Produktbeschreibung

This book, Addiction to Recovery: Unlocking Your Potential, is an accumulation of existential realization, many resources, years of recovery, education, insights, and years working in the field of addiction, with all adepts in the goal of personal transformation from addiction to recovery. This is an integrative approach to living in wellness of recovery. I vacated my own mind through deep personal process, my own form of meditation, and this book came about. My hope is this book unlocks the potential that advances new insight into the recovery process for each individual by reframing the process in such a way that the right interpretation by the reader will help recovery click into place. What we need to celebrate in recovery is the self-discovery of the individual. I offer my carefully considered overviews and assessments on the best-known treatments (theories) connected to recovery. I have provided a new outlook as a guide for the unwary who had failed at recovery in the past and those just coming into recovery for the first time. I count myself among the autodidacts, the self-taught perpetual student fueled by a passion for new answers and a sense of mission.

Autorenporträt

David E. McCauley began his journey and recovery in 1989. Became a member of a twelve-step group and began working in a hospital detox setting for years while earning his certification in alcohol and drug counseling as well as becoming a certified social worker. He later moved on to an outpatient facility then worked with the Division of Youth and Family Services before opening his own outpatient program (Life Skills Counseling) in 1998. After fifteen years in recovery, a single drink led to a major relapse, and in a matter of weeks, the blackouts occurred. McCauley woke up in a hospital surrounded by medical staff and police. He was later sent to prison for crime he does not remember committing. Thus began his journey anew to reclaim his life and recovery, doing a deep, inner soul-searching journey to answer the question of why this all happened. As he regained himself through reading and writing, his meticulous notes were kept on what worked and what doesn't. This book is a result of that journey.
