Things That Work: A No-Nonsense Guide to Recovery
… By One Who Knows
Author: Barry Bocchieri
💪 About the Book
Direct, practical, and deeply personal, Things That Work is a refreshingly straightforward guide to real recovery — written by someone who’s been there. Author Barry Bocchieri, a counselor and person in long-term recovery, distills years of lived experience and clinical wisdom into simple, powerful tools for achieving and maintaining sobriety.
This isn’t a theoretical or overly polished self-help book — it’s a hands-on manual that cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually works. Bocchieri shows that recovery is not about perfection or complexity; it’s about consistency, honesty, and applying simple truths that help us stay balanced, grounded, and free.
Drawing from his own hard-earned experience and his professional work as a substance abuse counselor, Bocchieri helps readers navigate everything from early sobriety and emotional overwhelm to stress management, relapse prevention, and building a life of purpose.
Whether you’re new to recovery, struggling to stay the course, or supporting someone you love, Things That Work is a clear and compassionate companion on the journey.
