WHO YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH

Hi, I'm Trevor, from Toronto.

I spent 33 years in active addiction, and getting out meant disciplining my mind and swallowing my pride. I graduated from U of T at 42 and got sober just before I turned 45. My path to sobriety has been anything but conventional. Many people turn to 12-step programs, rehab or medical treatment, and for many they work. But treatment ends. Cravings, triggers and old routines don’t. That’s where most people fall back, and that’s where I come in.

​

Staying sober isn't simple. For me it's an ongoing daily ritual: researching recovery, learning new ideas, and drawing inspiration from people who have overcome all kinds of challenges, not just addiction. There's a greater reward in the pursuit of change, and I'm here to share it with you. We'll build recovery into your daily life with the hope that you'll welcome it. Eat, drink, read, write, listen, talk and train recovery every day.

​

I spent over 30 years in casinos and gambling establishments, and addictive behaviour has been at the core of my life. I've learned that training your mind is mandatory, because the triggers for gambling, alcohol and drugs aren't going anywhere. Together we'll build mental toughness, cognitive flexibility and a path toward meaningful rewards. That gives you a real chance against the self-deceptive, self-destructive behaviour that addiction breeds.

​

That's why I built Sober Maintenance, private addiction recovery coaching in Toronto and the GTA. It brings together the tools, knowledge and practices I've gathered over the years, across many disciplines and hundreds of recovery stories, for people who are motivated for change. You bring the motivation; I'll bring the direction and guidance. Let's do this together.
