Book excerpt: The 12 steps presented in this book are intended to help individuals recover from the emotional suffering that so often accompanies and exacerbates chronic pain. When emotional suffering is severe, doctors often refer to this condition as the "chronic pain syndrome". Those who do develop the chronic pain syndrome are apt to experience increasing physical, emotional, and social deterioration over time. Also, they are at risk for the abusing medications; the chronic pain syndrome and addiction co-exist. For those who are already familiar with 12-Step recovery, this book provides a way to use the 12-Step approach to help manage their chronic pain. For those unfamiliar with the steps, this book provides an introduction to "step work", recovery stories, inspirational readings, and recovery exercises. This book draws upon the rich tradition of other 12 Step programs and of cognitive behavioral therapy. For those who continue to suffer despite traditional medical treatments such as medications, surgery, or spinal injections, these steps offer hope for a better future with little, if any, risk. They offer a solution to problems that contribute to suffering: lack of trust, fear, worry, blame, isolation, and resentment. They provide a path for recovery from suffering-a path that leads to trust, honesty, reconciliation, peace and joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both pain and addiction are tremendous public health problems. Practitioners of every stripe say that they learned precious little about pain or addiction in their training and readily admit that instruction on the interface of pain and addiction is nonexistent. The recent problem of prescription drug abuse has only served to highlight the fact that these two worlds need unificationthose who treat pain must be informed about the risks of controlled substances and those who treat addiction need to better and more fully understand their benefits. Nowhere is the pooled knowledge of pain management and addiction medicine brought together to allow for a greater appreciation of the risks of addiction when treating people with pain and the pain problems of those with chemical dependency. This major new volume brings this vast knowledge base together, presenting an array of perspectives by the foremost thought leaders at the interface of pain and chemical dependency, and is the most comprehensive resource on the subject to date.There have been an increasing number of seminars devoted to this topic and a new society, The International Society on Pain and Chemical Dependency, has recently been formed, and this volume is destined to become the classic text on this multidisciplinary subject. It will appeal to anesthesiologists, neurologists, rehab physicians, palliative care staff, pain center physicians, and psychologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A self-help guide for those who are chronically ill. When we live with a chronic illness or disability, our spirit is tested. And though we may have no say in our sickness, how we meet its spiritual challenge is entirely up to us. This is the message of Martha Cleveland's heartening book, which maps the spiral of emotional pain that steals the energy of the chronically ill--and shows how to turn this spiral into a path toward spiritual growth. Cleveland herself turned to the Twelve Steps for support during almost two decades of a recurring illness that defied diagnosis. In this book, she shares what the Twelve Step program teaches her about living with chronic illness--coping with feelings of pain, anger, hopelessness, and isolation--and about offsetting such negative emotions with spiritual wellness. An invitation to choose joy over despair, her book reveals how chronic illness can open the spirit to acceptance, serenity, and fulfillment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain is often a complex condition that fails to respond adequately to medical treatments alone. Successful management requires integrated treatment approaches such as those offered by nationally recognized comprehensive pain programs. For those who do not have access to these programs, this book offers steps to help create an alternative treatment path that includes evidence-based medical treatments, physical modalities, counseling, self-care education and alternative approaches. This book is a resource for not only for those who suffer with chronic pain but for their families and healthcare providers. It includes information about interventional pain management procedures, medications, psychological treatments, physical therapies, alternative and complementary approaches. The book also address the risk of addiction to opioid medications. Each chapter includes specific action steps to help individuals determine the types of treatments that might best meet their needs. This book also includes an updated version of the author's previously published 12-Step Chronic Pain recovery guide. The 12-Steps are intended to help individuals recover from the emotional suffering that so often accompanies chronic pain. The 12-Step approach presented in this book draws upon the rich tradition of other 12-Step programs and of cognitive behavioral therapy. For those who have failed traditional medical treatments, such as medications, surgery, and spinal injections, these Steps offer hope for a better future with little, if any, risk. They offer a solution to problems that contribute to pain suffering—lack of trust, fear, worry, blame, isolation, and resentment. They provide a path for recovery from suffering—a path that leads to trust, honesty, reconciliation, peace and joy. What do experts have to say about Chronic Pain: A Way Out?"A holistic approach based on solid clinical evidence. Patients and medical care professionals alike can read and learn. Highly recommended" –Fernando S. Branco, M.D., FAAPMR. Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Pain Management and Addiction Medicine. Medical Director, Rosomoff Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center and Brucker Biofeedback Center, Miami, FL “No one can be excluded from the risk of chronic pain. Dr. Colameco's book is an educational tool that needs to be read by everyone regardless of his or her current experience of pain; an important addition to the pain literature.”—J. David Sinclair, MD, FRCP (C), DABPM. Anesthesiologist, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (Canada), Diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine, Independent Consultant for the Management of Chronic Pain, Seattle, WA “In Chronic Pain: A Way Out, Dr. Colameco combines current, evidence-based medical information with proven spiritual principles that have saved the lives of millions of suffering addicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First of Twelve Steps designed to help those suffering from dependencies of any kind - alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, co-dependency, shopping, etc. In Step One the participant wrestles with acknowledging their dependencies and the negative impact these compulsions have had on their life. However a person starts compulsively using, no one's intent is to end up controlled by the drug or behavior that eventually leaves the user with an overwhelming compulsion to use despite negative consequences. Some folks report that their addiction started as a coping strategy that offered a solution to a problem (chronic pain, anxiety, depression, awkward social interactions, low self esteem, trauma and stress). Inevitably, if a problem habit develops into a full blown Substance Use Disorder, the promised solution does not deliver and ends up robbing us of our dreams. In a respectful and thoughtful way this study guide provides structure for the reader to explore the depths of unmanageable living that inevitably accompanies compulsivity issues in all its many forms. Written from a distinctly Christian perspective, participants may find this workbook uniquely well-suited if they wish to approach their recovery from a Christian framework. The format includes daily meditation and prayer readings, personal stories and insights from those who have gone before them on this path to recovery. It also provides an in-depth guided self-reflection section intended to give the participant an opportunity to consider how the contents of this material intersect with their own personal experiences. This workbook considers the First Step from several distinct perspectives by exploring questions like - What does it mean to have moved from a bad habit to a dependency? What does the science say about Substance Use Disorder? How do people craft an effective recovery experience? What do we need to do differently if we want to move from bondage to freedom? Why is spirituality a key component of healthy recovery? This guide is both thorough and thought-provoking, useful for family members as well as those who struggle with a Substance Use Disorder. Anyone who is confused, curious or caught up in the disease of addiction will find resources and guidance in this material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve Step Christianity teaches Christians in recovery to connect their faith with their program--and shows any Christian a clear path to a more intimate relationship with Christ. Genuine Christianity is more than a set of beliefs--it is a relationship with Jesus Christ that involves hearing His voice and following His directions. But how does one do this? What tools or spiritual disciplines enable Christians to live out their lives in dynamic submission to God's will? Perhaps no set of principles is better suited to help Christians hear God's voice and submit to His will than the Twelve Steps. As a Christian who practices the Steps, Saul Selby knows them to be an invaluable tool for living out the Christian faith. Selby brings his knowledge to bear in Twelve Step Christianity, which teaches Christians in recovery to connect their faith with their program--and shows any Christian a clear path to a more intimate relationship with Christ. Laid out in a workbook format, with room for readers to write answers and track their progress, Twelve Step Christianity explores the roots of Twelve Step spirituality, Examines the connections and distinctions between Christianity and Twelve Step programs and offers readers a deeper and broader understanding of the myriad powerful reasons for applying the Twelve Steps to their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uses the hero's journey as the path on which to travel for overcoming addiction and crisis and rescuing your own story. This is a book about becoming heroic. A hero is a person who faces great danger, overcomes incalculable odds, and accomplishes that which would have been thought (especially by the hero) to be impossible to achieve. Considering the fear and pain that a person must experience in such an adventure, it is a role that few would desire for themselves. And yet, more of us find ourselves in circumstances demanding heroism than one might imagine. In fact, people who are never called upon to be heroic at some point in their lives are in the minority, if they exist at all. This is not a book for people who might want to become heroic someday. It is for people who are in the midst of a crisis, and who must make a decision about whether they are going to face their situation, survive, rise above themselves, and share their newfound knowledge with others who may need salvation. And it is for those who are already traveling such a journey and who would like to gain a new understanding of themselves, what their journey was and is about, and why it is so important. Using the twelve step framework for understanding the inner work a person must do in order to overcome addiction, Michael Cowl Gordon walks readers through the journey to inner salvation and peace. Using the hero's journey as the path on which to travel through these steps, he uncovers the deep work that it takes to be the hero in your own story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inclusive, research-based guide to working the 12 steps: a trauma-informed approach for clinicians, sponsors, and those in recovery. Step 1: You admit that you're powerless over your addiction. Now what? 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today. Dr. Jamie Marich, an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself, builds necessary bridges between the 12-step's core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Foregrounding the intersections of addiction, trauma, identity, and systems of oppression, Marich's approach treats the whole person--not just the addiction--to foster healing, transformation, and growth. Written for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery, Marich provides an extensive toolkit of trauma-informed skills that: Explains how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapse Celebrates communities who may feel excluded from the program, like atheists, agnostics, and LGBTQ+ folks Welcomes outside help from the fields of trauma, dissociation, mindfulness, and addiction research Explains the differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; and Discusses spiritual abuse as a legitimate form of trauma that can profoundly impede spirituality-based approaches to healing.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
