The following is a step-by-step path for getting started in a Health-Based Recovery.

Step One: Choose a Recovery Path

One of the first decisions you will make in a health-based recovery is whether you will be attempting this year-long recovery process by yourself or with professional help. Each option can lead you to health--though some come with much greater risk. Take a minute to explore the differences:

Self-Help Path (Free)
All of the tools you will need to successfully navigate your recovery from addiction to health are here--free. In a self-help recovery, you gain access to all of the workshop lessons as well as access to the community forums for feedback and questions. This path requires that you have adequate organizational and time management skills. It may be free, but this is a comprehensive workshop that requires a significant investment of your time and energy. click for more information

• Comprehensive Recovery Workshop
• Recovery Forum (for community-based feedback)
• Recovery Checklist
• Recovery Manager

Note: To supplement your self-help approach, CoachJon's Audio Coaching Series is available for $99 click for more information. This is completely optional.

In addition to gaining full access to the workshop lessons and community forums, you also gain private access to a restricted forum for more personalized attention in your lesson responses. Additionally, you gain access to the following recovery tools:

• Comprehensive Recovery Workshop
• Recovery Forum (for community-based feedback)
• Private Forum (for personalized development/feedback)
• Recovery Checklist
• Recovery Manager

  A database-driven online checklist that allows you to track your progress throughout recovery--from addiction to health. Updated to model the new recovery workshop, it provides those who are unable to timely complete all lessons/tasks the ability to ensure that all lessons/tasks are eventually completed. A must in a health-based recovery.

• My Recovery Manager

• Health Monitoring

  An evolution of the skills learned in the workshop, health monitoring is used to assist you in generating temporary focus and awareness when needed; and to combat complacency and relapse on an ongoing basis.

• He Danced Alone: Inside the Heart and Mind of the Sex/Love Addict

  The autobiography of Jonathan Marsh, written to educate those with little experience in the sex/love addictions as to just how severe these patterns can become; and for those with severe addictions to the reality that no one is beyond help. That what they are experiencing is a logical pattern (involving illogical behavior), it is not a fate.
