About me

My mission is to help others live with purpose, direction, and inner strength.

My story

My name is Asa-Malin

On November 1, 2010, I faced a choice: to live or to die.

I was 34 years old, frightened and deeply ill. Even though I was terrified, I decided to give life a chance. I have been sober ever since.

How I got there

I became addicted to alcohol in my late teens. Slowly but surely, alcohol took over my life until it overshadowed everything else. I got stuck deep in my addiction. Shame, anxiety and, above all, fear kept me from asking for help, until I became so ill that the only choice left was between life and death.

The way back

Because I had become so extremely ill, both physically and mentally, the road back has been long and challenging. I have gone through my own recovery journey, with everything that involves. But I am deeply happy and grateful that, in my foggy state of mind, I managed to make the decision to give life a chance.

Today I have a wonderful life. Life is life for me, just like it is for everyone else. It holds both sorrow and joy, challenges and rewards. But every day is better than the misery that addiction brings once it reaches a certain point.

My work

Since 2014, I have had the privilege of working as an addiction therapist. Among other things, I have led group treatment at a women's prison, and worked at treatment centers and in outpatient care. I have also coached many private clients.

My clients have taught me so much. The knowledge that grows out of conversations with others who also struggle with different forms of addiction is invaluable. You can't get it from studies alone. It comes from the human encounter.

Alongside my work, I have also spent several of my sober years studying a great deal. This has given me extensive theoretical knowledge in addiction science, different treatment methods, mental health, developmental psychology and counseling techniques.

Reaching more people

A couple of years ago, I decided to reach more people and help on a larger scale. For a whole year, I dedicated all my time to recording 2 comprehensive online courses. One is for you who want help getting out of different forms of substance addiction. The other is for you who don't suffer from addiction yourself, but want to learn more about it. I have also recorded an episode on codependency. Everything is available in both English and Swedish.

A life that is anything but boring

I have experienced and achieved a lot during my sober years. And just in case anyone is wondering whether life gets boring without alcohol: my life is anything but boring.

I have faced many fears and gone against the voice that says I can't more times than I can count. I refuse to listen to it. If anything, I get stubborn, and do things most people wouldn't dare to do.

My latest challange was in 2023 when I drove all the way from Sweden to Spain on my own to start a new life, in a place I had never even been before. In 3 years, I have learned Spanish pretty well. I have completed a physically very demanding hiking trip in the Pyrenees in northern Spain. And much more.

Life simply becomes what you make of it.
