A complete, how-to guide to recovery, written with encouragement and a little humor. It brings together facts, resources and hard-won wisdom in a user-friendly format, with larger type, in-line illustrations and text boxes that make it comfortable to read, whether you skim it or study every section.
It pairs tried-and-true recovery methods with fresh, outside-the-box thinking, and helps you get clear on what you want your recovery to be.
Alongside proven recovery methods, Thriving Beyond Recovery introduces three original concepts designed to keep you aware, resilient and moving forward.
You're just starting your journey, or you're already well down your path.
You're recovering from drugs, or from any other addiction. The process of addiction and recovery is similar across all of them.
You're dealing with more than one addiction. Tackling them together shows your total commitment to recovery.
You want recovery to feel happy, joyous and free, not scary, sad and limited.


My own path to this work wasn't all academic. Emotional struggles once got in the way of my own athletic and musical pursuits. I've walked through my own recovery from addiction. Two failed marriages taught me what I needed to learn before I found the one that's lasted. And a long spiritual search led me to the truth I now build my life around.
Every one of those experiences shaped the proven approach I use today - one built to resolve what's keeping you stuck, reconnect you with your strengths and develop the confidence to perform at your best.
