CONTROL ALCOHOL FOR LIFE
Empowering Professional Women and Men of all generations to find Freedom, Happiness and Peace; living a fulfilled life Controlling Alcohol, Habits and Addictions with Purpose, Passion, Clarity, and hope.
Hi, I am Ronnie
I guide professional women and men of all generations to control alcohol, food, sleep, and break free from additional limiting habits and struggles to live a healthier more fulfilling life.
My personal journey took place over a 30 year period until I discovered a sustainable way to address and heal from binge drinking, eating, and poor sleep habits. These transformations were life-changing and motivated me to help others find their path to the life you truly love.
When we work together, I create a safe, empowering space for sustainable transformational change, where curiosity is welcomed, and hope is reignited. With integrity, compassion, and clarity, I support you in uncovering what’s possible beyond your challenges—moving toward lasting change and inner peace, genuine joy, and the happiness you truly desire.
Your journey will always be rooted in respect, personal responsibility, and the belief that everyone has the capacity to live a fulfilling authentic life.
My Journey from Sales Professional to Coach
Anyone familiar with New Orleans knows that alcohol is as much a part of the city's fabric as the Mississippi River that runs through it. I, a seasoned sales and marketing manager, spent over 40 years training and guiding salespeople to success. What began as social and business-related drinking eventually led to physical and emotional turmoil, leaving me feeling trapped.
After years of questioning my relationship with alcohol, I discovered the book This Naked Mind, which revolutionized my beliefs and mindset about drinking. I became alcohol-free and have not looked back since.
The Questions I Finally Found Answers To
For the last 40 years I was a successful National Sales Representative and Sales Manager. One of the biggest questions I had that I could never answer when it came to Alcohol was WHY? Why was I able to feel so good so long ago when I started drinking in my 20s but as time went on it took more and more Alcohol to make me feel either normal, functional or feel some sort of buzz? Why was I drinking so much more than I used to drink? Why could I not stop drinking when I said I would? Why was I always drinking more than I planned to drink? Why could I no longer get a good night sleep and why was my life falling apart.
No one could answer my questions! I was strong and could manage anything, from my personal life to my business career, right?
After reading many books and listening to countless podcasts, they all had a message but none could answer the question, why?
After 40 years of searching, I have found the answers to all of my questions and want to share the true, science-based answers with YOU.
How I Can Help You
I am now a Certified Coach in Affective Liminal Psychology and This Naked Mind Institute. I learned the truth with science-based research of what Alcohol really is and the role it plays in all of our lives as HUMANS. I now understand why I did the things I did and only wish I known this 40 years ago.
As your Personal Coach I will guide you to your own path of freedom and rediscovery. My mission with you is rooted in compassion, curiosity, integrity and a deep understanding of the complexities of addiction. I empower my clients to not only overcome substance abuse but also to rebuild your life with Purpose, Connection, and Hope.
My coaching approach is compassionate, judgment-free, and shame-free, focusing on moderation, temporary abstinence, or a complete break of alcohol use. My guidance helps clients rediscover happiness and freedom, starting with self-compassion and curiosity.

"Having battled a food addiction for 60 years, I was open to anyone who thought they could help me. I had tried every diet and program out there, as well as engaged in psychotherapy. Nothing ever worked permanently. 3 months ago, I began this journey with Ronnie as my coach. He is extremely knowledgeable about the program, engaged and constantly moving me forward. His empathy was clearly evident with each session. I am grateful for Ronnie's commitment to helping others overcome their addiction. While I am still a "work in progress," my quality of life has improved dramatically in the 3 months Ronnie has coached me. He loves his role as a coach, and does a great job in keeping me interested and motivated! With his continued help, I am confident that I will continue on this road to success! I highly recommend Ronnie Richoux and his expertise in his program."

You have so much to offer others, and you are in the absolute "perfect role" to do just that! I cannot thank you enough for giving me your valuable time, Insight, and expertise in this program. It has meant the world to me! It has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. I don't think I could ever repay you for what you have done for me!

"Working with Ronnie Richoux has been a life-changing experience. When I first connected with Ronnie, I didn't fully recognize the extent of my struggle with drinking—or the impact it was having on my life. Ronnie's ability to listen deeply and give me the space to come to my own realizations was transformative. He's not just a great listener; he's an incredible guide who knows exactly when to let silence do the work."
