Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul

Whether you are new to recovery or have already experienced profound healing, consider this book your personal support group. Underscoring the tenacity of the human spirit, these stories will provide you with the inspiration for change as others in the recovery community share their true experiences of lives reclaimed, relationships renewed and futures full of promise.

Today, the recovering lifestyle has been embraced and celebrated by millions. The silence which once enveloped dysfunctional families or victims of trauma has been broken, and the shame felt by those suffering with behavioral disorders, depression and addictions has turned into a sense of accomplishment and pride. More than 700,000 Americans receive treatment for alcoholism or substance abuse on any given day, support groups meet daily in every corner of the world and the Internet hums with people supporting each other in recovery chat rooms.

Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul will introduce you to these people. You’ll share their setbacks and successes, their doubts and determination, their triumphs big and small. You’ll applaud their resiliency and find the motivation for your own personal growth.

Whether you are just embracing a commitment to recovery or have already experienced life-affirming change, Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul will be a source of wisdom and encouragement. Like having your own portable support group, it’s a constant reminder that you are never alone.
