S5E3: How AA Saved My Life & SMART Gave Me My Life Back!

S5E3:  This episode of the Red Roof Recovery show was recorded during the pandemic, when Tanya talks about her drug and alcohol addictions, her experience in a treatment facility in Spain, her subsequent 8 years of relapsing in 12-step programs, and her SMART discovery of cognitive therapy that was the game changer.

Tanya MacIntyre is a former broadcast journalist who packed up negative news for positive media. In 2018, she decided to start speaking and writing publicly about her challenges to overcome drug & alcohol addictions.

Tanya is passionate about positive media, and encourages everyone to:  
"Take the diet that really works... a media fast. Don't watch, read, or listen to news and feel how much your life improves!"

Her professional focus is healing trauma and addictions. As a CBT Consultant (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), she devotes herself to training, writing, and mentoring. 

Tanya lives on the West Coast of Ontario with her husband, Lance, where they run an addiction-recovery business. In her leisure, she likes spending time in nature, riding her bike, and volunteering with mental-health and recovery groups. To learn more about Tanya and her work, visit RedRoofRecovery

*************************************

It was always a dream to find something we could do together as a business, and the pandemic pivot allowed that to happen!

Lance lived with me through my drug and alcohol addictions for more than 20 years.  Lance now brings his lived experience to our livelihood, to help the family members who want to help their loved one overcome addiction.

We've created programs that are based on our successful lived experience to navigate this lived experience of addiction.  We can help you and your loved ones navigate life to a full recovery so you can thrive in sobriety and life.

Our goal is to treat the root cause of addiction (or any mental health condition), so you won't need a lifetime of therapy.
