Rising from the Dead

the long version

'Rising from the dead: stories of women's spiritual journeys to sobriety' tells the recovery stories of alcoholic women who have maintained long-term sobriety with the help of 12-step spirituality. Their stories give hope to women still suffering from addiction and provide suggestions and strategies for helping professionals and pastoral counselors who aren't familiar with the 12-step recovery process. This unique book includes practical applications for constructing a spiritual life story and models of therapeutic listening and counseling to help turn tragic and destructive life histories into healing narratives.
