Compassionate Recovery Project

A guided path through the three layers of recovery.

Getting control of addiction can bring relief and stability.

But stability is not the same as freedom.

If addiction was helping manage shame, fear, anxiety, loneliness, emotional overwhelm, self-rejection, or disconnection, those deeper patterns may still shape your life after the addictive pattern has changed.

The Compassionate Recovery Project was created for people who are ready to explore that deeper work.

An Online Course with Optional Cohort Support

The Compassionate Recovery Project is an online course with optional cohort support.

The course is the main path. It guides participants through 27 modules organized across 9 Recovery Movements. The work is self-paced, but participants are encouraged to move at about one module per week so they have time to complete the Home Practices and integrate each module before continuing.

Participants in the online course also have access to weekly Q&A calls.

For those who want additional structure, connection, and support applying the work to their lived recovery experience, cohort support is available.

Optional Cohort Support

Cohorts provide additional guided support for participants who want more structure, connection, and help applying the work. At launch, there will be two cohorts, one on Tuesdays, and one on Wednesdays.

What This Is

• An online course with optional cohort support

• A structured recovery-focused learning and practice experience

• A supplement to therapy, treatment, meetings, coaching, IFS-informed work, and other recovery supports

• A way to move toward a Fulfilling and Intentional Life that is True to who you are - a FIT Life.

What This Is Not

• Not therapy or mental health treatment

• Not crisis support

• Not a replacement for therapy or treatment

Something is Missing from Recovery

The Compassionate Recovery Project is for people who recognize that addiction has been creating problems and have been addressing those problems for one year or more.

The addiction may involve a substance, a behavior, a compulsive pattern, or another form of self-management. You may or may not have stopped the addictive substance, behavior, or pattern.

This work may be a fit if what you have experienced so far in recovery feels incomplete. You may have more stability than you once had, but still feel caught in vigilance, shame, anxiety, self-management, emotional pressure, or patterns that keep life smaller than you hoped.

The Compassionate Recovery Project is for people who are ready to explore what addiction helped manage and begin moving toward a FIT Life: a life that is Fulfilling, Intentional, and True to who they are.

This is for you if you are in recovery but sense that something is missing.

An Honest Word Before You Join

The Compassionate Recovery Project is not for people who are in acute crisis or need detox, residential treatment, or a higher level of care. It is not therapy, mental health treatment, detox, residential care, or crisis support.

It is also not a fit for people who are unable to participate in the course, Q&As, cohorts, or coaching-style instruction without being actively under the influence of addictive substances. You do not have to be completely abstinent to participate. You do need to be willing and able to engage the work when you can be present, attentive, and not actively under the influence of addictive substances.

This work also requires self-reflection. If you are not willing to look honestly and compassionately at your own inner experience, this is probably not the right time for this program.

What Compassionate Recovery Project

Participants Are Saying

“After nine years of continuous sobriety, I was still noticing a need for deeper insight into my human condition. CRP helped me see that my drinking had been a solution to an inner conflict that still needed attention after sobriety. Through practical exercises in awareness, I began tracking capacity, noticing activation, and seeing patterns more clearly. I found it to be exactly what I was looking for — something that helped fulfill a lack in my recovery and gave me deeper insight into myself.”

— Dan J.

“Before Compassionate Recovery Project, I was working on slowing down my reaction time and developing fuller self-awareness. The peer support and practical focus on my reaction process helped me become more aware of what happens when I am activated. What changed for me was my ability to set my own emotional pace, regardless of the fast pace I live in. I now make more choices based on my energy levels and awareness.”

— David K.

“Before Compassionate Recovery Project, I found myself in a lull in my sobriety. Outwardly, my life was full of blessings, and resisting drugs and alcohol was no longer an issue. But inside, I felt stagnant, stifled, and even suppressed. Compassionate Recovery Project helped me separate the voices in my head from the real Me and take real pauses to understand the reasons behind my thoughts and behavior. I’m kinder to myself now, more forgiving of others, and more connected to who I am at my core.”

— Jeremy W.

“Before Compassionate Recovery Project, I was sober but struggling with feelings that something was missing or incomplete. I still had unresolved emotional pain and a lack of understanding about why I felt the way I did. Learning about my capacity to deal with life and its problems on any given day was incredibly helpful. Becoming conscious of my capacity allowed me to set boundaries for myself, monitor my emotional wellbeing, and respond to situations with more awareness and compassion.”

— Richie B.

“When Bill invited me to be a part of his pilot program for his Compassionate Recovery support group. I said yes without hesitation; knowing what Bill has been up to for years and having heard such great reviews, it was a no-brainer. He’s lived up to the good word of mouth and the group is an essential part of my continued journey of personal growth and recovery today. Groups are well managed, facilitated and I always feel at home with Bill and the other participants. It’s a safe productive and grounded place for doing the big work that’s required for rising up. I highly recommend it.” — AJ
