A few important things. First, this program provides different & holistic perspectives on addiction. These time-proven ways of breaking patterns can ‘fill-in-the-blanks’ of whatever you’re doing now.

Second, it keeps you involved between sessions. You’ll have extra support and as much engagement as you want through the exercises and the material that is offered.

Third, you can do the journeys, the shamanic writing and any of the other exercises with your therapist during a session. These holistic methods deliver a synergy that make the end-product more powerful than the sum of its parts.

This program is not taken from, related to or based upon AA in any way. That said, it brings insight to anyone - whether or not you are working the Steps and whether it’s on your own, or with your sponsor, or in a study group.

Wonderful! This program is perfect for aftercare. It allows you to build upon what you’ve already accomplished in treatment. And bring it to the rest of the house to discuss with your house-mates, as the exchange of ideas can be awesome.

We’ve all been there! That’s why there’s the saying, “One day at a time” and this Program does not push you to “achieve” anything you’re not ready for and is designed for you to go at your own pace and only bite off as much as you can handle. Videos are generally about 7 minutes long. Exercises are about 15. That’s it. Resources - and recovery can, and at points should be, fun. Start here…

Absolutely not. This medicine is founded upon the principles of science and nature As a mater of fact, the work is designed to strengthen - and make practical - whatever spiritual connections you currently have.

There’s two ways of taking the Journeys: spiritual or psychological. Either way, you get the information you need and can apply it however best fits into your recovery.

Personally, I embrace the Spiritual. But I also need them to be practical. That’s why these Journeys will yield results either way.

Three main points:

1. It honors the fact that you are unique and will have your own specific issues that need to be addressed. At the same time, there are universal laws that apply to everyone regardless of who you are, where you come from and what your addiction is. Alchemist Recovery acknowledges, and embraces, this paradox to deliver the medicine that is right for you.

2. We follow 3 simple principles with each having their own clear, plain- English model that walks you step-by-step from point A to point B, and then all the way to your success at point Z. The work is evident; it’s all laid out before you.

3. It integrates with other therapies. This also means it works with whatever belief system you already have; there is nothing for you to change - except the old, outdated models of protection that perpetuated your addiction.

Finding connections to others is one of the most important aspects of recovery. And this program opens doors to all different kinds of healthy paths. We explore how others have made these part of their recovery Medicine: movement, travel, ancestry, writing, volunteering, food, teaching, podcasts, books, online groups, ..and so much more. You’ll find something, and some others, that will be right for you.

Each of the 52 Lessons has an accompanying Journey that reveals specific information as it relates to the material for that week. This can be viewed through the lens of the psychedelic experience or visa-versa, in that the psychedelic experience can be used as a starting point for the Journey.

The work of Principle 1 is all about defining exactly what you mean by the words, terms and concepts around this loaded subject. We eliminate any and all confusion, release the baggage, and get on the same page to tackle the problems that you have - regardless of labels and free from rigid rules.
