What others have to say about having a Recovery Coach in NYC:

Where does my authority to coach you come from?

I’m Johnny. I’m a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, Peer Advocate, and CASAC-II in NY State.

Not only do I coach clients and work with patients in traditional substance use treatment facilities, but I also train coaches and clinicians to serve others in the addiction recovery industry.

I’ve learned a great deal about addiction, getting up, dusting myself off, and climbing back into a life of recovery. I use my experience, strength and hope to guide you along your path in recovery.

I believe in a holistic approach to addiction. I use an approach that involves strengthening the body through exercise and nutrition, the mind through reading and learning, and the soul by helping others find their own personal spiritual path of enlightenment.

Lastly, I would like to say that I am glad you are taking the step to changing the person heroin or other drugs have shaped 

You don’t have to remain in a self-made hell.

There are choices and right now you are taking the first step towards spiritual and mental freedom from the chains of addiction.   

I know you don’t wake up in the morning and choose to knock-off a liquor store, rob and old man at the ATM, or lie to your family and friends.

It’s a dangerous cycle of chemical dependence, stuck in a risk then reward loop, and overcoming past traumatic events.

You might be thinking – “This all sounds great Johnny, but what do you know about how I feel?

You need life experience?”

Life Experience Homeless, Alone, Hungry, and Cold

5 overdoses, abuse, homeless on the streets, in squats, on both coasts, prisoner, college graduate, tattoo artist, punk rock musician.

​Abuse and dependence on narcotics, alcohol and other drugs are on the rise.

Heroin-related deaths in the USA are reaching shocking levels.

The disease of addiction/substance abuse dependence does not discriminate.

Unfortunately, anyone can be diagnosed with this disease, at any age, and from any social class, ethnicity, and profession.  

All a person needs to do is open the door and let the demon addiction inside to take all life.

I hope that these stories will help people in the clutches of addiction or stop someone from ever reaching for a hit of whatever it is that will stop the hurt.

I honestly feel in my heart that we need love and support and I aim to give this to all people caught in the throes of addiction.

Yes, some are sicker than others! I remember this and continually treat individuals without borders, discrimination, or fear. I have heard it all and quite frankly seen more! 

You deserve love. Sometimes you have to peel away more layers to find beauty, but seeking the beauty is always worth it. Beauty can always be found. 

Homeless, Alone, Hungry, and Cold: Street Junky

This is an excerpt from my memoir soon to be published about my time on the streets and the rise from the chains. 

The nightmare begins, “A moment alone in the darkness with the demon withdrawal or is he an angel in disguise?

My blood pressure begins to elevate, her claws twisting and contorting my spine, sinking deeper, legs kicking, eyes so sensitive to light, bile working its way out of my stomach into my throat, it burns, the constant jackhammer hammering’ the fuck out of my brain,

I pound my head against the wall, a small relief each time my brain bounces of my skull, the pain ebbs for a minute, freezing then sweating then freezing again, and every inch of my wretched body screaming to fed, cured, and fixed once again.

Life has become a constant struggle to keep the forces of withdrawal, of dope-sickness, of endless pain and hunger away. To me being dope-sick is the worse feeling in the world.

My body screams and writhes in pain as it waits impatiently to be led from the tortures of this inescapable hell. The agony gnaws and pulls.

The body knows that the slightest push of the plunger and all the agonizing nightmares of this self-made prison can be washed away like the last traces of winter are erased from the landscape with an incessant thunder-storm of early spring.

Heroin, my confidant, friend, my darkest lover I have opened my heart and soul for your embrace.

Heroin, my darkest lover.

Heroin, my cruelest jailer! Within these pages you’ll find a boy raped of childhood, running from the truth, running from myself, running from friends and family, sometimes running from the devil herself.

No one ever really knowing what’s hiding inside intricately woven facades. I’m constantly reshaping my fears and failures into powerful allies.

Needless to say I know a little bit about living with a heroin use disorder

If I were given the chance to take it all back, I wouldn’t do it any differently.

My life was hard, tough, sometimes pathetic, and this is what shaped this man.

I enjoy the life I have and look forward to the journey’s next path.

This is what I hope to plant in each troubled soul I work with, a sense of peace, an idea of self-esteem worth change, and serenity of mind, body, and soul.

And this is why an Arise Recovery Coach in NYC will be a vital tool to you reaching building a path to fulfillment in recovery.

I’ve found my path in recovery and I follow that path daily.

I want you to create the life of your dreams without the obsession to use heroin and other opiate drugs.

Recovery Coach in NYC Testimonials

Working with Me a Recovery Coach in NYC

I believe you can have the life of your dreams, one full of love, confidence, and freedom from the obsession to use heroin.  When you pursue this life, you have a positive effect on the community you live in.

It takes support, accountability, and empowerment to succeed. Johann Hari has coined the phrase, “Addiction is the opposite of connection.” Building connections and healthy relationships at home, work, school, and the community. Acceptance and belonging create a sense of structure, security, and comfort.

When working with me all I ask is that you keep an open mind, self-awareness, and the readiness to take action. Arise Recovery Services is driven by helping you heal the relationships your heroin use disorder has broken. I advocate for you. I help you build self-awareness, confidence, and esteem.

Here’s how it works:

• During your first call or meeting, you and I will decide if I’m a proper fit for one another. I will then ask you to complete a personal assessment so that you and I can both get a clear picture of what heroin or other opiates have done to your life and what you want to get out of recovery.
• You and I will meet again via phone, video chat, or in-person to discuss how we can work together to meet your goals and expectations.
• Once you decide to work with me you will set your goals and the actions you will make to achieve fulfillment in a life free from heroin.
• Once you and I have a plan we will meet regularly to implement and achieve your highest potential in a lifestyle of recovery.
