Incomprehensible Demoralization drew me in and held me captive. Jared Combs describes the life of an addict and pharmacist. His marriage was deteriorating, but the pills were more important. Through the Lord, his Church, the support of his family and AA, he has become a recovering addict. Combs seizes every opportunity to help others. Share his witness.

Download or read book Addiction—God’S Healing written by Duly Noted and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was just your run-of-the-mill alcoholic who God saw fit to rescue! For close to forty years, I struggled with addiction, and as time went on, it always got worse quicker and got more intense after any period of clean time. It was not until this unprofessional writer put God like I never had him before in my life and also after a proven twelve-step program that I was able to get and stay soberone day at a time. I was bankrupt in all waysfinancially, emotionally, mentally (at times I couldnt remember my name), and almost spiritually. I turned a perfectly good life into a perfect messby choice. Why? I ended up at a few homeless shelters. Family and friends were asking (begging) me to get out of my hometown, Buffalo, New York, because I was going to die as the whole city turned into a people, places, and things place that people are warned about in recovery. Today I tell God, people at recovery meetings, family, and friends, I have the best life of anybody I know, and I believe it! God gets and deserves all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise that my family and friends give to me. God blessed me with one grandchild (daughter) and another one on the way. At recovery meetings, they say, Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. That is so true! According to Matthew 6:33, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added onto you. Thank you! God bless you! Glenn

Book Synopsis Cravings for Deliverance by : Paul Schulte
Download or read book Cravings for Deliverance written by Paul Schulte and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William James’s The Varieties of Religious Experience, first published in 1902, is considered one of the seminal books of the twentieth century and had an important influence on the thinking of Carl Jung and the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Indeed, The Varieties of Religious Experience is the only text quoted in Alcoholics Anonymous (the “Big Book”). Yet the strong influence of James and his work on the formation of Alcoholics Anonymous is not well known, understood, or recognized. Cravings for Deliverance is the first book to explore the profound effect that Dr. James and his book had on AA and its founders. In addition to weaving together brief excerpts from James’s book with the writings of Bill Wilson (who wrote most of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous) to show how closely the two men’s work resonated, the book also provides new insight, information, and perspective for those interested in James and his work, and the many people in Twelve Step programs, including Alanon, who have found Varieties of Religious Experience difficult to navigate.

Book excerpt: Your Struggle With Food, Weight, or Substances Is Not Your Fault, It's A Normal Response To Surviving An Abnormal Childhood. Even though Mary was in long-term recovery with food, severe obesity, drugs, and alcohol and had what most people would consider a successful life— behind closed doors, she still struggled and wondered… * Why she had so few close friends and had difficulty finding a fulfilling, romantic relationship. * Why she still struggled with food, sleep, and caffeine. * Why she couldn't find the flow and passion she longed for in her career. * Why, even though she was in long-term recovery with food and substances and had maintained a 160lb weight loss for several decades, she felt the need to hide these parts of her past from others. Finally, in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving these, and her past struggles with food, obesity, and substances was a condition known as Complex PTSD (CPTSD), a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home. This discovery sent Mary on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the trauma and recovery fields who authored books about complex PTSD and the adverse childhood experiences study (ACE Study.) In order to find the most effective treatments for healing trauma, she studied the work of thought leaders in the fields of CPTSD, neuroscience, and developmental psychology and through books about addiction, childhood trauma in adults, emotional trauma, addiction to food, and addiction recovery. Join Mary as she experiences one mind-blowing revelation after another as she learns that CPTSD was operating behind the scenes sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health—and learn what she did to heal. Witness Mary go from believing she was weak, a failure, hopeless, and unworthy due to her struggle with food, weight, substances, and relationships to finally ending these battles by healing the trauma driving them. Discover how she found compassion for what happened to her, released the shame over how she coped, and learned to accept herself just as she is. Learn how healing trauma opened the door for her to forge healthy relationships and finally find her purpose in helping fellow survivors heal and thrive. In This Blending of Memoir, Science-Based Research & Compassionate CPTSD Workbook, You'll Learn: You're not alone; you're not bad or defective; it's not your fault, your symptoms are normal, and you can heal.
