"A classic. Read it. Use it. It can help guide you step by step
into the bright light of the world of recovery." --from the
Foreword by Harry Haroutunian, M.D., Physician Director, Betty Ford
Center "The Recovery Book is the Bible of recovery. Everything you
need to know you will find in here." --Neil Scott, host, Recovery
Coast to Coast radio Hope, support, and a clear road map for people
with drug or alcohol addiction. Announcing a completely revised and
updated second edition of The Recovery Book, the Bible of addiction
recovery. The Recovery Book provides a direct and easy-to-follow
road map to every step in the recovery process, from the momentous
decision to quit to the emotional, physical, and spiritual issues
that arise along the way. Its comprehensive and effective advice
speaks to people with addiction, their loved ones, and addiction
professionals who need a proven, trusted resource and a supportive
voice. The new edition of The Recovery Book features the
revolutionary Recovery Zone System, which divides a life in
recovery into three chronological zones and provides guidance on
exactly what to do in each zone. First is the Red Zone, where the
reader is encouraged to stop everything, activate their recovery
and save their life. Next is the Yellow Zone, where the reader can
begin to rebuild a life that was torn apart by addiction. Finally,
the reader reaches the Green Zone, where he can enjoy a life a
recovery and help others. Readers also learn how to use the
Recovery Zone ReCheck, a simple, yet very effective relapse
prevention tool. The Recovery Zone System works hand-in-hand with
the 12-step philosophy and all other recovery methods. In addition,
The Recovery Book covers new knowledge about addiction mechanisms
and neuroplasticity, explaining how alcohol and drugs alter the
brain. The authors outline a simple daily practice, called TAMERS,
that helps people to use those same processes to "remold their
brains" around recovery, eventually making sobriety a routine way
of life. Written by Al J. Mooney, M.D., a recovery activist who
speaks internationally on recovery, and health journalists
Catherine Dold and Howard Eisenberg, The Recovery Book covers all
the latest in addiction science and recovery methods. In 26
chapters and over 600 pages, The Recovery Book tackles issues such
as: Committing to Recovery: Identifying and accepting the problem;
deciding to get sober. Treatment Options: Extensive information on
all current options, and how to choose a program. AA and other
12-Step Fellowships: How to get involved in a mutual-support group
and what it can do for you. Addiction Science and Neuroplasticity:
How alcohol and drugs alter pathways in the brain, and how to use
the same processes to remold the brain around recovery. Relapse
Prevention: The Recovery Zone ReCheck, a simple new technique to
anticipate and avoid relapses. Rebuilding Your Life: How to handle
relationships, socializing, work, education, and finances. Physical
and Mental Health: Tips for getting healthy; how to handle common
ailments. Pain Control: How to deal with pain in recovery; how to

care. Family and Friends: How you can help a loved one with
addiction, and how you can help yourself. Raising Substance-Free
Kids: How to "addiction-proof" your child. The Epidemic of
Prescription Drugs: Now a bigger problem than illegal drugs. Dr. Al
J. Mooney has been helping alcoholics and addicts get their lives
back for more than thirty years, using both his professional and
personal experiences at his family's treatment center, Willingway,
and most recently through his work as medical director for The
Healing Place of Wake County (NC), a homeless shelter. The Recovery
Book will help millions gain control of their mind, their body,
their life, and their happiness. www.TheRecoveryBook.com
