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 >> alcoholism treatment

If we can replace our sense of self-preoccupation with Godliness, we have a chance to recover from relapse.  The aim should be to use the relapse for the benefit of others.  There's nothing more powerful in the recovery world than to know that the disease is 'out there' ready and waiting to pounce on anyone, no matter how much time they have.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete

Josh Hamilton remarked that he thought he had his disease beat.  This may indicate why he relapsed.  His thinking may have been skewed in the sense that he thought he had to overcome the problem as many people believe.  Accurate information is found at twelve-step meetings where we learn that we don't beat the disease.  We can't beat the game.  We surrender to God and He beats the game, i.e., takes away the cravings and helps us to become humble enough to stop trying to win and surrender to a Power that helps us abstain.  We can play God all that we want but we can't beat addiction by fighting it.  We need ongoing help.  This is reality.

Love and Peace,

We can do anything for one day.  This helps us not drink for today, cravings usually go away and we can survive addiction.

Sometimes it is a successful day if we just don't drink or drug or do any harm.  Use this mindset when it's 'not your day'.

Sometimes we have to get through this day.  The next day we are better.

Most of us have difficulty trusting others due to a long history of mistrust of self and others.  Treated addiction consists in trusting God and self.

This is my new book.  I wrote it after studying addiction, both yours and mine, for over 40 years.  I realized that there were many things that worked exceptionally well and I decided to list them, elaborate, and put the ideas together in a book for those who want to get sober and/or clean.  The concepts work for those who go to meetings and those who do not.  My hope is that you will make it work for you.

Love and Peace,

We need to value our worth as children of God.  Stability in this area comes when we help others now and later on.
