Book Synopsis The First 30 Days to Serenity by : Super Star
Download or read book The First 30 Days to Serenity written by Super Star and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring, dynamic and thought provoking read about Super Star's journey through addition and into recovery! This is a great read for anyone interested in gaining insight into addiction for the one with an addiction, for the family or loved ones, for anyone who would like to educate themselves about addiction from the perspective of one walking along the path.For the addict, the first 30 days are a rollercoaster of despair, cravings and emotions that addicts have either never had to deal with or have previously chosen to ignore. Maintaining sobriety during this time is often on a day-to-day, hour-by-hour, or second-to-second basis. To find success with sobriety, a person needs to have tools to deal with life from a new and unique perspective. As the relapse statistics indicate, it can be very scary as well as overwhelming to stay sober during this time of recovery. But what about the friends or family member of the addict? The ones that are watching their loved one struggle with the disease. How are they feeling? What is healthy for them to do or not do? How should they handle the difficult situations that arise? This book provides insight for the family member or loved one into the inner thoughts of an addict; both during active addiction and in early recovery. This is an opportunity to better understand that addiction isn't just about using the drug; it's about so much more. Addiction is a "thinking disease" and this book appropriately exposes how stinkin' thinkin' is at the core of every addiction!While there are many successful books on the market about addiction, The First 30 Days to Serenity: The Essential Guide to Staying Sober is the first actual day-by-day account of staying sober through the first 30 days of recovery, including the thoughts, feelings, conversations, events, stress, tears, family friction, despair and drama of each of those 30 days from the lens of an addict. The story chronicles rock bottom experiences, daily journals from my first 30 days in recovery followed by a stinkin' thinkin' and sober thinkin' reflection one year later.The reflections are important because they allow the reader to witness the amount of personal growth that can happen during the first year of sobriety when someone works a recovery program. The reflections identify when the thinking was improper and dangerous, which we call "Stinkin' thinkin'," and when they were healthy and useful, which we call "Sober thinkin'." This book is a tool to answering such questions as, "Should I be feeling this way on day 1?" "Am I crazy for thinking such a thought on day 18?" "How should I handle this situation on day 29?" The reader's experiences may not be the same as mine were, but there will be similarities that will allow an opportunity to gain insight through another's story.This book lets readers know that what they are going through or a loved one is going through are very much part of the recovery process. The experiences shared will allow the reader a deeper understanding into the thought process associated with addiction providing opportunities to gain insight into how to handle situations in a way that support recovery or support someone else in early recovery. By giving the reader real-life scenarios to associate with from someone who has been there, it shows that they too can find success in sobriety and be whoever they've always wanted to beeven a Rock Star or Super Star.This book was written for anyone who thinks it might be worth getting high just one more time or who thinks life could not get any worse from using. I am here to tell them through my stories that it CAN and it WILL. The road to SERENITY through SOBRIETY starts right now!

Download or read book A Jewish Guide to the Mysterious written by Rabbi Pinchas Taylor and published by Mosaica Press. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern science is the most accurate lens of reality that humanity has developed so far. Science is crucial to humanity’s health, safety, and development. Still, the lens of science only “sees” a thin slice of the totality of existence. Much of the human experience cannot be simply explained by standard quantifiable tests. Many people have become aware of the limits and shortcomings of scientific knowledge and have also realized that our perpetual hunger for spiritual understanding is real and undeniable. Many of us sense that there is something beyond. Throughout various periods of history and various cultures and societies, people have been interested in the mysterious and the paranormal. This yearning is rooted in the soul’s search for true spirituality. A Jewish Guide to the Mysterious, written by one of contemporary Judaism’s leading scholars and teachers, clearly explains classic Torah views on intriguing phenomena, such as dreams, astrology, time travel, alien life, reincarnation, ESP and auras, angels, demons, ghosts, and even such topics as the lost city of Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle. Read this fascinating book and be amazed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diets don't work. The pounds may slide off, but for too many dieters, once the food scales and calorie counters have been put away, the weight returns. Dr. Abraham Twerski, a specialist in addictive behavior, shows that it is not lack of willpower that leads to overeating but an absence of self-esteem. To develop healthy eating habits, a person must first develop a strong sense of self. With his characteristic upbeat style, Dr. Twerski explains: -The seemingly illogical compulsion of overeating and its connection to low self-esteem -The origins and evolutions of low self-esteem and how to identify common problems of a negative self-image -How to rely on yourself, instead of food, in times of stress, anger, and fear -How to deal with friends and family members who may contribute to and unhealthy self-image and eating habits -How to find the courage to change the life-long habits and where to get outside help in the form of therapy and support groups With Dr. Twerski's straightforward and honest approach, losing weight is redefined as gaining a sense of self and banishing diets forever.

Book Synopsis Pathways to Serenity. Overcoming Your Addictions One Day at a Time by : David Palmer
Download or read book Pathways to Serenity. Overcoming Your Addictions One Day at a Time written by David Palmer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is mainly about people who have experienced the blessings and joy of recovery from their addictions, how they did it, and how you can do it. My purpose in writing it is to give you, the reader, hope and encouragement. The rest is up to you. You will find my story, the one I tell at 12-Step meetings, in appendix 1 of the book. I hope you will conclude when you read it that, "If this guy can do it, I can, too." There are also nineteen chapters in the book that will help you better understand the resources available to you. There are chapters, for example, on people we are especially interested in-adolescents, veterans, and prison inmates-and about programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon, and Celebrate Recovery. I call these chapters "pathways to serenity" in the title of the book and emphasize taking it no more than "one day at a time," a vital key to recovery. The photo of my wife and me on the cover is meant to reassure those who seek recovery that there can be happiness after you drop the alcohol, drugs, or other addictions. And there will be moments of serenity, but not every moment. That's where the "one day at a time" comes in. The stories about people and programs are snapshots. People and programs change; some in recovery have slips and may never come back, while others succeed. It is also true that some programs succeed while others fade away. That's life, and readers must take this into account in charting their own recovery. This, then, is a freeze frame of people dealing effectively with their addictions through programs that work. We must remember that they are contending with an adversary-addiction-which chapter 5 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous describes as "cunning, baffling and powerful." Maybe so, but we have access to the God of the universe. The late Joe McQuany, who wrote a text book on recovery used by treatment centers, travelled the world over carrying the message, helped integrate AA meetings in the deep south and taught what the 12 Steps of AA, had this to say about God and man. "I look at the battles that go on in life, and I look at the resentments and fears, guilt, and remorse, and how these things block us from God and shackle us to the self. Then I look at love, tolerance, patience, courage, and wisdom. These qualities have come from God and they are always within us. In our outer and inner conflicts, we can see the powers of self-contending with the powers of God." Amen
