Deep down inside, each of us knows what our truths are.
It is forgivable to lose them...
it is unforgivable not to reclaim them...
"Mountain Air: Relapsing And Finding The Way Back One Breath At A
Time" is a brutally honest personal narrative detailing a painful
decent into relapse and a powerful journey back to recovering.
Without condemnation but with passion and purpose, Mountain Air
...
Embraces individuals who have abandoned their authentic ways of
being for a life of personal neglect, indulgence, or
self-destruction. Speaks to individuals who have betrayed their
healing tenets - the addict who has lost his sobriety, the abused
who has returned to her abuser, or the codependent who continues to
rescue the uncontrollable. Reaches out to individuals who have
maintained a life of stability and wellness, but who are eroding
over time - and losing their sense of self and of spirit.
Mountain Air is for any individual who has experienced relapse and
who is fighting to find his way back... By inviting readers to take
a journey with the author as she shares time-tested lessons in the
recovering process. By providing thoughtful and accountable
exercises with each chapter that guide the reader in the reclaiming
and sustaining of their truths.
Praise for Kenley's "Mountain Air"
..".a personal memoir out of which she extracts principles that
can be generalized to all who are in recovery, inspiring them to
take courage. This poetic and nature-infused account should become
a standard for all therapists and all in the process of
recovery."
--David Van Nuys, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Host of
Shrink Rap Radio
"With Holli's inspiring personal journey from relapse to recovery
and her challenging questions in each chapter, the reader can
examine self-defeating behaviors and beliefs that block the natural
ability to walk through change, pain, and difficult times."
--Melissa Yarbray, M.A., Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed
Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor

This book is a story or series of stories about people. People in
prison: some are employees, but most are inmates. This book is
their story. In prison everyone has a story and most want to tell
their story. The main problem is to get someone to listen. It is
often a story of violence, a story of loneliness, and in many cases
the horror of the unknown. This book is the result of countless
hours of listening to story by story of hatred. Countless days
(indeed years) about plans for that "day" when they get out. This
book is the "Boiling Down" of the American version of 'Crime And
Punishment'. Hopefully someone will see a ray of hope in the human
predicament called Crime.
Most drinkers are convinced that it's almost impossible to stop
drinking and to free themselves from addiction; they also feel
unable to solve any of the widespread problems drinking causes. The
wonderful news is that this book shows them how to stop
immediately, painless and permanently.

'What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I
do wrong?' Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every
moment of David Sheff's journey through his son Nic's addiction to
drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic Sheff became
addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny,
a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger
siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole,
and lived on the streets. With haunting candour, David Sheff traces
the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the 3am phone calls (is
it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the attempts at rehab. His
preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the
obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a
journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment
that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. This story
is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view
- a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance
abuse and the gradual emergence into hope. Beautiful Boy is a
fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional
rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help. Read the
other side of Nic Sheff's bestselling memoir, Tweak. Praise for
Beautiful Boy:- 'A brilliant, harrowing, heartbreaking, fascinating
story, full of beautiful moments and hard-won wisdom. This book
will save a lot of lives and heal a lot of hearts'. Anne Lamott 'An
important book... moving, timely and startlingly beautiful.'

In "Women and Recovery: Sex, Sobriety and Stepping Up," Ann D.
Clark, Ph.D, provides readers with a no-nonsense, step-by-step
guide to giving up anything. Clark explains how to conquer
additions using a lighthearted approach. Addressing such problems
as substance abuse, overeating, shopping, or simply patterns in
relationships, she gives her practical tips from a very relatable
and realistic experience: her own. The journey into recovered
living and self-knowledge is the purpose for this collection of
experiences, and the suggestions found in " Women and Recovery" can
make that journey smoother and more enduring for readers and their
loved ones.
Whether you are dependent on relationships, food, drama, drugs,
alcohol, or the alcoholic, this guide offers assistance. You do not
have to have used drugs to experience the pain of withdrawal-sugar,
food, relationships, or even caffeine will do. "Women and Recovery"
is for those who seek to improve their quality of life, obtain a
lasting and significant relationship, and gain practical
advice.
Pastor and director of re:generation--one of the largest and most effective Christ-centered, community-based recovery programs in the world--offers a 90-day addiction-breaking, spiritual-awakening process for readers to walk in daily freedom from sin struggles.
Every church is filled with people who are struggling--often secretly--with addictions of all kinds. Porn, pills, food, money, alcohol, social media, body image, status, sex, anxiety--the list goes on and on. John Elmore is no stranger to addiction. Fifteen years ago, he put a loaded shotgun to his head and later had three doctors tell him he was going to die of alcoholism. More than 15 sober years later, he leads the world's largest weekly recovery gathering, re:generation, where people journey toward healing in Christ.
In Freedom Starts Today, he makes a huge promise to the addicted: you can be free from your struggle, and much sooner than you may think. Through easily digestible readings grounded in Scripture and the practice of daily surrender, Elmore shows you how to break the cycle of addiction, make war against sin, and find your identity in who you are and not the shame of what you have done--one day at a time.
Leave behind struggles, addiction, and shame as you walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the love, mercy, and forgiveness of the God who is not only by your side but on your side.
