Re-Imagination, Re-Discovery &
Re-Creation of Oneself
Moving Beyond My Addictions
My name is Alan Frank and I was living a lie. Outwardly I projected happiness, success, and accomplishment. Underneath, the real me was disappearing behind substance abuse and compulsive sexual behaviour. I pursued image, career, money, sex, acceptance, and control. What I got was shame, hopelessness, denial, and despair. In 2016, I made an attempt on my own life. A family intervention encouraged me to face the truth of what this was and empowered me to make the decision to get help.
Today, I have rediscovered the real me, reimagined a new way of life, and re-created what I bring to the world. I have observed so many others face similar struggles. Today I bring a desire and a passion to help others heal and thrive.
To do so, I draw upon my training as a Certified Recovery Coach, but, even more importantly, from my own experiences. I am able to offer understanding and support, free from judgment.

How Can a Recovery Coach Help with Addictive Behaviours?
As a recovery coach, I recognize that YOU are the expert in your own life and recovery.
Together, we will use the recovery capital model, identifying and maximizing your strengths, recognizing your barriers, and empowering you in your journey to sustainable, long-term recovery.
As a coach, I recognize that recovery from substance use and addictive behaviours is non-linear and messy. It requires deep honesty, truth telling, truth seeking, and commitment. It can be lonely. Some days seem impossible, while on other days everything clicks.
I will walk beside you in this journey fostering trust, connection and hope, as you move toward becoming your own agent of change.
How can a recovery coach and recovery capital empower me in my quest for a better life?

Addictive behaviours can manifest in many ways. Substance use, alcohol, sexual compulsivity, technology, gambling, and shopping are just a few examples.

I am about building a supportive relationship with you based on trust, openness and honesty. I will help you harness motivation, overcome barriers and co-create goals to effect change.
