Hey guys,
I’m having a really rough week and hoping you may have advice on good books about recovery? I’m just in a bad head space and could use some encouraging words to focus on. Thank you in advance for any help!

I would recommend The Recovering by Leslie Jamison and In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate. Hope your week improves!

Thank you!!!
Feeling better already, feel a bit silly for not reaching out for help more often, the couple times I have you guys are always full of useful advice. I really appreciate it, I’ll have to get more comfortable asking for help and maybe get to meeting or two also. Thanks again!

Cool, I didn’t know that - Thank you!
This is an easy read and relatable to women in particular. I couldn’t put it down and go back to it when I’m struggling.

I get it. There are some Traditions violations. But it helps a shit ton of people that may not have been reached otherwise. I’ve seen interviews with him and I believe he is genuinely trying to help people

Yeah no doubt about it…I think he’s a nice dude and pretty clever with a great sense of humour…If the money goes to AA then I’m all for it…but I’m afraid it doesn’t…you’re right though that it’s reaching a lot of people…And I’m being an ignorant prick about it…I don’t even know that it doesn’t say that it’s based on 12 steps in the book…
