EPISODE 23: How to Say Goodbye to Your Addiction, with Dan Caldwell LCDC

What if instead of saying “Goodbye” to our past addictions, we said “Hello” to our new and healthy lifestyle? When we shift our narrative from focusing on addiction to embracing a clean and sober lifestyle, we give ourselves permission to grow.

This week, we are talking with Dan Caldwell, LCDC, about the power of Positive Psychology and how we can rewire our thoughts behind Addiction Recovery. 

Dan holds a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling and is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor– Certified Clinical Supervisor (LCDC -CCS), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and a Nationally Certified Intervention Professional (NCIP) that has worked in the field of addiction recovery for a decade with much of that time spent at a treatment center in Houston. Dan has extensive experience working with individuals and families who have difficulties with substance use, and other behavioral and relationship matters. 

In this episode, we discuss how to protect the needs and interests of the family while helping those in addiction recovery. As Dan shares with us the power of Positive Psychology, we learn how to rewire our thoughts by focusing on gratitude. When it comes to Addiction Recovery, it’s important to remember that there is no “Us vs. Them” as a strong community that serves both the individual and their healthy lifestyle. 

Listen in as Dan provides a safe, nonjudgmental space for individuals and their families to begin their unique pathway to recovery!

About Positive Recovery Centers

Positive Recovery Centers is a strengths-based addiction treatment program with locations across Texas. We offer a full continuum of care, from medical detox to sober living all supported by an ever-growing alumni community network. 

Our evidence-based curriculum blends the best of the old with the new, all supporting our mission: that Recovery is best pursued when meaningful, intentional positive habits are formed through empowerment and resilience instead of negativity and shame.  

What is Positive Recovery?
Empathy and compassion drive our mission. Positive Recovery uses strengths as a pathway to help others flourish in recovery, at work, and at home. This is our core purpose, our “why.” We creatively apply science in order to improve outcomes. Positive Recovery is not wishful thinking, it is not a magic pill, and it is not self-help. 

Positive Recovery is an evidence-based addiction curriculum that links the best of the old with the new, integrating existing effective approaches to treatment with interventions that enhance well-being by cultivating its components: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement.
