My Offerings

R

Conquer Limiting Beliefs

Having a loved one with a Substance Use Disorder is a daily struggle. You can’t help believing that you don’t deserve happiness when they’re killing themselves. You’re lost and feel helpless without any hope for change. You’ve lost the ability to visualize a happy life.

R

Rediscover Healthy Living

You’ve forgotten how to care for yourself, or the value of loving yourself. You no longer give love and commitment like you used to. The other relationships in your life suffer heavily because of this, and you feel your life is a mess you can’t fix.

R

Return to Your Being

You don’t have any clarity over your life, you are consumed by the needs of your loved one. You have no commitments of your own to focus on, leaving you feeling anxious, depressed, and exhausted. Your life is consumed by worry for the addict in your life.

About Me

Hi!

I’m Dana Golden and if you’re here please know I’ve been right where you are.

I have lived on the opposite side of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) for most of my life. Since finding my own recovery, I have turned that situation into a passion for helping people, just like you, navigate loving an addict. When I finally sought help to figure out how I could fix the addict in my life, I soon learned it was me that needed fixing. All my “help” was actually making things worse. I hope that sinks in for you…. All the help you think you're providing your loved one is most likely hurting them and, even worse, hurting you.

I had been bankrupted in body, mind and spirit having lost all hope of ever living a life for myself with joy and purpose. It took me years in Alanon, therapy, and immersive self-help book reading to come to understand my place in any of it. Now I bring insights and expertise as an advocate to those suffering because of someone else’s SUD. In a comprehensive, condensed program over just 12 weeks, you can have your life back. I only wish I had had a mentor or coach all those years ago to guide me as I tried to find understanding and heal from loving an addict. As a mother of two daughters I know, first hand, the struggle to keep balance and wellness in a home with addiction. I’ve been through divorce, financial bankruptcy, and the loss of my loved one to prison all because of addiction. It would be my honor to give you the tools; techniques, mindset, and empowerment to navigate the wreckage that addiction creates and put your life back together.

I am a Nationally Certified Family Addiction Coach (NCFAC), Nationally Certified Recovery Coach (NCRC) and the author of, Addiction Rescue; The NO-BS Guide to Recovery.

My Clients

Kim M

“For the past 4 years Dana has been a gift to our whole family. Dana has mentored us individually and as a family unit.  She has worked with us on everything from treatment options for our loved ones to how to establish boundaries and consequences if they choose not to seek help for themselves.  A big take away was that we have no control over our loved ones alcoholism but we are able to find comfort for ourselves in such a destructive environment. Our family found that our recovery is just as important to each of us individually as it is for the alcoholic members of our family.  Dana is always empathetic and compassionate to our needs.  She is open, honest and extremely kind.  I will always be grateful to Dana for everything she has done and given to our family.  She changed our lives!”

Trevor C.

“Dana was an absolute Godsend in the darkest moments of my life. My roommate/coworker was addicted to alcohol and crack cocaine, my wife was diagnosed with with borderline personality disorder and my best friend was gambling and a meth addict. I was at the end of my rope when Dana stepped in. She helped me with the cycle of codependency to start living my life again. I owe everything to her.”
