"Abstinence from alcohol and other drugs is only the beginning of
sobriety. It's the ticket to get into the theater, not the movie we
are going to see." -- Passages Through Recovery
One of the most important things we learn in recovery is that
there really is a way out of all the misery--if we know which way
to go. But abstinence from alcohol and other drugs is just the
beginning of our journey, not our destination. And, that journey
can be a rough one if we don't know what lies ahead.
Based on the experiences of thousands of recovering men and
women, "Passages Through Recovery" presents an action plan for
preventing relapse, on that can help us understand how recovery
works and what is needed to move from active addiction to
sobriety.
Gorski's pioneering work describes six stages of recovery from
chemical dependency and offers sound advice for working through the
challenges of each stage--challenges that can create frustration
and lead to relapse.
"Passages through Recovery" clearly demonstrates that sobriety
is more than just healing the damage. "It's a way of thinking,
acting, and relating to others,"Gorski writes, "that promotes
continued physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health.
The skills necessary for long-term sobriety are all directed at
finding meaning and purpose in life."
Use this book as a compass in your recovery to help you stay on
course.
