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

What a blessing when we get out of denial and then ask for help at the same time.  These two ingredients equal a chance to learn the tools needed to remain sober and clean.

This is one of the main reasons for not thinking.  We risk using our old thinking because we haven't learned new thinking yet.

Be sure to read the research, good research, on drugs and alcohol before you believe anything.  Do not listen to one person's opinion based on his or her experience.  This is not "generalizable" to the world of addiction and is one person's idea based on his or her limited experience. 

Real research gleans results from a sample of people who represent the population (of addicts in this case) that can be used to make statements and suggest concepts relevant to this population.  Well thought out, designed carefully, research projects are different and much more reliable and valid that one person's opinion.

If so, you will do whatever it takes, admit you are an addict and/or an alcoholic and realize that you can't do this on your own.

Practice 'restraint of tongue'  (AA Text, 1939).  Sometimes we have to be quiet and not overreact or even react.  We have no right to harm others.  However, we are not doormats and sometimes have to get away from hostile situations or else we 'set ourselves up' to explode and destroy all of our positive efforts.

Be wary of any treatment center that promises you the moon.   Whether it be mental health or addiction treatment, healing takes work from you.  You have to participate.  No treatment person can cure you. 

Treatment works but usually takes time and a willingness to change.

Surrender means that you get to be on the winning side.

We learned that surrender means that we lost.  In recovery. it means that we got honest and admitted that we could not be the one person on the planet who could beat addiction.  After all, why die for no cause at all.  It doesn't make sense.
