Download or read book Respect the Path written by Michele Noel and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respect the Path is a gritty truth-telling companion book to any 12-Step Addiction Recovery effort for women. It is also a must-read for any woman who lives with or loves an addict and has suffered the abuses involved in such a relationship. Generally focused on the broad diversity of the Christian community, Michele pushes back on traditional Christian judgments about the "good or bad" direction anyone's path is currently taking. Working with women in over a thousand group and individual meetings has taught Michele that even the most depraved addict or the most horribly abused woman can find health and healing for her body, mind, and soul. "The Recovery path is grueling, exhausting, powerful, and glorious. Truth is, gloriousness can only come from growing out of that deprivation. Every path is simply a valued, vital part of uncovering the magnificence that already existed within every woman. Work the path--believe that your path has value, no matter what! Yet valuing the path does not grant permission to stew in the juices of self-pity, blame, or self-righteous rationalizations. Rather, we dig deep for that dormant power of Queenship and go to work. We change ourselves and the world one day at a time. Respecting the path requires us to open our minds to new concepts and ideas about how we think about what we are thinking about." Michele has seen just as many lives brought to the brink of destruction by repetitive negative thinking patterns as by the ravages of any substance or behavioral addiction. Addiction patterns and negative thinking patterns can be overcome because the brain has a God-given healing power. God is in this work! Michele uses the term addiction in a broad non-condemning sense because ownership and accountability are essential to healing and finding the joy of Recovery. "The term addiction becomes our friend, our instructor--not a shame label--and it certainly does not define who we are. Rather, it is merely the path we have trod." Michele's favorite self-title is Addict-in-Recovery.

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.

Download or read book Recovery Now written by Anonymous and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible basic text written in today’s language for anyone guided by the Twelve Steps in their recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. For decades people from all over the world have found freedom from addiction--be it to alcohol, other drugs, gambling, or overeating--using the Twelve Step recovery program first set forth in the seminal book Alcoholics Anonymous. Although the core principles and practices of this invaluable guide hold strong today, addiction science and societal norms have changed dramatically since it was first published in 1939. Recovery Now combines the most current research with the timeless wisdom of Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other established Twelve-Step program guides to offer an accessible basic text written in today’s language for anyone recovering from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Marvin D. Seppala, MD, offers a “doctor’s opinion” in the foreword to Recovery Now, outlining the medical advances in addiction treatment, and updating the Big Book’s concept of addiction as an allergy to reveal how it is actually a brain disease. Regardless of gender, sexual orientation, culture, age, or religious beliefs, this book can serve either as your guide for recovery, or as a companion and portal to the textbook of your chosen Twelve Step Program.
Download or read book Psychoneuroplasticity Protocols for Addictions written by Frank Lawlis and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PsychoNeuroPlasticity Protocols for Addictions: A Clinical Companion for the Big Book is a book that represents a tipping point in the translation of addiction science into practical, real-world applications for practitioners. It translates brain research into patient deliverables by explaining how to use the brain to fight addiction and improve recovery outcomes. It does so while embracing the long-standing recovery culture that has been the only source of hope for addicts and alcoholics in the past fifty years. The contents of the book reveal the transformational aspects of recovery along with the scientific principles of what Dr. Lawlis has coined as “PsychoNeuroPlasticity,” along with many of the barriers to transformation. More specifically it covers brain patterns that relate to depression, anxiety, OCD, mood and even brain development issues noted in premature development of adjustment in young addicts. The approaches are not singular in nature, but cover a wide range of effective modes of treatment, including diet, exercise, meditation, and biofeedback. The reader and treatment specialist will be re-energized by witnessing the changes in patient care, staff training, and outcomes. Digging deeper, however, this book is about hope—hope that the work of two decades of brain science will finally reach those who need it most; hope that we finally have a tool that will give us a true advantage in the war on addiction; and hope that lives lost to this disease every year will someday be stymied.
