Main description:

* The Recovery Cycle is the positive mirror image of the Addiction Cycle, and the first and only simple and relatable model for positive change in recovery
* Written with both therapists and clients in mind - by a clinician in recovery herself - the easy, pragmatic, and conversational style plays to the resistance known to addicted people while gently encouraging sober relationships and spiritual connection
* It speaks to all addiction disorders and discusses what every addicted person must go through to fall in love with their sober life, no matter what program they choose, no matter what addiction
