Summary:
Are you sabotaging your own recovery? To grow in recovery, we must
grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and
facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our
sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery
as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which
include: • confusing self-concern with selfishness• not making
amends• using the program to try to become perfect• not getting help
for relationship troubles• believing that life should be easy In
simple, down-to-earth language, Allen Berger explores the twelve most
commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.
He then provides tools for working through these problems in daily
life. This useful guide offers fresh perspectives on how the process
of change begins with basic self-awareness and a commitment to
working a daily program.
