📘 About the Book
Celebrated as “the Bible of recovery,” The Recovery Book is a comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based guide that leads readers step-by-step from the chaos of addiction to the freedom of long-term sobriety.
This newly revised and expanded second edition offers updated research, neuroscience, and practical tools for modern recovery — all built around Dr. Al Mooney’s groundbreaking Recovery Zone System, a three-part roadmap that has transformed the lives of countless people around the world.
Whether you’re beginning recovery, rebuilding your life, supporting a loved one, or working professionally in the field, The Recovery Book provides the tools, structure, and inspiration to sustain lifelong healing.

The system also introduces the Recovery Zone ReCheck, a powerful, easy-to-use relapse prevention tool that helps readers identify risks before they escalate.
