From my own depression to my fathers alcoholic addiction that finally took him from this earth,

Been , there, seen it - done it…got the t-shirt!

To cut a long store short-my parents divorced when I was seven my father became more regular in his reliance with alcohol and the monthly ‘benders that lasted just for a day or two became very frequent. Eventually his second marriage ended as he drifted over time into fortnightly 'benders' then permanent dependant on alcohol. He lost his successful business, and drank everyday and lost his house so ended up living in a hostile- drank from brown bags on benches with homeless people... he died from alcohol related complications liver cirrhosis to name a few. He tried many attempts at AA and the 12 step programs over the years and unfortunately did not help for him…

What I learnt from pop stars and celebrities about addictions and their recovery failures…

I was in partnership with my dad at one time after he retired from being a former high ranking police officer. N.B. (The stresse of this job without doubt playing a part of his addictions) This was to become a very successful corporate investigation and security company in the late 1980’s and early 90’s, we specialised in counterfeit merchandise prevention and done a lot of confidential investigative work on behalf of the British music industry governing body i.e. the BPI - British Phonographic Industry in counteracting music and video piracy with numerous major global film corporations.

I came into contact with numerous top well known talent and 'connections' within the music/film industry as part of regular meetings and introductions. At this time I also had a fitness consultancy and was asked to help celebrities prepare for gruelling tours and consult in these areas for them as well. Hence the formation of celebrity health and fitness. This lead to some interesting insights with the stresses and so called ‘coping methods’ they used...

From working with celebrities from all over the world over the years with my consultancy 'Celebrity Health & Fitness' and from feedback from associates also in contact with them…I noticed a common theme: many who had attended addiction recovery centres commented that the treatment and approach had not been successful as they had numerous times over the years relapsed as similar to my own father or simply swapped one addiction for the other. The need to come up with a far better method…

I researched & investigated I spoke with many other addicted folk who had tried similar treatments all over the world. There were some startling revelations that I had to check and recheck and sure enough the failure rate was very high along with addiction councillors who further acknowledged this…Surely there was a much better way"?

Through the years I had found that recent advances in addiction rehab and counselling improved for those who were addictive, as well as those individuals suffering from stress, trauma , depression etc, but that treatment lacked the full release of negative energy, emotion, belief, and desire that is the hallmark of truly successful treatment and why many suffering relapse time and time again, or simply swaping one addiction for another!

It is not our intent here to detract from any good that someone may have experienced by attending or becoming a member of AA. Or celebirty clincs. We are merely presenting our own and others' experience and facts.

When someone says to Craig "it has to be done like this", his first reaction is to ask why. Closely followed by the next question "what happens if . . .?"

"He takes the position that anything is possible, and mostly that becomes true."

For example this has lead Craig and his team to think about what was missing with addiction recovery programs, and what could be made much better, they ask specific questions such as why did many have a high failure rate? What was it about the treatment and approach specifically the ‘common denominators’ if you will, that celebrities who had relapsed...felt and thought was missing from their treatment or could have had a better and different approach in their opinion?

Craig used tools he was learning to turn his own depression around...

He went off on a little mission to talk to as many different people from different healing systems to find out what they do that works so well. Craig was always fascinated by the mind and human potential so had already been studying this extensively (See Craig & personal Bio) using what he had learnt to turn his life around after suffering himself from depression over his now failed marriage and a once thriving business that succumbed to financial ruin through no fault of his own from a number of bad debtors.

This background explains his unlimited ambition to deal with and successfully tackle the misuse and/or addiction problems of others. This has become a true mission, indeed a life goal!

In Craig's own words- "I dreamed of a way that treated all the elements negative emotions, beliefs, desires, fantasies, compulsions, self-esteem, obsessions, addiction, dissociation, psychogenic symptoms and diseases, and spiritual blockage -- in an integrated, organized manner. A transpersonal, mind/body-centered unique process that treats addictions and trauma and its many psychological, physical, intellectual, and spiritual aftereffects".

In short, he saw the outline of what is now known as Neuro Energy Repatterning® (NER ® ) click on text link or see Amazing Energy Healing-on the main menu buttons... After discovering the “missing jigsaw” and consistent key reasons that came up for virtually everyone who relapsed from treatment using the approaches celebrity clinics and many used, ‘light bulbs’ came on. Craig and his team took their many different skills and outstanding results and what it took to be able to condense hours, months, even years of so called ‘traditional addiction therapy’ compress it into the most stunningly effective rapid results addiction lasting recovery with the minimal risk of relapse. Extraordinary rapid results for addiction recovery was born…

Craig was getting more and more impressive lasting results with people suffering from all kinds of addiction and others who helped develop our wonderfully powerful rapid results addiction model.

We called it The Celebrity Resurgence Experience ® - (Resurgence meaning: resurrection or rebirth).

.In short The Celebrity Resurgence Experience® amongst other strategies, deals with those people with addictive behaviours and the hidden core issues and unconscious ‘programs’ that addictions clinics and the celebrity clinics appear not to address and treat…hence we see and hear about so many of the same old celebrity faces returning for similar treatments.

You can read specifically about this in the “overview of addiction programme” section on the menu, a fascinating insight and a lot of AH-HA’s... that has helped those addicted or the people who care about them just by reading this overview & details alone!
