Poignant and moving stories from recovering addicts about how the unconditional love of their pets brought them from the horrors of active addiction to a life filled with hope and healing. Includes information on the disease of addiction with supporting medical research data throughout. For the past twenty-five years, professionals have been making amazing discoveries concerning pets, animals, and the treatment of disease. They have found that while a pet can be a good friend, a close partner, and a comforting companion, it can also lower your blood pressure and heart rate, ease anxiety and stress, lessen depression, and have an impact on other illnesses in myriad ways. When used therapeutically, pets have been shown to help many people, including recovering addicts, with issues of honesty, control, anger, hostility, trust, and self-esteem, as well as experiencing the healing power of unconditional love. Tails of Recovery is a narrative examination of the disease of addiction, its effects on the pets in addicts' lives before and after recovery, and how pets aid the recovery and healing process.

Nancy Schenck has over twenty years of publishing experience. She has worked as a copywriter and editor and is currently the Managing Editor for Central Recovery Press. After losing her best dog friend, Happy, in a tragic event when she was fifteen, Schenck descended into the life of an out-of-control drug addict until she almost died of an overdose in 1982. She has been in recovery since and found the strength to write her first book, Tails of Recovery, as part of the grieving process for her pet she lost over forty years ago.
