Too many of us need better solutions and tips on recovery from substances. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) holds some important keys. This book is about a true-life experience as recited by the author in a first-person-narrative-style regarding a "Section-35" (31 day government forced recovery plan) and what was learned about life; new tools, new outlooks, and all based around Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). The book is written partly in conversational-form and partly prose. Examples and language can be R-rated because, well, life in a Section-35 is essentially life in a form of jail complete with the requisite jail-mate-characters. Some of the stories are humorous and all encourage self introspection. Heart wrenching at times, hysterical at times, but always with serious meaning and suggestions of how to look at life...from a cognitive behavior perspective.

The Book Street Addicts is a therapeutic memoir of street addiction. The use of the term "Street" is defined and displayed as a way of life and/or lifestyle. It's targeted to young adults and the like who are consciously and subconsciously addicted to cultural traits that are identified as a lifestyle and to defiant traits that are esteemed heroic and which glorify being "street," criminality and subcultures. Street-prone teens partake in lawlessness and the forbidden fruits that have become so rewarding that the behavior is now a dependence (The Addiction) causing our youth (The Addicts) to continuously live the street life (The Disorder), a condition characterized by patterns of thinking, personality and behavior that created an unhealthy compulsion to exist and belong. Across the United States, this teen hereditary or adopted lifestyle has become dangerously habitual-beyond the natural measure of control. This book describes the start, process and treatment; it provides everything it took for this bona fide street addict, as well as others, to recover from Street Addiction. This is our Streets Anonymous.

This book is about my journey from brokenness to wholeness as a child. I survived physical and sexual abuse. As I got older I found comfort in the bottle. I became a drunk I made the rounds of the hospitals, detox, and the jails. I rode with motorcycle gangs. I hit bottom when I thought about suicide. I have gotten better in 12 step recovery meetings. I allowed God and the 12 steps to change me into a sober, loving, and gentle person. I hope my book will help others.

Millions of alcoholics and addicts recover through spirituality. In The Soul of Recovery: Uncovering the Spiritual Dimension in the Treatment of Addictions, author and journalist Christopher D. Ringwald tells how and why they seek and achieve these transformations. Ranging as far back as the Washingtonian Total Abstinence Society in 1840, Ringwald illuminates the use of spirituality within a wide range of treatment options--from the famous Twelve Step-style programs to those tailored to the needs of addicted women, Native Americans, or homeless teens not ready to quit. Focusing on the results rather than the validity of beliefs espoused by these programs, he demonstrates how addicts recover through practices such as self-examination, meditation, prayer and reliance on a self-defined higher power. But the most compelling evidence of spirituality's importance comes from those directly involved in the process. Ringwald traveled across the country to visit dozens of programs and interview hundreds of addicts, alcoholics, counselors, family members, doctors and scientists. Many share moving stories of suffering, survival, and redemption. A homeless man, a surgeon, a college student, a working mother-each describes the descent into addiction and how spirituality offered a practical, personal means to recovery. Ringwald also examines the controversies surrounding faith-based treatment and the recovery movement, from the conflict between science and spirituality, to skepticism about the "new age" brand of spirituality these programs encourage, to constitutional issues over court-mandated participation in allegedly religious treatment programs. Combining in-depth research with powerful personal accounts, this fascinating exploration of spirituality will provide a fuller understanding of the nature of addiction and how people overcome it.

Everyone 'knows' what addiction is and what should be done for it. But as this book shows, individual experience cannot apply universally. The psychology of denial is the most devastating feature of addiction. This book offers much practical guidance - the entire emphasis of the book is on what works and why some approaches do not work.

After surviving nearly a decade of heroin abuse and hard living on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, Tracey Helton Mitchell decided to get clean for good. With raw honesty and a poignant perspective on life that only comes from starting at rock bottom, The Big Fix tells her story of transformation from homeless heroin addict to stable mother of three—and the hard work and hard lessons that got her there. Rather than dwelling on the pain of addiction, Tracey focuses on her journey of recovery and rebuilding her life, while exposing the failings of the American rehab system and laying out a path for change. Starting with the first step in her recovery, Tracey re-learns how to interact with men, build new friendships, handle money, and rekindle her relationship with her mother, all while staying sober, sharp, and dedicated to her future. A decidedly female story of addiction, The Big Fix describes the unique challenges faced by women caught in the grip of substance abuse, such as the toxic connection between drug addition and prostitution. Tracey’s story of hope, hard work, and rehabilitation will inspire anyone who has been affected by substance abuse while offering hope for a better future.
