Ordinary Recovery: Mindfulness, Addiction, And The Path Of Lifelong Sobriety
Author: William Alexander
Foreword: Kevin Griffin
Overview
Lasting freedom from addiction is found not in extraordinary experiences, but in the simplicity of the present moment. In Ordinary Recovery, William Alexander weaves together mindfulness, meditation, and the Twelve Steps to show how cultivating nonjudgmental awareness can become a powerful antidote to relapse and a path toward lifelong sobriety.
This revised edition of his earlier book Cool Water includes a new preface, updated insights, a foreword by Kevin Griffin (One Breath at a Time), and a helpful resources section. With clarity and compassion, Alexander reminds us that the healing we seek is always available in the here and now.
