Recovery is possible and it's not as frightening as most make it out to be. Addiction is a cruel and subtle disease that robs it's victims of so much. Those suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction are often baffled by its affects on their lives and the devastation that can be wrought in such a short period of time. Loved ones feel helpless and hopeless as they are forced to stand by and watch as someone they care about erodes before their eyes, clear that they cannot stop drinking or using drugs. Luckily, many people are able to reach some sort of "bottom", or a jumping off place, where they are finally willing and able to ask for help and begin the process of getting sober. Kickstart Your Recovery offers a powerful message to those who are looking for a way out from an endless cycle of pain and loss and for tools for avoiding relapse. With a clear approach, and drawing on her own history of addiction recovery, author Taite Adams is able to give the new person in recovery answers to a lot of Frequently Asked Questions about getting sober and allay a lot of fears.

What is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)? 12 Step Programs Sponsorship Families and Relationships The Job and Career in Sobriety About the Consequences of Addiction Living Life and Having Fun Sober Addressing Other Issues and Much More Whether brand new in sobriety, considering going to treatment or just coming to grips with the fact that there may be a "problem", alcoholism and addiction help is available in many forms and Kickstart Your Recovery is an invaluable tool to get your questions answered about getting sober, staying sober, avoiding relapse and helping you move one step closer to a better way of life free of alcohol and drugs.

This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have served in each branch of the U. S. military. Equally significant, women have served in critical civilian roles during war in service to this nation. The protagonist in this saga gains admission into the U.S. Army to enhance her life chances and forage several future goals. Unknowingly, the protagonist embarks upon military service joining an influx of women of color- officially known as the All-Volunteer Force. Our omnipresent God, manifests his master design through lives of believers, exceeding expectations in ways never imagined, creating us at once singular, but collectively including us in the larger fabric of his plan. The protagonist's journey is riddled with twists and turns during her quest to transition from an individual, into a soldier, and a licensed clinical social worker. Throughout life anxiety provoking questions (e.g. Where am I going? How will I make my goals a reality?) demand immediate responses, which threaten to overshadow the joy and challenge of goal attainment. While many individuals struggle to connect the dots, the protagonist's encounter with an Armed Forces recruiter establishes a trajectory of events that address initial inquiries and spur adventures the protagonist never anticipated. Serendipity. Nothing but favor! God orchestrates divine connections linking the right people to the right opportunities at the right time for those who step out on faith! While pensive, but never deterred, the protagonist learns distance running and deep breathing, unknowingly developing valuable skills, crucial in completing tasks only dreamt of years earlier. Because of enough belief, God allows the protagonist's impossible dreams to become possible. You'll be grappling with the ideal that, risks taken today, in the absence of knowledge of outcomes serve as catalysts for overcoming tomorrow's obstacles! "Seed planting" by influential figures; belief in God; commitment; risk-taking; mastery (early success); along with clean and sober living anchors the protagonist in Christ and propels her into her God given destiny. Glory to God!

In this new edition of their award-winning book Staying Clean & Sober, addiction recovery experts Merlene and David Miller detail their groundbreaking approach to relapse prevention, as well as describe and evaluate other alternative addiction treatments. The Millers explain how certain amino acids and nutrients, combined with other alternative therapies and education, can result in sustained recovery rates of 80 percent or higher. In a straightforward and reader-friendly style, Staying Clean & Sober offers a new understanding of addiction, and ultimately new hope for an addiction-free lifestyle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a decade virtually exploding with drug addiction books, Janice Witt writes this one to the Parents, Husbands, Wives, and loved ones of those who suffer with the disease of addiction and are wondering if drug rehab or alcohol rehab is the best course of action. Desperate and frightened, those who love addicted people suffer tremendously. This book addresses the issues surrounding drug addiction recovery, with research-based opinions regarding what kind of drug rehabilitation works best and for whom. In our society, drug addicts and drug addiction are demonized. What continues to fuel the perpetual prejudice, against this disease and those who have it, is a culturally accepted array of misinformation and misunderstanding. It is toward the end of ignorance that the Author writes a brief, research-based primer explicating the nature of addiction and effective drug addiction rehabilitation. In recovery for over 25 years, herself, Janice Witt has been helping other addicts and alcoholics get well for nearly 24 of them. This is not one of your average addiction recovery books. Janice not only educates the reader, but invites everyone to the journey of learning more about the disease of addiction and then in advocating on the behalves of those who suffer from it. At the end of the book you will find a website address, allowing you to download a FREE resource guide of addiction professionals and quality addiction treatment facilities recommended by the Author.

My intention is that the material offered here should be chewed, pulled apart, scrutinized, and internalized. This book is designed to be worked. It is intended to provide support, insights, and exercises that will do something about the high relapse rate of people starting recovery.>-Earnie Larsen, From the introduction In this invaluable guide, renowned author and lecturer Earnie Larsen brings you a portable recovery aftercare program that you can easily integrate into your personal life ?and take with you anywhere you go.Now That You're Sober is an all-purpose, year-long compendium of recovery wisdom and inspiration to help those who are newly sober focus on practical applications of Twelve Step principles.

Each of his fifty-two entries includes a motivational essay, or pep talk, centered on a key element of recovery, followed by personal, practical, actionable steps to help you refocus on the concepts and behaviors that are essential in a recovering person's life.Earnie Larsen is a nationally known pioneer in the field of recovery from addictive and unwanted behaviors.

Combining solid science and practical guidance, along with her own experience and that of other addicts, Matesa offers a roadmap to creating our own unique approach to physical recovery. Each chapter provides key summaries and helpful checklists, focused on: exercise and activitysleep and restnutrition and fuelsexuality and pleasuremeditation and awarenessMatesa’s holistic approach frames physical fitness as a living amends to self--a transformative gift analogous to the “spiritual fitness” practices worked on in recovery.

The three core MICST group activities include: 1) body movement-mindfulness-relaxation (BMR); 2) cognitive stimulation using group discussions; and 3) cognitive stimulation using paper-pencil cognitive exercises and self-reflection exercises. A chapter is devoted to each of these core areas with actual case vignettes to illustrate ways that these activities can be implemented in clinical practice. Homework recommendations are included at the end of each chapter, devoted to a core MICST group activity and providing suggestions on ways to practice various skills and exercises in between group sessions. Also provided are several handouts and worksheets which can be used with clients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to author Joe Chavez, Oxford houses have been in continuous existence since the first house opened in 1975. Today there are over 1,400 houses opened in forty-six states in the United States, Canada, Australia, and our newest international house located in the African country of Ghana. This book is a collection of stories from the men and women of Oxford House. Their lives have changed for the better in this institution, overcoming addiction using a peer-based strategy of group living. “The stories in this book are from people who, as you will read, were hardcore addicts and alcoholics who gained long-term sobriety only after living in Oxford houses. This is a testament to the power of positive peer pressure and democracy in a diverse and, sometimes, contentious environment,” says Chavez.
