Dr. Nakumbe, Motivational Speaker

If you’ve been to treatment or not, sobriety and Addiction Recovery is hard and in many cases, you just don’t seem to understand why.

People read self-help books, scanned the internet for quotes and inspiration to stay committed to the commitment of sobriety and long-lasting recovery. Some to 90-in-90 recovery support meetings, get a sponsor, change friends, move locations, and develop high expectations to stay strong… working hard to do better and be better.

As you already know, recovery from addiction is hard! The reality is, in addition to what you’re already doing, it takes an understanding of the psychological changes that go with it and a willingness to endure discomfort (which is part of the reason why people use/cope in the first place….to deal with discomfort).

It’s time to learn what may be at the core of all of your addiction recovery problems and to break away from sabotaging-ways & dysfunctional patterns in your recovery. If you’re READY to find the real reason to why you can’t stay sober and have long-lasting recovery, create a new strategy and tackle this disease head-on … then Let’s Get at It!

Join Dr. Nakumbe in a life-changing conversation about the core reasons for why you feel defeated, disrespected, and doomed … aka, can’t win for losing.

Become aware of how you got to this point so that you can stop pressure you’ve put on yourself to be better. Together, you’ll get to the core of your internal conflict, shame, anger, and fear…at its root.

Mental and behavioral health challenges (including substance use) impact how we respond to or handle stress in our relationships (of all kinds).

Men in the Black and Brown community, have additional conversation layers to consider when talking about health and relationship expectations, such as, race, stereotypes, responsibility, and cultural practices that may be different than other communities.

The overall conversation about mental health and disappointment can feel shaming and very stigmatizing. However, instead of the popular blaming of women, attacking the system, and dramatization, let’s explore why some Black and Brown men are failing when it comes to professional or personal relationships, including their relationship with themselves from a clinical and real-life perspective.

Let’s have that conversation and explore the reasons from a clinical and real-life perspective.

If you’ve been told…”You’re not ready to be a man”, “you need to grow up”, “stop acting like a kid”, “how old are you again”, “I thought you knew how to take care of a woman”, “if you were a real man”, “why are you scared to be successful”, “you started out great and then just got lazy”, “you don’t care about anyone but yourself.”, “I give you everything - but you treat me the worst” … then you should attend, so we can get to the core of what’s going on - and trust, it will make sense.
