You are going to do something amazing
My mission is to provide tailored coaching for men who are in the later stages of drug addiction; helping them build a foundation for lifelong rehabilitation, renewed purpose, and sustained well-being.
Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are - Soren Kierkegaard
My name’s Neil Collingbourne, and I’m committed to helping addicts turn their lives around for good. Tony Robbins says “you’ll remain stuck in your pain or problem until you value something more than your pain or problem.” To achieve lasting transformation, you must have goals so big and compelling that the old patterns are viewed as mere obstacles to the life you are building.
I struggled with low self-esteem from a very early age, and when I began using drugs at 17, my life quickly spiraled into a blur of partying and hedonism. I thought I was living, but in reality, I was dying. Tony Robbins famously says, “if you’re not growing, you’re dying.” That’s the foundation of my five-step philosophy: positivity, discipline, service, ambition and persistence.
James Clear says “all change is an identity shift”, and thus I specialise in a transformative process known as identity shifting. While the traditional 12-step program is focused on the present, my approach is future-oriented and focused on achieving lifelong abstinence. My mission is to help recovering addicts build an empowering future identity—one strong enough to overcome whatever life throws at them.
The 8 key areas of growth in one’s life are; Mind & Emotions | Contribution | Self-Cultivation | Spirituality | Fun, Family & Friends | Mission and Purpose | Health & Fitness | Money. Just as a bicycle wheel requires even tension to spin truly, if you focus too much on one of these areas while neglecting the others, the integrity of your life as a whole will be adversely affected.
To fully recover from addiction, you must annihilate your limiting beliefs so you can take massive action in each of these areas. I will help you reframe your challenges so you can embrace change and release the habits and thought patterns that once held you back.
Our values and habits are largely shaped by early experiences—most powerfully during the first seven years of life. We tend to cling to these ingrained patterns unless we undergo a radical mindset transformation, ideally with the support of a life coach.
ultimately, there’s one investment that supersedes all others: Invest in yourself. Nobody can take away what you’ve got in yourself, and everybody has potential they haven’t used yet - warren buffett
