Book Description
"12 Steps for Recovery & Recovery Companion Workbook" is a spiritual and practical guide through the 12 Steps allowing alcoholics, addicts and dysfunctional individuals to engage in a hands-on recovery process. Demonstrating insight that comes from the perspective of long-term sobriety, the author has crafted a book and workbook synthesizing concepts of psychology, spirituality, and cognitive and behavioral aspects of the 12 Steps originated by Alcoholics Anonymous. Many who seek recovery can now experience a "user-friendly" format and explanation of a program that has been misunderstood. With humor and warmth, Ms. Lyons illustrates the internal concepts and practical applications of each Step and includes a special section on Relapse Prevention. People who suffer from addictions, their friends, family, employers and co-workers and others interested in the components of the 12 program can learn valuable strategies for recovery. The material and workbook exercises can also be used by addiction specialists and healthcare providers as an interactive tool for individual and group therapies, while educating their clients/patients about 12 Step ideology. The Steps are part of a holistic treatment program that must include therapy, trauma counseling, if indicated, education, self-examination, and strategies and tools to support the restructuring of thoughts and beliefs that contribute to continued addiction and dysfunction.

Recovery
Author: Russell Brand
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250141931
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food and eBay, that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first steps into recovery “This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain but from the mud...My qualification is not that I am better than you but I am worse.” —Russell Brand With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his fourteen years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering along the full spectrum of addiction—from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work, stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “Why are you addicted?” but "What pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running—into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong person’s arms?" Russell has been in all the twelve-step fellowships going, he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and a practiced yogi—and while he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a recovery plan, but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.

The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments
Author: Scott Weeman
Publisher: Ave Maria Press
ISBN: 1594717265
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.
