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

We expect one thing and have to accept what we get. If I wish for a corvette and get a jackass, ride the jackass.

FRIENDSHIP.

Posted by: drbutkins in gratitudefamily recoverydrugsalcohol on

WE ARE CAPABLE OF HAVING AND VALUING THUS WHEN SOBER.  A LUNCH WITH OLD FRIENDS HEALS THE SOUL!

LOVE AND PEACE,

DOC PETE, THE IMPERFECT THERAPIST

NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL FOR YOU TODAY.


Avoid ignoring your discipline, your learning, your development, your Program maintainance when helping others.  We have spent much time before with denial, blame and simply being "other-focused".  Avoid this in sobriety.  Remember that we are in need of help at all times.  We are still the patients.  Never rise above that.

love and Peace, Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist

P.S. Do not drink or drug today.


After we have seen the hell of "using," we can see the joy of sobriety.  We no longer yearn for the insanity.  We are more than glad to be away from the madness of drugs and alcohol.  We yearn for treatment.

Love and peac,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist


Many times, in recovery, we try to control things that make little difference to us.  We think that we need to take care of many things that either do not matter or that we cannot control.  We can usually control only parts of self.  My belief is that any control I have is because a Creator has given me life.  This belief is what begins our sober and clean journey from drugs and alcohol.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist


Gratitude expands!

Posted by: drbutkins in gratitudedrugsalcohol on

When we think of and acknowledge our 'gifts', we can then see many other 'gifts'.  It's a matter of thinking positively and realistically.

Love and peace,

Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist

Oh yeah, no drugs or alcohol today.


Good recovery.

Newsletter

Posted by: drbutkins in sobergratitude on

I hope you get the newsletter that I sent out this week.  It's the first and the feedback from "y'all" was great.  I'm encouraged to continue it and look forward to writing.  Have a safe and happy holiday.

Love and peace,

Docpete, the imperfect therapist

P.S. Have a sober day.


This is much easier after we work the steps. We can then empty much of our negativity and bask in gratitude and contentment.  Continued bliss can be attained by working with others.

This way we don't drink, drug or deceive.

Love and peace,

Docpete, the imperfect therapist
