Reading List: Recovery Alternatives for Women
I have compiled the following list of books from a
variety of sources, and they have all been helpful to
me in some way. Some are about alcoholism, some
about addiction, and some are about maturation and
personal growth, which is what recovery is really all
about, after all. If you know of any other good
books I've overlooked or neglected to mention,
please let me know! I'm always in the mood for a
good book. These titles should be available at your
public library or favorite bookstore.
Books on Recovery
The following books are about finding your own inner power. Recognizing and claiming your power is a lot healthier than disowning it. It's also a lot more fun.
I haven't read all of the following books, but they have been recommended to me by others. Let me know how you like them.
If you know of good books on recovery that aren't in my list, tell me about them!
You have the POWER to change your life! Claim it!
