well as improving your quality of sleep.
For this meditation, imagine taking a walk at night, under moonlight. Be sure you are in your bed, laying down, as comfortable as you can get.
Having a Healthy Lifestyle in Recovery30:13
This meditation encompasses multiple areas: your physical health, your social health and of course self-love.

Self Love15:00
When you are struggling with addiction, it's important to take care of your mental health too. Self-love helps your mental health by brining your attention to your innermost self. This meditation will help you with inner peace and acceptance. When you are at peace you will have the ability to get rid of stressful thoughts and will be more likely to be able to move forward with grace.
Meditation for Anxiety7:45
This short meditation can help calm anxiety. This meditation can be used in a daily practice or as needed and focuses on getting rid of past regrets and not worrying about the future and situations that are beyond your control.
Meditation for Stress20:01
Letting go of stress is important in recovery. Being stress can lead to triggers which could lead to a relapse. Do this meditation anytime you feel stress and need to unwind.

Recognizing the People who Help You15:01
Your social circle is very important. There are people in your life who care about you. Being able to recognize who they are is the first step in being able to repair relationships.
Forgiving Those Who have Wronged You15:01
There are people in your life that have done harm or have wronged you in the past. Holding on to that, does not allow the mind the heal or allow you to really progress in your recovery. This meditation will help you in being able to forgive people or past situations. Letting go so the healing can start.
Repairing Friendships by Showing Empathy16:01
Friendships can be complicated. Part of a good recovery plan is ensuring you are working hard on repairing friendships and to do that, you start with loving yourself and then work on having empathy for those who care about you.
Being a Leader in a Professional Setting and Your Recovery12:01
Navigating professional relationships can be a challenge especially in recovery. Being a strong leader both professionally and in your recovery is something you should be focusing on. This meditation will give you some thought provoking questions that don't need to be answered now. Just relax and enjoy this meditation.

You are Strong!7:01

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this course only for people who struggle with addiction?

A: While this course was primarily written for people who struggle with addiction other people can benefit from taking this course such as substance abuse counselors who want more knowledge and insight on addiction and recovery

Q: How is it possible to recover from an addiction online? Don't I need a 12-step program or in-patient rehab?

A: 12 step programs are outdated and their success rates are shockingly low. Not everyone is cut out for rehab and can just leave their family, friends, kids, pets, work, school, etc. The material in this course will give you a boost so that you can be successful in fighting an addiction, however, you will need to find the motivation within so you can apply the concepts you will learn.

This course includes a series of assignments, quizzes, downloadable resources, external links to certain topics related to addiction and recovery and also links to podcasts.
