Description
When the substances that once defined your life are gone, it's time to focus on the next step towards recovery: emotional sobriety. Allen Berger, PhD, offers a fresh approach to achieving this goal, drawing on the teachings of Bill W. and psychotherapy pioneers. His book explores twelve hallmarks of emotional sobriety, including understanding your own identity, learning to let go of others' reactions, and trusting your inner compass.
By practicing these "smart" things, you'll gain the confidence to take responsibility for your behavior, ask for what you need, and grow into a deeper trust in life. This is not about replacing one addiction with another, but about finding release from the dependency on people or circumstances that once held you back. With this book, you'll discover the tools to find prestige, security, and belonging within.
