Ian Callaghan Blog: Sobriety, Nervous System Repair & Emotional Rewiring
Real sobriety. Nervous system repair. Identity rewiring. This blog is where I document how the mind, body and habits are rebuilt without rehab, willpower myths or recovery theatre.

Ian Callaghan
“I’ve spent over 40 years battling addiction, depression, and limiting beliefs. Now, I’m on the other side of it—helping people break free from their mental and emotional prisons.

I don’t follow the usual recovery scripts, and I don’t do fluff. This is about real change, not quick fixes.”
