Book excerpt: This is a book of reflections by A.A. members for A.A. members. It was first published in 1990 to fulfill a long-felt need within the Fellowship for a collection of reflections that moves through the calendar year--one day at a time. Each page contains a reflection on a quotation from A.A. Conference-approved literature, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, As Bill Sees It and other books. These reflections were submitted by members of the A.A. Fellowship who were not professional writers, nor did they speak for A.A. but only for themselves, from their own experiences in sobriety. Thus the book offers sharing, day by day, from a broad cross section of members, which focuses on the Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous: Recovery, Unity and Service. Daily Reflections has proved to be a popular book that aids individuals in their practice of daily meditation and provides inspiration to group discussions even as it presents an introduction for some to A.A. literature as a whole.

This groundbreaking work is designed to give you everything you need to quit the habit and all of the destructive, distressing and damaging effects that come with alcohol abuse, binge drinking and habitual over-indulgence.Whether you only suspect you have a problem, or you've been drinking to inebriation for many years, this book is designed to provide an alternative to drug rehab scenarios, and to traditional 12 step Alcoholics Anonymous programs. It can also be a complement for those considering a more traditional treatment for alcoholism, or a first step towards any of the alcohol treatments described herein. All readers need to understand: • The nature and difficulty of the commitment required. • The emotional fortitude required, and how to build up your strength gradually and rationally.• Getting help where you can. All kinds of alternatives are available. Finding the right one will help you, too. • Learning is a still a part of your life, and what you're doing is learning to be yourself, and to make yourself truly happy. Millions of Americans and people all around the world suffer from alcoholism. And they do suffer. The effects and consequences of alcohol abuse are well known and often most apparent to the drinker. But being helpless about changing and improving your lot in life is not an answer any more. Re-dedicating yourself to a solution, everyday, and to a new beginning is something every one with a drinking problem does on their own. Alone and individually. You may feel that way now. Alone. But this book is designed to quickly re-integrate you into a world where you won't be alone, much less alienated and suffering. You'll learn to position yourself best for a new approach to alcohol and alcoholism, to all of the treatments available with a frank analysis of each and to better get on with your life. • Learn why relapses happen. And how to recover from them and prevent them. • Learn key relapse triggers and how to better avoid them.• Learn interesting, enthralling and life affirming alternatives to drinking that allow anyone with a drinking problem to relearn life and living. If you or someone you care for suffers from too much drinking, this is the quickest and most unbiased guide available to all of your options. Continuing drinking is not among them. Changing your life takes time, commitment and guts, but it also takes a thorough understanding, some research and some time put in. This book is the first place to put in your time. Readers get a thorough introduction to the problem of alcoholism, the nature of the solutions that work best and the specifics of what works best for whom. They also get step-by-step instructions on what the process is like and how to resolve an alcohol problem permanently. While the character of the drinker is bound to have suffered, this book takes the position that anyone can give up drinking. The long, sometimes difficult road doesn't need to be worsened by bad information or conflicting accounts of what to do next. While not necessarily desperate, alcoholism is a grave problem that calls for bold solutions and bold actors. This book is intended to embolden those who read it and to be a first step toward a lasting and fulfilling recovery.

Book excerpt: Still Lost? It's Your Decision, An Alternate Step just may be the answer you are looking for. You have not yet found sanctuary from the devastation of alcoholism in the current forms of treatment available. You are not alone. You have tried Alcoholics Anonymous and they couldn't do it, and you are not a seeker of "Higher Powers" to save your butt. That leaves you in a dead zone most people will tell you is impossible to recover from. AA believes an alcoholic will never recover; you are forever in a recovery mode. Day by day. This author has a different view. AA can't help you. No higher power is going to help you. The author of this book can't help you. Take a long hard look in a mirror. Although you look similar to the reflection staring back at you, what you see and how others see you are actually two different people. So who has the best view of that image in the mirror? That answer may be a key to the end results you are searching for.

Download or read book Alcoholic Or Problem Drinker written by Anonymous Guest and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you or a friend has a "problem with alcohol" this guide may help you to find out if it is alcoholism or if it is problem drinking. The two issues have a few similarities but have more differences. As the saying goes "it's hard to work on the problem if you don't know what the problem is." Helping the inndividual identify what the real issue is, then they are free to decide what remedy to use. In most cases if the consumption of alcohol is frequent it may be needed to enter yourself into a local detox center to safely withdraw from alcohol and any other drugs. Withdrawl can be dangerous and having medical supervision during this process can save your life or safe you from injury during the withdrawl process. If you discover that you may be alcoholic, the program of AA will make a huge difference in not only getting sober, but finding contented sobriety. After 38 in the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous, I am still in awe of the miracles I see. People who are so messed up when they first come into this program and totally change into a rational, even thinking human beings. This happens not by just going to meetings, that won't do it. It is only by fully immersing yourself into the 12 Steps that an incredible metamorphosis happens. Trembling despairing people turn into people you would be pleased to know. Even to call them a friend, when a few short months before you wouldn't have allowed them into your home. By being honest with yourself, working to live on a spiritual basis and getting an open mind for new approaches to life is a big part of how it works. This is not a religious movement at all. Religion has rules. Spirituality has only guidelines and suggestions. The person is free to find their own way looking only to live by spiritual principals instead of their previous personality. The true beauty of this process is you get better in spite of yourself. You simply follow the steps and changes within happen. Even those around you, like friends and family, will notice a difference. It seems that once we address the spiritual sickness within (because we are spiritual beings) we straighten out mentally and physically. Over the last 38 years, I have had wondrous experiences watching people get their lives and families back. So if you're in trouble because of your drinking this guide will help you understand the problem and give you (or a friend) some real options if you wish to make a change. I wish the best for you and I hope I can be of service if needed. Anonymous Guest

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An unflinching examination of how our drinking culture hurts women and a gorgeous memoir of how one woman healed herself.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “You don’t know how much you need this book, or maybe you do. Either way, it will save your life.”—Melissa Hartwig Urban, Whole30 co-founder and CEO The founder of the first female-focused recovery program offers a groundbreaking look at alcohol and a radical new path to sobriety. We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people—who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Holly found an alternate way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. Her resultant feminine-centric recovery program focuses on getting at the root causes that lead people to overindulge and provides the tools necessary to break the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it. Written in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication. You will never look at drinking the same way again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A classic. Read it. Use it. It can help guide you step by step into the bright light of the world of recovery.” —from the Foreword by Harry Haroutunian, M.D., Physician Director, Betty Ford Center “The Recovery Book is the Bible of recovery. Everything you need to know you will find in here.” —Neil Scott, host, Recovery Coast to Coast radio Hope, support, and a clear road map for people with drug or alcohol addiction. Announcing a completely revised and updated second edition of The Recovery Book, the Bible of addiction recovery. The Recovery Book provides a direct and easy-to-follow road map to every step in the recovery process, from the momentous decision to quit to the emotional, physical, and spiritual issues that arise along the way. Its comprehensive and effective advice speaks to people with addiction, their loved ones, and addiction professionals who need a proven, trusted resource and a supportive voice. This new edition features the revolutionary Recovery Zone System, which divides a life in recovery into three chronological zones and provides guidance on exactly what to do in each zone. First is the Red Zone, where the reader is encouraged to stop everything, activate their recovery and save their life. Next is the Yellow Zone, where the reader can begin to rebuild a life that was torn apart by addiction. Finally, the reader reaches the Green Zone, where they can enjoy a life of recovery and help others. And the Recovery Zone ReCheck is a simple and effective relapse prevention tool. The Recovery Zone System works hand-in-hand with the 12-step philosophy and all other recovery methods. The Recovery Book covers new knowledge about addiction mechanisms and neuroplasticity, explaining how alcohol and drugs alter the brain. The authors outline a simple daily practice, called TAMERS, that helps people to use those same processes to “remold their brains” around recovery, eventually making sobriety a routine way of life. Written by Al J. Mooney, M.D., a recovery activist who speaks internationally on recovery, and health journalists Catherine Dold and Howard Eisenberg, The Recovery Book covers all the latest in addiction science and recovery methods. In 26 chapters and over 600 pages, The Recovery Book tackles issues such as: Committing to Recovery: Identifying and accepting the problem; deciding to get sober. Treatment Options: Extensive information on current options and how to choose a program. AA and other 12-Step Fellowships: How to get involved in a mutual-support group. Addiction Science and Neuroplasticity: How alcohol and drugs alter pathways in the brain, and how to remold the brain around recovery. Relapse Prevention: The Recovery Zone ReCheck, a simple new technique to anticipate and avoid relapses. Rebuilding Your Life: How to handle relationships, socializing, work, education, and finances. Physical and Mental Health: Tips for getting healthy and handling common ailments. Pain Control: How to deal with pain in recovery and avoid a relapse if you need pain control for medical care. Family and Friends: How to help a loved one with addiction, and how to help yourself. Raising Substance-Free Kids: How to “addiction-proof” your child. The Epidemic of Prescription Drugs: Now a bigger problem than illegal drugs. The Recovery Book will help millions gain control of their mind, their body, their life, and their happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fresh voice in the emerging field of moderation treatment programs, which claim that abstinence-only approaches . . . clearly do not fit all drinkers.” —Gabrielle Glaser, author of Her Best-Kept Secret: Why Women Drink—And How They Can Regain Control Only about six percent of the population that are alcoholic need to quit drinking completely in their recovery process, yet nearly 90 percent of treatment programs and substance abuse treatment practitioners require total abstinence from alcohol. Cynthia Turner is not one of them. In Can I Keep Drinking? she provides you with easy-to-follow tools, checklists, and quizzes to help you answer the question “Can I keep drinking?” and figure out a way to have a healthier relationship with alcohol. “The dominant US perspective about drinking problems—that abstinence is the only genuine solution—gets a thorough re-examination in Can I Keep Drinking? If you’re looking for a fresh and evidence-based perspective on drinking problems and ways to change them, everything you need to know is here.” —A. Thomas Horvath, Ph.D., ABPP, author of Sex, Drugs, Gambling & Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions “When someone faces the notion that they may have an alcohol problem for the first time, it is almost impossible to know where to begin. Can I Keep Drinking? offers a practical, thorough, easy-to-read roadmap for addressing this issue.” —Kevin P. Hill, MD, MHS, author of Marijuana: The Unbiased Truth About the World’s Most Popular Weed “Cyndi Turner explains the foundations of moderate drinking empathetically and intelligently. This book is an excellent addition to the harm reduction canon, one that will certainly help readers navigate a healthier relationship with alcohol.” —Kelsey Osgood, author of How to Disappear Completely: On Modern Anorexia
