Eventually, he ended up homeless, and he wanted out. All the while, he had a vision of a book of titles. Dreaming up book titles kept him alive at times. He began writing titles down on anything he could find. High and alone in a hotel room, he would write them on hotel stationary. Hungry and cold, living in a car, he would write them on napkins. Finding himself in prison again, he cried out to his father, God, to please help him. God answered his prayers. At his sentencing hearing, the judge gave him an option of a court-mandated rehab program. During his recovery, his vision for The Book of Titles became clear. Just as the titles were God's gift to him, he would like to share this gift with you.

Download or read book Thriving in Recovery written by Bob Reese PhD and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know “who you am?” Most books regarding addiction focus on the importance of quitting. Few books, however, address maintaining recovery, much less thriving in recovery. The 13th Step integrates Bob’s personal story—including his twenty-five years in the NFL—with research in the psychology of addiction recovery. Bob posits that you can’t thrive in recovery from addiction unless you know “who you am”! To know “who you am,” you need to recognize the insidious nature of addiction and the role dysfunctional relationships play in encouraging and enabling addiction, and the way these dysfunctional relationships can undermine and sabotage recovery. These realizations inform choices and healthy changes required for maintaining recovery. Bob’s curiosity, experiences, education, and research into performance and positive psychology have enabled him to apply scientifically supported interventions and techniques to encourage the positive changes necessary to take the thirteenth step to thrive in recovery.
