Victory, Coaching 2 Overcome

As a recovered person I look back and realize that through the years I had this feeling of emptiness. A persistent loneliness, I would be in a crowd of people partying or hanging with my friends and still had this sense of being alone! I would think to myself is this what life is all about? What am I doing, where am I going?

I remember one summer Friday evening I was out with my best friend and our girlfriends. We were heading to the club to party. I had recently been arrested and when I was bailed out the judge said to me, "Mr. Callahan, you have a problem and it is not ice cream, you need to get your life in Order!" I laid my head on the back seat headrest and stared to the sky. My girlfriend said to me, what is wrong? I remember saying out loud for the first time ever; I think I am an alcoholic!

The three of them began to laugh and John spoke up and said, are you kidding me? You can't be an alcoholic, because I am not an alcoholic and I drink more than you! It did not take much for me to believe him, I said lets stop at 7-11 and pick up an 8-pack of Bud!

That was 1980, and it did not end there. I had always been a happy kid. I was a bit of a jokester I loved to have fun. But the next 8 years were anything but! That feeling of hopelessness never went away. If you were with me, it seemed like I was having fun and enjoying life. But deep inside of me was a yearning to be more, to do more.

I tried therapy, psychiatrists, psychologists, church, AA, education, and more but nothing seemed to work. In therapy we explored my childhood, the psychologist had me labeled ADD with Dystymia, The psychiatrist upgraded me to depression and put me on medications, I had no idea which way to turn.

Then I finally surrendered. I recovered from drug and alcohol abuse. But, the feelings of loneliness and inadequacy remained. I went to therapy as suggested. Took my meds as suggested. Went to church, support group, got a sponsor, and remained hell bent on overcoming this sense of "poor me".

We are all a sum total of our beliefs and our experiences. I bought in to the dysfunctional syndrome. I sought out the child within, delved deep into my childhood history. Yet, only the surface level stuff changed.

Then I started to think differently, I returned to college. My studies taught me to challenge everything. Be open to new ideas and theories. I worked in the human service field with adolescents. I began to make a difference in their lives.

But then it happened, I received a sales brochure in the mail for a program called "Lead the Field" an enrichment program by Earl Nightingale on the work "The Strangest Secret" an accounting and guide to implement The Law of Attraction.

It was like night and day, a spark went off and I began to live my life differently. The video attached is a program offering you or someone you may know "The Key" to implementing radical positive change in their life. A proven system that starts from where you are focuses on your strengths and guides you in your thinking, choices and direction for abundant life.
