Recovery Goals: Healthy & Happy

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’ve been thinking a lot about recovery from an addiction to alcohol or other substances. I’m a Specialist Addictions Nurse and author of The Alcohol Therapy Workbook.

For someone with an addiction professionals often ask them about their goals in relation to recovery. It’s an important question: What are your goals in relation to your drinking and/or substance use?

Afterall, everybody’s definition of addiction recovery is as unique as they are. Asking clients this question and developing a care plan that works towards these goals is at the heart of every treatment system.

But what I’ve been pondering lately is what about the professional’s goals? Are we open and upfront about our goals for the client with the client and their relatives?

We know that professional’s goals maybe influenced by many things including: the ethos of the organisation they work for, their individual values, their feelings about what would be in the best interests of the client, etc.

It got me thinking about my recovery goals for the clients that I work with. I have two goals when working with clients: To make them healthy and happy. These goals are no mean feat.

On first impression these goals don’t seem SMART. But when you explore what both health and happiness mean to the client and how they would like to live their life, they do break down into measurable SMART goals.

If you’ve got an addiction to alcohol or other substances, contact your GP or local community Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service for support.

My Best Wishes,

Antony

Unsure which of my fabulous books to buy? Here is a one sentence summary and review of each:

Mental Health Wisdom – Contains everything someone needs to know about mental health and mental illness. Learn more here. A review:

This is a perfect starting point for anyone that wants to get clued up on mental health. It goes through the many different mental health illnesses, symptoms and has so much invaluable knowledge and wisdom embedded in it. It then goes on to list some tips on how to manage and look after your mental health and well-being. 5 Stars

SpellCast – A comprehensive compendium of spells, oils, charms and talismans. Learn more here. A review:

Love this book – its very profound and down-to-earth at the same time, and explains it really well. Every spell is tried and tested – some are instant and others more elaborate. Tried the instant car parking spell and it worked – wunderbar, as they’ve all got three cars around here. Highly recommended!! 5 Stars

The Alcohol Therapy Workbook – A workbook designed for anyone that is struggling with alcohol or has struggled with alcohol in the past. Learn more here. A review:

The book is fantastic for anyone who has a problem with alcohol. It is written in a style which is easy to understand and is set out in a fantastic chronological order. The value of the author with extensive experience of working in a hospital environment helps an individual to deal with any challenges that they may face when trying to make changes and or stop using alcohol. If you are unsure where to start this book will set you on the right track. This is one of the best self help books I have ever read. It makes a treatment journey seem more achievable. This can be used in conjunction with any other treatment programme to help support change. 5 Stars

My Royal Navy Friend – Contains 52 emails sent to my friend Roy who enlisted in the Royal Navy; these emails are funny and interesting. Learn more here. A review:

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the concept of email exchanges as a layout for a book. The list of jokes especially made me laugh. A really interesting concept that’s fun to read and a rare book that you can read multiple times and still find enjoyment. 5 Stars
