The Recovery Book - 2nd Edition (book)

Hi readers! Didn’t get too much further, but finished Ch 6. “A Closer Look at Detox and Withdrawal”. If I were reading this book just for myself and my own “drug of choice” - alcohol, I would probably skim past sections of this chapter that don’t apply. But since being involved in this forum, it’s good to understand what others are experiencing, so I’m reading all of it in more detail. A few things of note…

  • Page 99 mentions post-accute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) briefly. I checked the index and there is only one other mention of PAWS in the book, so if you want info on that, not much is here.

  • There are 2 pages of resources for “Suicide Prevention Crisis Intervention Hotlines” I’m pasting it below to bookmark for future reference for anyone looking for help…

  • @jaimelee and others looking for an inpatient/outpatient program, this book/chapters 5&6 has a very detailed guide on how to find and choose one.
