From 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.

Our Daily Weird: Quirky Observations in Recovery, is my offbeat devotional book geared toward people struggling with addiction or alcoholism. Some of it is irreverent, some funny, some disturbing. Topics address isolation, fear, selfishness, peace, and insanity. The concepts are illustrated by a host of odd thoughts on anything from vampires to mother's kisses. Each page is put in a colorful frame of stories about childhood memories, mythological characters, & more. While the subject is serious, the strange and absurd stories have been the most helpful to me. Laughing at the mirror has been a huge part of my healing, and I want to share that with others.

Drawing on many case studies and extensive personal experience, Denzin investigates and analyzes the phenomenology of drinking and alcoholism. He considers: the factors which make alcoholics seek treatment; the social stigmas which face the recovering alcoholic; and other difficulties which hinder the recovery process. He also outlines the ways in which groups like Alcoholics Anonymous are effective.

Recovery from Alcoholism & Addiction, Volume 1 is a compilation of the first three of five booklets written by Robert C. Hickle, M.A. between 1976 and 1980. Drawing on 40 years of experience where he developed employee assistance programs in both the railroad and manufacturing industries. Counseling hundreds of alcoholics and addicts Bob developed his own way of seeing the alcoholic/addict, their families, the addictions profession, and society's view of alcohol. His unique view starts from having had parents who were both alcoholic then raised by his grandmother who was a teetotaler and a member of the Women's Temperance League. If you asked him, he would tell you he never had even a sip of alcohol believing that if he did, he'd go down the same road as his parent. This was quite an accomplishment given that Bob served in both Army and Navy during WW II. Additionally, he served on several boards and committees during the initial development of alcoholism treatment programs in the State of Iowa while also being a Boy Scout Leader, an active member of the Methodist Church and an avid outdoorsman. His booklets contain his words of wisdom in short chapters with pithy titles like: "Alcoholics Lie a Lot," "Sober and In Trouble," "It's The Progression That Fools Us" as he relates his observations, experiences, and perspectives as he worked mostly with alcoholics. Always coming from the perspective of caring about the alcoholic, seeing himself as much as a student learning from the alcoholic about the nature and course of alcoholism and its recovery. I was fortunate to be a friend of his for several years then as he prepared for retirement. I, not being one to mince words, asked him what would happen to his booklets after he died. "I guess they'll die with me" was his response. It was at that point I offered to keep his works alive by keeping them in print first only as a book then as eBooks, Kindle, and now audiobooks. Making allowances for the time in which he wrote and recognizing that most of his work was with alcoholics you'll find they have endured the test of time and that what he wrote can easily be applied to any addictive behavior. You will enjoy his writing, finding as he said, "I write the way I talk," clear, to- the-point and jargon-free.

Volume 1 of Alcoholism and Addiction Recovery presented the first 3 or 5 booklets authored by Robert C. Hickle. This work, Volume 2 presents the remaining 2. Entitled "Pearl of Great Price" and "Keeping It Simple" broadens and deepens an accounting of Bob's experiences, observations, perceptions, and opinions about alcoholism and by extension, drug, and other addictions, those who suffer from them, and how help/recovery can be reached. With chapter titles like, "Dry For 15 Years, Happy For Three Months" and "Stop Being Part Of The Problem" and "Alcohol Is Not The Problem" and finally, "We've Got To Go At It Backwards" Bob presents what he has learned from alcoholics, addicts and their families over his 40 plus year career. Straight talk, jargon-free, and down-to-earth are the hallmarks of his writing style as he tries to flesh out the complicated problems of alcoholism and addiction into practical, everyday terms and concepts so any alcoholic, addict, their family, and counseling professional can use to supplement their path to recovery.
