FREEDOM from addiction IS POSSIBLE
Are you looking for new tools to integrate into your current sobriety path?
Is there a part of your program that feels undiscovered around your unique needs and desires?
What if there were another perspective?
Sometimes working with someone who will meet you where you are can be incredibly helpful.
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. My name is David Wichman, and I am an author, speaker, and certified Conscious Recovery™ coach.
In the beginning of my recovery journey, I engaged in the 12-step program and still attend a variety of meetings. I appreciate the recovery process from a broad perspective. I also recognize there are multiple paths to freedom from addiction. My preferred approach to recovery right now leans heavily toward any program that emphasizes the importance of eliminating the shame, stigma and dogma we witness in many spaces where new people come seeking sobriety.
I believe in meeting people from where they are today not where I hope they will be in the future. That said I also love helping identify and map out a trajectory that brings about a sense of purpose. Earning my Conscious Recovery coaching certification has deepened my understanding and enhanced my ability to foster meaningful relationships with those I work with.
I am the proud author of the award-winning book "Every Grain of Sand," where I detail my personal journey to healing and moving beyond the belief in my brokenness. My hope is by me leveraging my perspective and insights, I can assist those struggling with substance use in reclaiming their power and authenticity. I love writing and creating and I am incredibly passionate about creating change in the world. I look forward to joining you on your journey.
Together we explore and learn to:
Bring shame into the light as an empowering tool towards freedom, without having to re-open the wound over and over again.
Learn to witness the parts of yourself that you may have exiled, shut down, or stuffed away.
Overcome obstacles or challenges that have been holding you back and blocking you from truly being who you are.
Explore living beyond the beliefs and ideas that keep reminding us of not-enoughness and return to a sense of well-being.
Have valuable tools to trace the root causes beneath the behaviors and obstacles that keep you stuck.
Unlearn core false beliefs and ideas passed down to you about yourself, and your desires.
Integrate and witness all of our emotions and learn to navigate our judgements beyond the ideas of good, bad, right and wrong.
This is the work I love to do. Much of what I share in my practice comes from my personal experiences and many years of working with men in and out of recovery. I also draw inspiration from the groundbreaking book, "Conscious Recovery"™ by TJ Woodword. If you're ready to explore and make empowering changes in your life and journey towards essential wholeness, I invite you to join me.
Let's navigate the root causes of shame-based imprints and apply practical guidance towards shifting the narrative from brokenness to remembering your wholeness.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”― Rumi
"After struggling for a long time to achieve sobriety, I still felt broken, even years into recovery. I believed there was an emptiness within me that needed constant fixing. But when I discovered the Conscious Recovery Method™, I realized that this emptiness was an invitation, not a flaw. I stopped trying to fix something that wasn't broken and focused on unlearning old ideas that held me back. This shift allowed me to witness new layers in my sober experiences, not just for myself, but also for those I worked with."
