Breaking through shame and denial is essential for any addict who wants to recover, but no one can overcome them on their own. "Your Addict" may have you in a stranglehold of secrecy and self-loathing right now, but it doesn't have to be that way. There is a solution - and it's called recovery. While it may be a daunting prospect to take those first honest steps toward freedom, it's a lot easier when you've got a compassionate guide to walk alongside you. Addiction therapist and fellow recovering addict Emily Sussman invites you to sling your stinky, callused Addict feet over her warm-and-fuzzy ottoman of Unconditional Love, where you'll be met with understanding, acceptance, and hope. Written and illustrated with warmth, wisdom, and dynamic storytelling for addicts of all sorts, The Addict's Guide to Recovery is about much more than getting sober. It's about sparking your desire to love and live as Your True Self. Chapters include: Your Addict vs. Your True Self; A Drug Is a Drug Is a Drug; Recovery Means Learning How to Love; Sobriety Is a Process; Willpower and Control; The Craving Will Pass; Rebounding From Relapse; The Gift of Desperation; Meetings: Misery, Medicine, or Magic?; and Good, Orderly Direction... plus much more. This overview of the process of recovery is the first volume of The Addict's Guide to the Universe series, a holistic approach to helping recovering addicts heal, grow, and understand themselves. Other volumes in the series will address love, emotions, relationships, and self-actualization.

No child grows up too quickly. Children who regularly experience trauma are exposed to more than they are capable of processing. As a result, they often present a facade which falsely conveys that they are more secure and mature than they really are. The consequences of such assumptions are potentially harmful to their health, development, and well-being.Just Enough Light is much more than a story chronicling the impact of divorce on a child raised by a parent suffering from mental illness, incapable of providing the necessary material and emotional support for her children. It is a tribute to the triumphant power of belief and the will to emerge from the despair of drug addiction, violence, anxiety, and depression; and ultimately persevere.What makes this story so compelling is that it is presented from a unique perspective. As each experience unfolds from childhood through adolescence, it is presented through the mindset of the child's age at the time. Both gut-wrenching and touching, it reaffirms the resilient nature of the human spirit and the truth that change and redemption are always possible. Perhaps the most important message of this story is how it affirms the transformative power of human connection through intentional acts of grace.

Born into a turbulent and dysfunctional family-and surrounded by adults who were regularly using marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, heroin and crystal meth-Nick Terry TNT bounced around the Pacific Northwest throughout the 1980s, going to 13 different schools before being expelled in 10th grade. By his teens, Nick had entered a life of addiction and crime and was desperate to escape before ending up dead or in prison. To avoid pending legal charges, Nick fled to Hawaii where he became a father-but his unchecked drug use continued to eat away at his life and family. After multiple attempts at sobriety through traditional treatment and 12-Step recovery, Nick found success through full surrender and commitment to the process-but after four years of sobriety, he hit a wall. A breakthrough came when he discovered breathwork, which he came to believe is the missing piece of the recovery puzzle. In Breath of Life: Finding Long-Term Recovery with Breathwork and Stepwork, Nick shares how he transformed from wayward addict to breathwork and recovery life coach, and offers his holistic, much-needed perspective on how others can do the same. In homage to the Big Book of AA, Breath of Life is divided into sections explaining: ¿ Nick's harrowing, decades-long battle with addiction and what turned it around ¿ 8 spiritual principles of lasting recovery blending holistic teachings and traditional stepwork ¿ A beginner's approach to breathwork and morning routines (used by Nick himself) ¿ Firsthand stories from recovering addicts who have benefitted from Nick's approach ¿ A breathwork appendix with conscious breathing, cyclical sighing and Breath of Life exercises (and more) In the end, Breath of Life draws on 12-Step teachings, ancient spiritual wisdom, modern science and Nick's raw life experience to forge an effective and holistic new recovery path. The result is a genre-defying, holistic recovery handbook that synthesizes all existing paradigms, all while adding a much needed breath of fresh air.

For thirty-seven years, Mel Steinmeyer lived in a prison of addiction to pornography. As a follower of Jesus, and then a pastor, Mel battled strenuously to control his addiction. And, although he might have become better at battling and controlling it, he knew he was living on borrowed time and that failure was always right around the corner. Then one day, as Mel cried out to God for true and real freedom, Jesus answered him: "Mel, you're already free. You just haven't realized it yet." That very week, Mel realized that freedom. That was over six years ago, and Mel has walked in complete and total freedom ever since. In fact, Mel has discovered that not only does he feel free (because freedom should feel free), but that it's been relatively easy to continue to walk in freedom. Yet, as Mel pondered why it took so long to walk in freedom, God showed him that he did not have a pornography problem as much as a faith problem and that he had been, all along, leading him on a journey so he finally could believe. This is Mel's journey, his Journey to Freedom, and he shares it with you (no holds barred) so you too can believe for your freedom no matter what your addiction, past, failures, or circumstances scream otherwise. In other words, this can be YOUR Journey to Freedom, and Victory from Addiction Is Closer than You Think!

When you are suffering from an addiction, it can feel like your entire life is out of control and you have no power to overcome it. When you are addicted to something, it can also feel like you're completely alone and have nowhere to turn. These are all common mindsets for someone who has an addiction to any substance, whether that is food, cigarettes or other tobacco products, alcohol, prescription, or illegal drugs or even sex. But neither are you alone in your addiction nor do you have to be a slave to addiction for the rest of your life. That's exactly why this book exists. It is very easy to feel like you are the only one who is experiencing your particular addiction - or the level of addiction you're experiencing - but the truth is, millions of other people experience the same thing you are suffering from. That's because addiction affects more than 10% of the United States population. That means if you were to get on a typical city bus there are probably two or three people on that bus - besides you - that are suffering from some kind of addiction. Don't fool yourself either; having a food addiction or being unable to quit drinking alcohol is the same as an addiction to a drug or any other substance. Addiction is addiction, no matter what the substances.
