DESCRIPTION:
This challenge to the paradigms of addiction and recovery theory shows those in recovery how to tap their own source of positive energy in a new approach to the search for serenity-a quest long recognized as the key to recovery.
"In a simple and insightful manner, Bailey applies some age-old principles of mental health to an understanding of the nature of addiction and offers the hope that, for counselors and clients alike, serenity can be the immediate goal rather than the distant dream." -- John Du Cane, executive director, Institute for Chemical Dependency Professionals of Minnesota
The Serenity Principle Haydee F. Mccarville The Serenity Principle helped me see addiction from the perspective of one afflicted with the problem, as well as how difficult the road to recovery is. It offers a fresh approach to both situations, as opposed to the tried, and often failed, feel bad in order to feel better. It is a very compassionate and humane approach. I sent copies to some of my friends.. Finally, a concept that really works. Bailey has presented easy to grasp ideas that really work for the person in recovery. I have used it on both a personal and professional level and would encourage others to do the same.. Very helpful and insightful This book was very helpful and enlightening for me. I have recommended this book to many people and they have reported it has changed their lives. It has a fresh perspective on addiction and is even helpful to those who do not struggle themselves with addiction. Understanding the power of thought, which this book describes, has taken my life from a struggle to enjoyable, relaxing and exciting.
