Growth And Change (Road To Recovery)

The second book in the Road to Recovery series features a collection of personal stories from men and women who have experienced growth and change in 12-Step recovery. For people interested in gaining insights from people in recovery, this collection of short essays is a great introduction for both the recovering alcoholic/drug addict and family member. Each of the featured essays was originally published in Renascent's popular recovery ezine, TGIF, which continues to be shared weekly by email. Editor Dale H. notes in the introduction, "Recovery is all about change, about growth, about relating to others and the world in a different way. This volume examines some of the myriad challenges and opportunities presented to us as we learn a new way of living: expectations, perfectionism, acceptance, relapse, authenticity, relationships, self-esteem, fear, joy, shame, community, gratitude - essentially the gamut of the human experience, viewed through the lens of active recovery." In his foreword, Dr. Robert J. Ackerman shares, "As I read these stories, a few other things about growth and change became obvious. For example, after all of the hard work to bring about change, we should celebrate our recovery. Live it. Enjoy it. Love it. Share it."
