Empowering Lasting Recovery
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. Intoxication is essentially borrowing happiness from the future. My vision is not only for the client’s rehabilitation, but for them to achieve a full and positive life afterward—one in which they no longer feel the need for intoxication. James Clear says “all change is an identity shift”, and thus I specialise in a transformative process known as identity shifting.

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. As Tony Robbins famously says, ‘If you’re not growing, you’re dying.’ Sure enough, I kept failing at the things that truly mattered—until I turned it all around through the power of self-development. Just as our mindset is shaped by experience, it can also be reshaped. That’s the foundation of my five-step philosophy: positivity, discipline, service, ambition, and persistence.
Unlike the traditional 12-step program, my approach focuses on achieving lifelong transformation. My mission is to help recovering addicts build an empowering sense of identity—one strong enough to overcome whatever life throws at them. I founded Lifelong Positivity with the conviction that if self-development could help me break free from addiction and discover who I truly am, it can do the same for others.
Unless we reprogram our unconscious patterns, we’re bound to repeat the same destructive cycles. Negative self-talk, procrastination, self-sabotage, and limiting beliefs work together to keep us stuck—trapped in a cycle of frustration and dissatisfaction that drives us toward escape through intoxication.

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. 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.
Once your identity has shifted, I’ll guide you in forming positive habits across eight key areas of life, while helping you eliminate limiting beliefs and push beyond your comfort zone. By sharing your challenges and life experiences with me, I can help you reframe them in a way that supports your path to recovery—embracing change and releasing 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. Values create purpose, purpose shapes identity, and identity is the foundation for building lasting habits.
In my focused one-on-one sessions, you take will take control of your life using my proven identity-shifting solution. Over the last 12 years, I’ve developed a roadmap for lifelong abstinence, and I’m beyond excited to share it with others. Most rehabilitation programmes focus on the past and present, whereas mine is about energy, growth, and a permanent mindset transformation. Don’t waste any more time—get in touch and let me help you turn your life around for good.
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
