Product Description
The journey along the road to recovery may be a glorious and fulfilling adventure, but there are dangers and pitfalls along the way. The person recovering from any addiction needs to be aware of the hazards that lead to relapse. A Hole in the Sidewalk points out ways to avoid the "holes" as one travels the path of recovery.

Each section offers additional tools for recovery. The more tools one gathers and uses, the more recovery will be strengthened.

Key sections include:

Overconfidence
Resentments
Relationships
Anger
Priorities
Plus many more…

This book is written in a style that allows the reader to skip to the various themes which explore issues that one identifies to be a priority. This book is not meant to be a program of recovery, but to be used as an additional tool for recovery.

I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost…I am helpless
It isn’t my fault
It takes forever to find a way out

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don’t see it
I fall in again
I can’t believe I am in the same place
But it isn’t my fault
It still takes a long time to get out

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it is there
I still fall in…it’s a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it

I walk down another street

5 out of 5 starsGREAT recovery resource, 2008-12-26
This is a great resource applicable to recovery from any kind of addictive behavior. With 29 sections, it works well for an intensive one-a-day structured format for focused attention to relapse prevention. Very readable and engaging, it covers all aspects of relapse mindsets in a memorable and individualized way. For those needing to address multiple addictions, it is helpful to identify interactions and substitutions among various behaviors in order to extricate yourself from the web. For example, addictive behaviors may manifest in relation to pornography, alcohol, illegal and prescription drug use, sexual issues, eating, exercise, shopping, codependent relationships. Just when you think you have your addiction under control, it pops up as another aspect of your life. Knowing how to feel good about "walking down another street" while still on the alert for other "deep holes" is essential. As counselors, we find this to be a great resource for arming clients with an overview to achieve - and the insight to maintain their own unique recovery - while pursuing healing from destructive root issues through cultivation of intentionally authentic, nurturing relationships.
