Synopsis

<p><em>Make no mistake about the intention of the guidance offered in this book. This is not just another ""nice recovery book""--one that you read and then put aside, hopefully taking away a few good thoughts. My intention is that the material offered here should be chewed, pulled apart, scrutinised, and internalised. This book is designed to be worked. It is intended to provide support, insights, and exercises that will do something about the high relapse rate of people starting recovery.</em></p><p> -Earnie Larsen, From the introduction</p><p> In this invaluable guide, renowned author and lecturer Earnie Larsen brings you a portable recovery aftercare program that you can easily integrate into your personal life ...and take with you anywhere you go. </p><p> <em>Now That You’re Sober</em> is an all-purpose, year-long compendium of recovery wisdom and inspiration to help those who are newly sober focus on practical applications of Twelve Step principles. Like a traditional aftercare program, it is designed to keep the basics of recovery front and centre in your consciousness, as it is the loss of this awareness that causes relapse. In his characteristic down-to-earth, tell-it-like-it-is style, Larsen serves as your recovery coach, providing guidance and inspiration when you feel vulnerable in your sobriety, and helping you to move past common stumbling blocks and flourish in your daily life. Each of his fifty-two entries includes a motivational essay, or pep talk, centred on a key element of recovery, followed by personal, practical, actionable steps to help you refocus on the concepts and behaviours that are essential in a recovering person's life. </p>
