DOWNLOAD EBOOKClaire Hatwell is a wife, a mother of four and an advocate for sober living, having fought a battle with alcohol addiction and won. Addiction comes in many forms, there isn't a stereotypical addict or a certain way into recovery, and what works for one person won't necessarily work for all. Claire shares her personal experiences to give hope to those in situations similar to the one she was in. Her intention is to show those in need that there is a way out of addiction, a way for families to understand those close to them, and a way to see light at the end of the tunnel. Claire says, if she can get sober, anyone can, "There were so many years when I wondered about my drinking, but people like me don't have problems like that... or do they? Sometimes it's hard to admit something to others, and harder still to admit it to yourself."Having written the popular blog My Not So Secret Diary for the past few years, this is Claire's first book, and the story of her recovery and my journey to a life of sobriety. Claire has been sober since 2016.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Empathy Exams comes this transformative work showing that sometimes the recovery is more gripping than the addiction. With its deeply personal and seamless blend of memoir, cultural history, literary criticism, and reportage, The Recovering turns our understanding of the traditional addiction narrative on its head, demonstrating that the story of recovery can be every bit as electrifying as the train wreck itself. Leslie Jamison deftly excavates the stories we tell about addiction -- both her own and others' -- and examines what we want these stories to do and what happens when they fail us. All the while, she offers a fascinating look at the larger history of the recovery movement, and at the complicated bearing that race and class have on our understanding of who is criminal and who is ill. At the heart of the book is Jamison's ongoing conversation with literary and artistic geniuses whose lives and works were shaped by alcoholism and substance dependence, including John Berryman, Jean Rhys, Billie Holiday, Raymond Carver, Denis Johnson, and David Foster Wallace, as well as brilliant lesser-known figures such as George Cain, lost to obscurity but newly illuminated here. Through its unvarnished relation of Jamison's own ordeals, The Recovering also becomes a book about a different kind of dependency: the way our desires can make us all, as she puts it, "broken spigots of need." It's about the particular loneliness of the human experience-the craving for love that both devours us and shapes who we are. For her striking language and piercing observations, Jamison has been compared to such iconic writers as Joan Didion and Susan Sontag, yet her utterly singular voice also offers something new. With enormous empathy and wisdom, Jamison has given us nothing less than the story of addiction and recovery in America writ large, a definitive and revelatory account that will resonate for years to come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“An essential book for our times, full of wisdom, compassion and sound advice. Every patient needs a copy of this gem.” –Katherine May, author of Wintering and Enchantment A gentle, expert guide to the secrets of recovery, showing why we need it and how to do it better For many of us, time spent in recovery—from a broken leg, a virus, chronic illness, or the crisis of depression or anxiety—can feel like an unwelcome obstacle on the road to health. Modern medicine too often assumes that once doctors have prescribed a course of treatment, healing takes care of itself. But recovery isn’t something that “just happens.” It is an act that we engage in and that has the potential to transform our lives, if only we can find ways to learn its rhythms and invest our time, energy, and participation. Drawing on thirty years of medicine, and on insights from practitioners, psychologists, and writers across history, physician Gavin Francis delivers a profound, practical, and deeply hopeful guide to recovery. Rejecting the idea that healing is passive, Recovery offers tools and wisdom for convalescence, and shows how tending to our bodies, environments, and perspectives can help us move through the landscape of illness—and come out the other side whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith the phenomenal growth of Alcoholics Anonymous & the vast number of other 12-Step programs that have evolved from it, the "recovery movement" has attained epic status. People are "recovering" from everything from overeating to sexual addictions - most of them engaging in the 12-steps in order to heal. Those experts that have attained a degree of fame, the "Recovery Stars," get thousands of dollars for speaking about their own "recovery" experiences. The recovery movement has become a billion dollar industry & a major facet of our current culture. Recovery is a subculture of shared values, the highest & noblest of which is "serenity." Recovery is not only proposed as a means of conquering an addition, but also a way of saving your life & achieving a higher level of being. In this detailed, well-researched book, however, author Andrew Meacham questions the processes that the 12-Step programs & in fact, the entire recovery movement employ. Why does the medical profession qualify all these addictions as "diseases," & why is the insurance industry so quick to pay for treatment? Meacham attempts to answer these questions & many more that the recovery movement raises. He attempts to define addiction & disease, & cites various studies used to support recovery idealogy, pointing out the misapplication of their results that often leads to over generalization & false claims. He discusses the paradox between the "written word" of individuality within the recovery movement & the unwritten universal stories that recovery gurus use to take away the individual's power.
