This highly personal, intriguing memoir gives hope and
encouragement to those struggling with addiction and the ones who
love them.
In this grippingly honest narrative about one man's journey from
alcoholism and self-destruction to recovery and a changed life,
readers will be dismayed at the hurtful patterns of his two
alcoholic parents and how they scarred and shaped the outcome of
their three sons forever. Watts openly talks of his multiple failed
marriages, strained relationships with his children, overwhelming
business losses, and the self-loathing and guilt that plagued him
for years.
In spite of all of this, Jack held on to the conviction he made
more than seventeen years ago never to drink again. Believing that
the truth will set him free, Jack sets out to uncover dark secrets
from his past that have made his life a wasteland. With nothing to
salvage but his name, Jack decides to do the next right thing,
regardless of what that might be, leaving the outcome in God's
hands.
A story like this is one that continues throughout a lifetime. The
glimpses shared in these pages will inspire you to be honest about
your own demons and provide hope for a fulfilled and joyful life
beyond the shackles of addiction.
Jack Watts' startling personal story of being victimized by
religious abuse and then sinking into alcoholism and
self-destructive behaviors will resonate strongly with the many
thousands of those who have been disenfranchised or even crushed by
institutionalized religion. "Recovering from Religious Abuse "will
help these walking wounded discover how to come to terms with their
past as they heal from the inside out.
Jack speaks to his readers as one who has been there, has felt
their pain and bitterness, their desire to get even, their belief
that they are worthless. But now he shares a new story of one who
has finally found spiritual freedom and a deeply satisfying
relationship with the God from whom he had once been alienated.
Defining "religious abuse" as the use of spiritual authority to
manipulate, harm, or use another person for personal gain, this
practical step-by-step recovery manual takes readers on a journey
that helps them fully realize the extent of the impact of their
religious abuse, and progressively moves them toward healing and
recovery. This 91-day plan includes daily readings, prayer,
journaling instructions, and scriptures for reflection.
