Book Release: Writing Your Way To Recovery

Book Release and Giveaway

Announcing the release of a new book on writing in recovery by addiction memoirists James Brown and Patrick O’Neil.

Independent Publisher

ISBN: 139781736884706

Writing Your Way to Recovery: How Stories Can Save Our Lives is an extraordinary collection of personal stories and creative writing exercises designed to help others achieve lasting sobriety. This book provides a vital roadmap to the artistic, personal and spiritual growth to all those battling addiction.

The authors of this unique approach to recovery should be dead. That they are not is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of hope. Although they now share over three decades of sobriety, they spent even more years as alcoholics and addicts.

Hell on earth is real for those suffering from substance abuse, but the authors know that there is a way out of this hell. For they have lived it, and in these pages they offer the hope, strength and wisdom of the once seemingly damned.
