~My Suggested Recovery Reads of Many Amazing Recovery Authors and Writers~

 ” We Do Recover and Express our Recovery Within The Artistry of Writing”

           ~Our Addiction/Recovery Suggested Reading~

 

.

“It is time to shine the spotlight on some wonderful recovery authors, poets, and writers like myself on my recovery blog. Even though I maintain my life maintaining recovery from ‘compulsive addicted gambling’ and alcohol abuse, I have many passions in life. Some are being a writer, an author, blogger, and recovery advocate, and I love to help other authors get their forms of artistry within books to readers who will enjoy them!”

We know sharing one’s story of addiction and recovery can be healing, powerful, and help to raise awareness about different types of addictions. It can also help shatter Stigma around those of us who may have made some bad choices in life, and taken a path less traveled by others while deep within addictions as we learn we can recover from it, and turn our lives around for the better in recovery, and hopefully help some people along our recovery journey through many forms of artistry.

Recovery books, poetry, and even other recovery websites are a form of expression and can help educate and inform the public in an artistic way, especially those who may have never been ‘touched’ by addiction can begin to help others learn, have more understanding and gain a wee bit more compassion towards those who do the recovery work and to show they can become productive citizens and better people in this world after addiction.

So here are some books, journal aides, memoirs, and poetry and books I have read I recommend. Because we all know within recovery, any form of recovery help can help us in many, many ways!

An Amazing New Read I Finished Called;  My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean by Amy Dresner… A Memoir.

 

.

.

About Amy and Her New Book:

“In the tradition of Blackout and Permanent Midnight, a darkly funny and revealing debut memoir of one woman’s twenty-year battle with sex, drugs, and alcohol addiction, and what happens when she finally emerges on the other side.”

Growing up in Beverly Hills, Amy Dresner had it all: a top-notch private school education, the most expensive summer camps, and even a weekly clothing allowance. But at 24, she started dabbling in meth in San Francisco and unleashed a fiendish addiction monster. Soon, if you could snort it, smoke it, or have sex with, she did.

Smart and charming, with Daddy’s money to fall back on, she sort of managed to keep it all together. But on Christmas Eve 2011 all of that changed, when high on Oxycontin, she stupidly “brandished” a bread knife on her husband and was promptly arrested for “felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon.”

Within months, she found herself in the psych ward–and then penniless, divorced, and looking at 240 hours of court-ordered community service. For two years, assigned to a Hollywood Boulevard “chain gang,” she swept up syringes (and worse) as she bounced from rehabs to halfway houses, all while struggling with sobriety, sex addiction, and starting over in her forties.

In the tradition of Orange Is the New Black and Jerry Stahl’s Permanent Midnight, Amy Dresner’s My Fair Junkie is an insightful, darkly funny, and shamelessly honest memoir of one woman’s battle with all forms of addiction, hitting rock bottom, and forging a path to a life worth living…

Amy Dresner is a former professional stand-up comic, having appeared at The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, and The Improv.

She’s also written for the Good Men Project, The Frisky, Refinery 29, and has been a regular contributor to Addiction.com and PsychologyToday.com, where she has her own addiction blog entitled “Coming Clean.” “My Fair Junkie” is her debut book.

My Recovery Path has a “Dash of Zen” ~ From this Amazing EBook and personally knowing this Real Zen Master… “Find The Seeker! The pathless path to fulfillment and Happiness!! By Master, Genro Xuan Lou, Laoshi and Author, Cliff Stevens.

.

 

.

About Find The Seeker!

 

“This book addresses people of all faiths who suffer, are unhappy and seek to lead more fulfilling lives especially from addictions” …

This book entices readers with the vision of what we really are – Absolute, eternal and unconditional Being, whole and divine – which can only be directly experienced and embodied. It serves as a powerful wake-up call for those who mistakenly believe in their being separate from the Oneness and living in a state of duality, reminding us that the Kingdom of God is really within us.

Although written by a Zen Master and using some Zen stories, the focus is not on explaining Zen, its tenets or history. The book is in stark contrast to the majority of books which indulge in superficial descriptions or sayings and provide seemingly “precise” instructions, lists of goals or steps to take which trap us into continuing our dependency on intermediaries and religious institutions or our self-delusion of being less than we really are. Instead, accompanying the authors along the age-old pathless path we have always been on, we are called upon to empty ourselves and “drop” all our preconceptions and expectations and the limited “self” which thinks it has a life of its own, as well as the heavy backpack with all our experiences and learnings.

Through her first book, Expect Delays, Dr. Danielle Delaney shares with you the traumatic experiences of her assaults, and her journey of recovery and growth into the powerful woman and trauma expert that she is today.

Discover how to endure and to emerge victoriously!
.

My Book Review:

“Don’t Expect Delays Reading This Book, Just Sound Advice For Overcoming Trauma!”, April 9, 2018

This review is from: Expect Delays: How to Reclaim Your Life, Light, and Soul After Trauma (Paperback) Courtesy and signed by the author.

.

I was honored to receive a signed copy of Danielle’s book, what an amazing life she has had thus far. From the dedication page that came from the heart to the very last page, I couldn’t put this book down! I am a child sex abuse survivor myself and have been through much therapy, but the professional advice and techniques in this book, many will learn to rebuild their lives from traumatic events into a LIFE of peace and serenity. As trauma victims, we need to begin the journey of healing and come to learn “it wasn’t our fault.” That is when we can start the process of working through all the fear and shame, and begin to rebuild a beautiful life, and some in recovery as I turned to addiction as I was not raised to know help was available and it was “ok” to reach out for it.

 

Danielle’s book guides you through what is needed to accomplish this and SO much more. At times in her sharing of her life, it feels and reads as if you are “two girlfriends having coffee and just talking about life.” What she has endured, reading it is heartbreaking, but learning about her life today which includes her choice of “profession” to care and help others who have experienced the same path is a testament to the bravery she has, and the hard work she has done to overcome is AMAZING.

 

I don’t like to spoil a good book, but one of my areas in the book I felt most helpful was “Dangerous Curves Ahead: Caution!” And like her father would say: “if you weren’t tough, you would not still be here.”

 

That chapter and quote by her father hit me hard as I had turned to addiction when my pain came back from my childhood haunting me and had two failed suicide attempts from all the drama of it and learned I was suffering PTSD. Thankfully GOD stepped in, or I would not be here today.

 

Danelle’s book will help many and WILL save lives. What an incredible legacy to leave behind! Well written, easy to read and I commend the Author for a book well done. If you know anyone who has been victimized, has trauma or been through traumatic events? Please share this book with them. I know I will!
I highly suggest this read!

Meet My Friend, Amazing Best Selling Author, Award-Winning Writer of Several New Releases! Dr. Kevin T Coughlin PH.D. 

..

Author, Dr. Kevin Coughlin

.

About The New One:

Relapse Prevention; Long-Term Sobriety. Best-selling author Rev. Dr. Kevin T. Coughlin Ph.D. shares his experience, strength, and hope, as you travel a journey of lessons learned over two decades of recovery and many years working in the industry with him.
This workbook and manual are packed with information that will assist the newcomer as well as the old-timer in recovery. Successful relapse prevention is a process! Learning, developing, and using new skills, attitudes, beliefs, and values that help you to reach your life’s goals and objectives in recovery. Relapse prevention is about committing to a life of recovery and following an action plan to stay clean and sober.

Relapse does not need to happen in recovery from addiction if it does you move forward in recovery. Addiction is a disease and relapse can happen; however, to teach people that relapse is part of recovery, sets them up to fail. Many individuals recover from addiction without ever relapsing, it’s a choice. To use a drug, you must make a decision followed by an action.

Relapse is not a prerequisite! Addicts and alcoholics can get clean and sober the first time that they try and never look back. A relapse does not have to happen. In fact, if an addict or alcoholic works a modality or program of recovery giving 100% effort, they should not ever relapse. Any relapse could end in disaster! Anyone that has the miracle of recovery should do everything in their power not to ever relapse. It could cost them their lives!  Relapse Prevention; Long-Term Sobriety is the author’s eleventh book. This book is dedicated to the author’s long-time friend and mentor John Phelps.

AMAZING New Book: Dragons to Butterflies: The Metamorphosis of a Man
by Author, Johnnie Calloway…
.

        

.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Johnnie Calloway is a gifted storyteller and has written a superb personal account of his harrowing childhood and adult life. Although he retells his experiences of emotional and physical abuse, neglect, heartache, and betrayal, and later his own addictions and struggles with mental illness, he manages to keep the reader thoroughly engaged and inspired by his strength and wisdom throughout this page-turner.

Johnnie’s willingness to be soul-barrenly honest in this book as he traces his earliest memories into his teens and then adult years is truly unlike anything I have ever read. I have no doubt that his display of courage and his determination to go to any lengths necessary for his own healing will serve as a guiding light for countless readers. It is a story of hope and love, forgiveness and healing. I only wish it had been available when I was a practicing addictions counselor. I would have made it required reading!
