READ THESE PERSONAL TESTIMONIES FROM DR. BUTKINS' CLIENTS

"Dr. Butkins played an integral part in my recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. He provided me with knowledge about the disease of addiction and taught me how to overcome the triggers that would lead me to go out and use or drink. Dr. Butkins is a very knowledgeable, respectable, and professional counselor. He truly cares for his clients and you can tell from the minute you first meet him that he is a man who has genuine concern for the addict and is willing to do what it takes to help you. I am forever grateful to Dr. Butkins for teaching and giving me the tools necessary to maintain my recovery from alcohol and substance abuse."  John - Orlando, FL  January 2009

“I met Dr. Butkins when I went to a counseling session with my alcoholic husband about 2.5 years ago. He is a highly skilled professional and is very knowledgeable on the disease of alcoholism and its affect upon the families of alcoholics. When we met, I was sick with worry and fear, angry, and unhappy. Living each day in fear of what awful thing would happen next, both my mental and physical health were beginning to suffer. When my husband went off to a rehabilitation center, I continued to see Dr. Butkins. As he challenged my thinking and attitudes and encouraged me to recognize and deal with my feelings, my mind began to open and allow me to look at life situations and the disease of alcoholism in ways that would never have occurred to me on my own. He sent me to Al-Anon where I found other people affected by a loved one’s alcoholism that were working the 12 Steps and willing to help me in my recovery. Today, there is less worry and fear in my life and more serenity. I know that Dr. Butkins’ skill, wisdom, and compassion guided me to this better way of living. I will be forever grateful.” Karen, Lake Mary, Florida


"Dr. Pete probably saved my life 7 months ago when I came to him in October, 2005. He has a great talent in evaluating problems and making you aware of them. He has helped me turn my life around and helped me see things about myself that I have been able to work on; he also helped me help others. It is the best money I have spent in many years. Thank you for being there for me." Richard A. March, 2006

"Dr. Butkins has been treating me since I was in middle school; later on at 19, (he helped me again) I had to see someone I felt comfortable with. He talks to me like a friend, not a doctor. I choose him over any other (counselor) because I look forward to seeing him; he’s just like one of my own friends. He’s very real, but not in your face;he doesn’t sugarcoat, but he’s very understanding and kind. He will help you make progress through anything and leave you feeling better than when you came in."
Jerry K. April 2006

"Dr. Butkins is the best thing that ever happened to me. I would have been dead a long time ago if it were not for him. I drank way too much and wanted to die. He has brought me through a lot; because of him I can handle anything and I love myself today." Janie D. April, 2006

"Dr. Peter Butkins has provided much needed support and direction during emotional turmoil in my life."
Ken H. - Longwood, FL April, 2006

"Dr. Butkins is an amazing guy. He has helped me so very much. When I first came to him I was ready to give up on life. With his help and guidance I pulled myself up. I’m now accepting a full paid scholarship to Stetson. Dr. Butkins saved my life. Thanks for everything." Ann A. - Orlando, FL April, 2006

Dr. Petes' Words of Wisdom

Tag >> addiction

Make sure to differentiate between addiction/dependence and abuse.  Most adolescents try or experiment.  More than three times using  is not experimenting.  There is also an abusive stage that is not addiction.  Make sure you know how to distinguish this.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist


When the feelings are buried and the basic instincts are untreated, the addict is toxic to self and others.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist


Once the spiritual aspect of being sober is intact, the physical and emotional sides have a chance to recover.  Watch what you eat.  The body is the temple of the Lord's.  Practice responsibility to your body.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist


This is necessary if recovery is to be taken seriously.  If you have a problem with addiction, you are going to want to know about it.  See if you can quit.  See if you can stop and then see if you crave (think about or yearn for).   Treatment comes after surrender.

It is unimaginable to most addicts to undergo the ego, pride, vanity deflation that is necessary to recover.  Most go down under the illusion that they need no help and can do well on their self-sufficiency.  God sends us people.  We must listen.

Maybe.  However, do you like pounding a square peg into a round hole everyday?

Love and Peace,

Addiction has no conscience.

 


This also means to stop doing what doesn't work.  This pertains to a hard addiction or an addiction to another person.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist


The addiction, use and abuse, obsession with continued drugs and alcohol never gets better.  When you use and have negative results, have problems with usuing and do not enjoy it, get out.  Any attempt at using from this point on results in failure.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist
