Synopsis:
Early in our recovery journey, we focused on healing. Further along in the process of recovering, we dare to believe it's possible to embark on a new chapter, but often feel stuck. At times, we wonder... how do we create the breakthroughs we want? With a mindfulness practice - meditation and other habits of awareness - we develop the courage to look within. As we hold space for ourselves, we find the light within that can spark change, personal growth, and self-compassion. Mindfulness is an irreplaceable part of the health and healing toolkit because it illuminates our true selves; as a result, it illuminates our recovery. Conyers gives us an approachable mindfulness book with carefully designed reflections and practices that set us on a path forward. Her insight guides our way whether recovering from unhealthy relationships, addictions of all types, compulsive habits, anxiety and stress, workaholism, disordered eating, or mental health and emotional challenges - and whether we follow the Twelve Steps or not. Discover why Beverly Conyers' books have been a mainstay for support groups the world over, and why so many have turned to her insights and guidance. As the author of the recovery classic Addict in the Family, she has inspired hope and healing in a way few others have managed to match.
About the Author:
Beverly Conyers, MA, is an editor and freelance writer who lives in New England. She is also the author of Addict in the Family, Everything Changes, and The Recovering Heart. David Sheff, bestselling author of Beautiful Boy, wrote of Conyers' first book: "When my eldest son became addicted to crystal meth and heroin, I could barely function. I would not have survived without Beverly Conyers' Addict in the Family, which provided guidance and hope. I realized I wasn't alone on my hellish journey. The book helped me get through interminable nights when I was terrified that his addiction would take his life. It offered a path to healing."
