Resumen del Editor

A UNIQUELY HOLISTIC AND JOYFUL APPROACH TO BREAKING FREE FROM ADDICTION AND COMPULSION

Substance abuse issues have worsened dramatically in recent years, with alcohol and drug addiction soaring. Our collective anxiety also shows up in many other insidious ways—from overeating to mindless scrolling to excessive online spending and more. Whether you are on the path of recovery, taking your first step in that direction, or simply feeling adrift and unmoored, Recovering You offers a lifeline to the discovery of a new and better way of being.

Steven Washington shares his story of growing up around alcoholism and going into recovery for his own drug and alcohol addiction. But the heart and soul of this book is his process of guiding listeners through fear, shame, and regret and into community and gratitude. Self-massage, breathing, meditation, and, uniquely, a focus on qigong—the ancient movement practice at the heart of Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophy—liberate, energize, and soothe. Washington designed this book to cast a warm and clarifying light on what you most need to care for your body and soul.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Compassionate, clear, intimate, and insightful, this book truly encompasses a full spectrum of wisdom and practical guidance for anyone in recovery who is looking for something more, something a little deeper, something that will enhance and add to the traditional approach to healing addiction. It addresses not just the mind, heart, and spirit but also the body. Each chapter takes you into one aspect of the sobriety journey and then invites you to embody the energy through specific movements. Those exercises provide the missing link, the key to experiencing a genuine but gentle breakthrough and allowing the healing, epiphanies, and intuitive knowing to be integrated and become undeniable. You find yourself on a bridge toward knowing that hope is tangible and real and that new beginnings open up to extraordinary potential and possibility as faith and forgiveness lead the way to freedom. As a person with long-term sobriety, I have read many books on recovery over the years, but I can honestly say this book stands out as my ultimate favorite, a much-needed guide for our modern times. Highly recommended.” — Colette Baron-Reid, author, educator, speaker, and artist
