Adam Williams is a coach, counsellor and advisor to many people who have hit rock bottom or are at the brink of losing everything. Adam is refreshingly transparent and has as many ’haters’ as ’lovers’. Walking the ’dark side’ of therapy, he treads where the ignorant fear to. He is a master of his craft because he has been there, done it, survived it, relapsed, did it again and upon eventually succeeding in sobriety, shared his story.
If I hadn’t have trodden the wrong path I did, I wouldn’t be excellent at stopping others make those mistakes! I have skeletons of drastic proportions in my very deep closet, just like a lot of human beings that make mistakes! However, don’t let any of that nonsense take you away from the fact that I have a system that works to get people who are at the end of their life...LIVE!!”
He has written and had published, two books shown on the opposite page and is “I’ve had to survive the understandable currently working on the very much ignorance of internet trolls, re-educating anticipated; “The Adam Plan” mini-course. people in society who have no clue as to Adam says; “I wrote ‘The Adam Plan’ after why people do what they do because it’s all writing a draft for a new book which was they know! I attracted many types of more autobiographical, called; ‘Re-creating teacher. Adam’. I had seen on the news that in my
“...I didn’t know you could go deeper village, a driver—high on cocaine—mounted than rock bottom...but I did and rock the pavement at 120mph and killed two young lads outright. I was shocked but also bottom was bliss...” quickly saw the urgent need for an easily
accessible system that works to cure addiction. A number of years ago, that could have been me. So I decided to make the book less about myself and focused it’s attention on trying to help the targeted readership instead. The world would be a better place for it!” Adam, 47, up until nearly a decade ago, was himself a serious addict, alcoholic and subsequently ended up mentally unwell with what they call BPD’s. He had spent some time in Prison, due to addiction and the criminal activity that occurs due to ‘it’, only to live on the streets for two years, upon his release, trying to make a small business work, however, it just couldn’t due to various conflicts. “I don’t blame them, I have learned to embrace them. They know not what they do, so I forgive them as I do anyone who wants to have a ‘go’ at me. I used to let guilt get to me until one person in particular, hacked and chased my family down, caused me to have a breakdown, however, I learned that he was also a teacher. Now, on this ‘journey’, this system and plan...forgiveness is ESSENTIAL! You cannot expect to be forgiven for your sins if you’re not willing to forgive other people that have sinned against you.” “I had a 15(ish) year, daily habit and ritual of committing crime and buying drugs. and trying to escape the guilt and responsibility, before ‘waking up’ one day!” Adam continues.

Without this
network, things may progress to the deepest dependence, as Adam calls it, ‘The Bottom of the Pit’. There are many types of addict, yet most addicts, including Adam at one point of his life, will, do or did experience a personality disorder or have a psychotic episode at some point and for varying lengths of time.
when you are in this type of place, the thinking becomes more repetitive. I always thought, ‘what’s the meaning of life?’ and then one day, I had an epiphany that told me the answer.

Here are four small favours that those who don't hate themselves can do for those of us who do. When two people with low self-esteem are together, many things are mutually, intuitively understood, even if we've never openly discussed our self-esteem. For instance, if anything goes even slightly wrong, we both know we're instantly, viciously blaming ourselves. And we'll probably try to soothe each other — because, sensing our shared insecurities, we want to ease each other's pain: Admittedly, this is partly because we each think we deserve to suffer most, but partly also because we are uniquely hyper-aware of pain.
And we who tend to hate ourselves will help each other out with tiny, mutually understood favors such as not asking Why do you always order the same ice-cream flavor? or offering reality checks such as This lesson is really confusing or The server with the ponytail seems mean. But when we are with people who don't hate themselves, we do things they don't understand. This is because we think and feel things they don't.
Those of us who are on the healing path know what a long, hard, landmine-larded road it is. So while we're on it, here are four small favors that those who don't hate themselves can do for us. I'm not asking you to work magic or act like saints. Nor am I asking you to be our therapists — unless by chance you are, and that's your job, for which we're paying you. I know we can be
big pains in the butt. But bit by bit we can refusing to let us talk ourselves out of get better — with your help. another good thing, take us there. SO…..
1. Forgive us. Not for having low selfesteem, which is no more our fault than having freckles or asthma, but for all those countless things we're constantly apologizing about. Reflexive apology — bleating I'm sorry! as often as other people blink — is yet another side effect of self-loathing, because some of us were told too often and/or too terrifyingly that every bad thing from earthquakes to spilled milk to Mommy's illness was our fault. Now we apologize when rain falls on parades or strangers trample on our toes. When you hear us do this, tell us "No problem" or "That's OK" or even "It's not your fault."
3. Choose for us. Harsh and heartless as this sounds, every now and then we need you to just make certain simple decisions for us — which sweater to wear, which sandwich to order — and be done with it. That's because being asked to choose from a range of options, especially in public or when our choice might affect others, triggers some of us into mute paralysis. That's because we were told somewhere back there that we always spoiled everything, that we were stupid, selfish or incompetent. Our actions were constantly questioned, penalized or mocked. So now, asked to choose between egg salad and pastrami, we panic: not just because thanks to our past history we are afraid to choose but also because we are so ashamed of being seen this way, appearing (we think) infantile and helpless. Yes, we need to learn decision-making skills: at least, at first, in private and alone. Until then, lend us some relief: Either flat-out decide for us or gently help us choose.
2. Take us where we need to go. Most of us with low self-esteem have at least one activity, location, situation, person or object that makes us hate ourselves less. Setting aside perilous options such as self-harm, anorexia or drugs, which "raise" our self-esteem synthetically and/or addictively, does playing music make us feel more powerful? Are we fully relaxed in 4. Tell us that everything will be OK, forests, doing math, and/or around our because we strongly suspect it will not. cousin Ed? We might be right. But so might you. If you can find out without feeling (or being) intrusive — because, hey, we have boundary issues — ask us what Thank you for listening, a reader’s these things might be and why. Then, article.
Relationships are hard. Romance fades, our best friends drive us crazy, and families (the holidays may especially remind us) are minefields just ready to go off over a late night game of Scrabble. Most of us are lucky enough to be free to leave these relationships: we can move away from home, let friendships fade, and get divorces. That freedom is wonderful and important, but it also means that we can avoid some of the most rewarding experiences of long-term relationships that survive our worst selves. Fortunately (and painfully), we are all born in to one relationship that we can never get away from, no matter how we try: our relationship with ourselves.
The choices we make about how we treat our bodies, what we do with our time, how we talk to ourselves, and who we spend time with matter—a lot. The world is a difficult place to live in, and sometimes the things we do to feel better in the moment—eat, drink, have sex, binge Netflix—can have longer term consequences when we stop using them for pleasure and start using them to escape our inner world. It’s natural to want to escape ourselves from time to time, and we all do it. Sometimes we do need to take a quick break from the voices in our heads. There’s nothing wrong with that—until we go past the point of pleasure and into numbness. This can work for a
while, but a joylessly numb life can get pretty boring, and even if the mind can take it, the body will often rebel against its neglect after a while.
okay. Part of the practice is forgiving ourselves and being gentle when we falter. The best thing we can do is start somewhere.
I am sometimes grateful and sometimes really annoyed that I have a very sensitive physical body. If I don’t eat well, sleep enough, or give myself time to process difficult emotions, my body will find some way to let me know. I tried to drink and party my way through a major breakup once, and got slammed with a three-week flu with nothing to do but feel my feelings. Later, I was overdoing it at work, anxiously avoiding any quiet time by myself, and I got strep throat. Three times. The fourth time I tried to do that my back went out. I can lie well enough to my mind, at least for a while, but my body doesn’t tend to let me get away with it for very long. Pain is an excellent teacher because it forces us to change something.
So we acknowledge the pain. We let ourselves feel it. We explore its edges and see if it can teach us what needs to change. We can make small choices that are genuinely kind—not momentarily relieving, but genuinely loving— for our bodies, our minds, or our relationships. And when we don’t, when we slip back to our comforting escapes, we forgive ourselves and try again tomorrow.
So we have a choice: do the work of being in a loving, healthy, committed relationship with ourselves or suffer the rest of our lives with an internal roommate we hate. A lot of people choose the second option—it’s unquestionably easier. But over time, the body or the mind can rebel against its mistreatment and try to start to force us to work on this relationship. Either way, leaving isn’t an option.
It’s certainly not always easy to choose to turn love, presence, and compassion towards our own selves. But when we choose the path of loving commitment and turn it inwards, we end up meeting the truest, most lasting love of our lives.
We teach people how to firstly coach themselves to be a success and then to be a qualified ‘Community Coach’, our Team also host courses in Mindfulness which helps us understand ourselves Self-love isn't a given, it’s a practice. and then others.

I am always so surprised at how prevalent drugs are in the yoga and meditation world because many great teachers including Yogi Bhajan (Kundalini Yoga), Swami Satchidananda (Integral Yoga), and the Dalai Lama (Buddhism) prescribe a completely drugfree lifestyle for practitioners.
myself through the use of an outside substance. As you look at your jar of nutmeg with new fascination, let me share with you this sense of self in the nutmeg high was short lived—as I believe it is with all drugs. Feeling the intense effect of the nutmeg on my kidneys, I dropped it after only a few experiences.
I have grown up in a Kundalini yoga and Sikh lifestyle free of drugs for the most part. As a teenager, I did experiment with the use of nutmeg, which can give you quite a high in large quantities. Half a nut did the job for me. I share this with you so that you can know that I have been there—longing to just laugh and be
As I entered into early adulthood I found that I could process stress and find a source of inner strength and calm from my meditation practice. So, if we were friends sitting down having a conversation about this and you were into having a beer after a stressful day at work to wind down, I could tell you that
with a few meditation tools under your belt you could save a whole bunch of money because you wouldn't need your beer anymore. However, I would at this point have to complete the story, because this is only a part of it. Without the use of drugs, the meditation experience is by far much deeper. To reach a deep state of meditation requires going through the channels of the self. It requires passing through the sensations of pain, anguish and desperation. To ignore these sensations would not take you to the vital interior of your being. To have successfully passed through them, in a conscious meditative practice between you and God, is the sweetest victory and sensation I have ever known. But it's not just the pain that one has to pass through. It is also that we must be in a state of complete perception. To feel
the air, to hear the sounds around us, to know and sense what is about to unfold, is all a part of meditation. Drugs of any form not only alter but also dampen our senses. It's like walking around with a pillowcase over your head—sleepy to the reality of life. Sure, who needs reality anyway, right? That is certainly an approach that is quite tempting to take. However, I am with the Buddha on this one. Take me in, let me go through the pain, in my own real self way, so that I can be the kind and beautiful person that I am, and live a life not only of no regrets, but one of service, love and joy. Yes, joy! Because that is by far my favourite sensation of a drug-free meditation. A contributed article. Thanks
• Do you suffer from excess weight, joint pain, headaches, acne, food allergies, depression, insomnia, fatigue? If so, your body is probably out of balance and has a toxic overload. Your weight gain and belly fat can be linked to toxins in your liver. The liver has two important functions. It not only detoxifies your blood, but also METABOLIZES fat. When the liver becomes overworked and fatty, we begin gaining weight and experience other health issues. When your body is stressed, these stored toxins are released from fat cells which can lead to cellular damage and more toxins that your liver will not able to process. Toxins can also be stored in brain tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and even in cellular membranes. Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton states that the root cause of all weight gain is directly related to our own natural weight control system being overloaded and poisoned with toxic chemicals that we come in contact through our skin care, food, cleaning products and general environment. In her book, The DETOX Diet –Eliminate Chemical Calories and Enhance Your Natural Slimming System, Dr Baillie-Hamilton writes about the link between the current fat epidemic and toxic synthetic chemicals. It is important to know that toxins clog up your liver,thus preventing it from BURNING FAT. Detoxification is a healthy and natural way to help your body get rid of harmful toxins.When your body eliminates harmful toxins, the fat that is stored to help protect your body will also be eliminated.

The Incredible Benefit of Can a Chiropractor in Chiropractic Care for Allergy Peterborough help Treat Sufferers Allergies? 2017 is finally starting to draw to a close. As such, hay fever sufferers all across the UK can breathe a sigh of relief that summer is once again all but a memory. Did you know, however, that over 21 million people in the UK suffer from allergies? What is more, winter for people with animal, food, and even dust mite allergies, is far from a 4-5month reprieve from itching, sneezing, and general discomfort.
As unlikely as it might sound at first, chiropractic care may to help people better manage many common allergies. In fact, in a 2004 study into the effects of chiropractic care on asthma and other allergies by the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, 82% of chronic dermatitis sufferers experienced a significant reduction in skin itching and scratching after chiropractic treatment.
Of course, a chiropractor in Peterborough is certainly not able to help treat conditions such as potentially life-threatening nut allergies. If, however, you are burdened by animal allergies or common skin complaints such as dermatitis, chiropractic care might be able to help.

According to an April 2017 Wired magazine article, a staggering 1 in 4 people in the UK will be diagnosed as suffering from mental illness at some point. What is worse, rising incidences of mental illness in Peterborough itself, are why Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust teamed up with Mind in 2016, in order to create an emergency mental health sanctuary in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area.
Curing Chronic Pain to Cure Poor Mental Health Problems As noted by several medical and psychiatric studies, people who suffer from chronic physical pain, poor mobility, and chronic physical discomfort, will often also experience depression and anxiety. This being the case, if you do suffer depression as a result of chronic back pain, it is only natural that a chiropractor in Peterborough might be able to help. The benefits, however, of chiropractic care approaches when it comes to mental health problems, go beyond just benefits associated with the relief of chronic musculoskeletal discomfort.
Of course, most people are aware that mental health problems are on the rise in the UK.

What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is a word that you might have heard but what is it exactly? Well Mindfulness is a connected and natural way of being which is accessible to everyone, regardless of their faith or cultural background. It involves paying attention to our present moment experience with an attitude of openness, kindness and acceptance and meeting our experience whatever it is in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. Being mindful is that feeling when your body and mind come together in a moment of clarity and focus. Giving you a sense of completeness and being connected in a more meaningful way to yourself and the world around you. Mindful presence will have been felt by
all of us at some point: perhaps whilst walking in a place of natural beauty, being completely immersed in a hobby, favourite sport or past time, in emotionally engaging moments with a loved one, or at the birth of a child. These are the times when we fully appreciate our present moment experience, and all our senses are engaged in what is happening, while it is happening. Often in our day to day existence, we can easily lose touch with the ability to simply “be�, and find ourselves scattered, frantically multitasking to get things done, and trapped in ruminative cycles of thought about the past or worries about the future. Whilst distracted and caught up in our thoughts we are missing out on what is happening right in front of our eyes. Which might be a beautiful moment
that we miss.

Advice from our Nutritionist and Life Coach, Pip Fairhall... There are many aspects of life that effect our health, but one of the main areas, is what we eat. There is a popular saying “You are what you eat” but more correctly, it should be “You are what you are able to digest”. The human body has to be fuelled by a variety of good quality natural whole foods and hydrated with clean filtered water to be able to absorb all the necessary nutrients to be healthy.
linking it to many chronic diseases, like cancer, heart disease and diabetes. But you cannot open a newspaper or go online and not be inundated with the latest ‘research’ extolling the virtues of the newest health food craze which is going to make you look younger, feel fitter, be thinner and generally be more attractive. It is big business. Last year the market value of health and wellness in the UK was worth over 22 billion pounds. An increase of over nearly 3 billion pounds since 2012!
But why are we getting fatter and Sadly this is not the case in the suffering from more fatal illnesses than ever before? We know what we have majority of the modern world. to do, just eat healthy food, right? A diet of high sugar processed junk food is responsible for not only the But it’s not that simple. pandemic of obesity in the world today but there is more scientific evidence, Food manufacturers spend as many
billions of pounds on research to create the most appealing and addictive foods. The ideal food is a combination of fat and sugar. The human desire for foods containing fat and sugar starts very young, as these are the main components of breast milk!
But sugar is now being seen as the number one enemy due to the negative effects it has on the whole human body. But it is also the hardest to give up. Sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine and it is in everything. We all know about pasta sauces containing 3 or more teaspoons of sugar per serving, but there is even more sugar in wholemeal bread than in its white counterpart and it’s supposed to be healthier for us! “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
But it is not all doom and gloom, as in the field of nutritional therapy we are learning all the time about why we desire certain foods and more importantly, how to manage our cravings and give us back control to manage our eating habits and be healthy.
