One -Year Recovery Program

 Untangle & Thrive

A 12-Month Recovery Skills Program for Real-Life Sobriety

You did the hard part. You got sober.

But walking out of rehab is just the beginning.

That first year out—the reentry into your home, your job, your relationships, your life—is where most people falter. Not because they’re not committed. But because they’re unprepared for what comes next.

You’re suddenly expected to rebuild your life while regulating your emotions, healing your past, and managing the daily pressures of a world that hasn’t changed—while you have.

Untangle & Thrive was built for this moment.
The moment after rehab when everything gets real.

💡 What Is Untangle & Thrive’s program?

A 12-month, trauma-informed recovery skills program that supports you from the moment you walk out of treatment to the moment you fully step into the life you’re ready to live.

This isn’t therapy.
This isn’t a support group.
This is a structured, skill-based, deeply supportive container designed to help you stabilize, grow, and thrive in your real life—one phase at a time.

🛠️ Who It’s For

• You’ve just completed or are about to complete treatment

• You’re scared of relapsing—or confronting difficult circumstances

• You don’t know how to organize your days, space, or emotions yet

• You want to feel steady, supported, and capable in your real life

• You’re ready to do the work, but you need a structure that holds you

If that’s you, Untangle & Thrive was made for you.

🛠️ How It Works

🔄 The Four Phases of Real-Life Recovery

Phase 1: Foundations (Days 1–90)

Home Sobriety & Nervous System Regulation

.You land back at home—but nothing feels stable yet. This phase is all about grounding, safety, and reorganization. The first 90 days are critical for establishing "Home Sobriety"—the embodied, practical experience of living sober in the real world. This phase helps participants land safely after treatment and begin building a new, supportive structure at home. We focus on creating physical, emotional, and relational stability, beginning with the environment itself: reorienting the home space to reflect recovery values, creating new routines, and establishing systems of care that hold and contain early sobriety

• Reorient your space to support recovery (yes, even moving furniture)

• Establish new rhythms: sleep, food, movement, routine

• Work with your nervous system—not against it

• Stabilize with weekly coaching, structure, and support

“Home Sobriety” means learning to hold the mess while building structure. This is the groundwork for lasting recovery—a steady rhythm that can carry participants through transitions and uncertainty.

Phase 2: Skill-Building (Days 90–180)

Boundaries, Identity & Belonging

In Phase 2, you will move from early stabilization into the deeper work of identity integration—shifting from “I’m sober” to  how do “I belong to this new version of myself.” This stage focuses on building the emotional, behavioral, and practical skills that support aligned, sustainable change.

The core question guiding this phase is: “Who am I becoming—and what needs to change to support that version of me?” You will explore how old patterns (people-pleasing, avoidance, compulsive spending, dishonesty) no longer fit the identity of someone committed to growth and sobriety. We create space to examine these behaviors without shame and replace them with skills that honor self-worth, agency, and healthy connection.

This is where you learn to live aligned with your new identity.

• Who are you without substances?

• What behaviors no longer fit the new you?

• How do you say no—or yes—without guilt or fear?

• How do you earn, spend, and create with intention?

This is the phase of integration and self-definition—where you will begin living in alignment with who you truly are and who you are becoming. Sobriety is no longer just about what you’ve left behind, but about what you want to build.

Phase 3: Integration (Days 181–270)

Resilience, Expression & Real-World Recovery

Now you start living into your future.
We work with real-life triggers, social dynamics, and the pressure of responsibility.

• Relapse prevention strategies for real-world stress

• Repair fractured relationships with clarity and confidence

• Practice creative expression to unlock authenticity

• Vision your future and align your actions with it

Integration isn’t a goal—it’s a skill. We teach you how to live it.

Phase 4: Thriving (Days 271–365)

Purpose, Leadership & Ongoing Growth

This is the part where you stop managing recovery—and start owning your life.

• Clarify your long-term values and direction

• Lead in your relationships, work, and community

• Build a sustainable life plan that includes joy, work, and rest

• Reflect on how far you’ve come—and keep going

Thriving doesn’t mean perfect. It means present, powerful, and clear about who you’re becoming.

👤 Why This Works (and Why I Built It)

Hi, I’m Angela McKinney.
I’ve spent the past 20 years helping people—myself included—untangle from addiction, trauma, and chaos so they can build lives that feel honest, meaningful, and whole.

I’ve walked this path.
And I’ve created Untangle & Thrive to offer the structure, tools, and compassionate guidance I wish I had after rehab.

I’m a certified recovery coach, somatic practitioner, and author of Untangle: How to Create Big Possibilities Through Small Changes.
This program is a living embodiment of the work I teach—and the life I lead.
