From Cocaine Benders to a Quadruple Bypass.

How one CEO beat his addiction to cocaine and alcohol, reclaimed his integrity and rebuilt his life and happiness in 60 days.

My first contact with Micheal was a distraught call from his wife. She was angry, stressed out and didn't know what to do with her husband, who was out of control and couldn't stop.

The following conversation I had was with Michael himself. He was using an eight ball a day and drinking excessively, and he was jeopardising a multi-million dollar business settlement as well as his marriage.  

The one thing I vividly remember about Michael was that he was quick to action and deeply understood the cost of inaction. He knew he had to stop, that rehab was not an option, and that after a couple of calls with me, I was the right person to help him. He signed his service agreement and paid the $45,000 program fee. The next day, he started The Delta Path™ program.

Michael and I focused on three essential leavers during his 8 weeks in The Delta Path ™ 

1. Emotional Regulation. Michael was tired, burnt out, and struggled to regulate his emotional state. His constant drug use had him up and down like a yo-yo, and his behaviour was erratic, inconsistent and a little unreliable. Through our daily phone check-ins and weekly coaching, we were able to help Michael open up about his thoughts, feelings, triggers and past, which enabled me to build a bespoke plan for him to tackle his specific issues. 

He learned to manage his state and, after a two-week period, started to feel more balanced, in control, and in his natural energy. He built a meditation practice and also found journaling really helped him.

2. Communication. Michael was shut down. He had had his head down for the last 25 years building an empire and had become disconnected from his internal self and ability to communicate with his loved ones. We took a pragmatic approach and got him to show up for himself and his family as a first step. This presence and connection then allowed him to work on communicating with his wife and kids. Particularly around his needs, wants and plans for his family's future. 

3. Reconnection. Michael is a heavy hitter, but his behaviour left him feeling guilty, pretty ashamed, and disconnected from who he knew he was and what he stood for as a man, husband, father, and leader. I helped Michael Level Up by setting his values in stone and creating more adaptability in his mindset. He also worked through a reconciliation process with his wife, which is ongoing through counselling and other support.  

His success in the program was even more miraculous, considering that after our executive health checks and work with his doctors, he discovered that three arteries to his heart were blocked and required an immediate quadruple bypass. This was a wake-up call for him and solidified his decision to stay on the path to health, happiness and a new identity. 

Today, he is back in the driver's seat, optimising his health, life, business, and relationships. Michael has rebuilt his identity and is deeply connected to what is essential in his life. He has made plans for his family's future, is connected, and genuinely enjoys the fruits of his labour. Michael continues to work with me in The Success Cycle™, a program designed specifically for high performers to focus on life, relationships, and future potential after they have broken the cycle of drugs and alcohol. 

The Delta Path ™ is the modern standard for personalised addiction recovery. If you're already motivated, self-aware, and can remember what it feels like to get results in your personal and professional life, I would love to help you reconnect to that potential. 

You can get the results without violating your privacy or having to deal with the embarrassment and challenges of being in rehab. 

The Delta Path ™ is by application only and is limited to 10 annual seats. If you have read this and are ready to return to the driver's seat of life, you can book a 30-minute consultation with me using the link below. 

We will meet privately via Zoom and work through a short interview so I  can better understand your current situation, readiness for change, and suitability for the program. 

The session will be casual and informative, treating you with the highest care and dignity. I also ask that you afford me the same respect and ensure you attend the consultation once booked. I'm excited to meet you and see how he can help you achieve your brilliant, drug-free life.
