    You've sobered up, so now what? Do you need inpatient or outpatient rehab? Do you need rehab at all? Is 12-step recovery such as AA or NA the most effective, or are there alternatives? Is it possible to work a recovery program online? What are the best online addiction recovery resources today? How do you prevent relapse? Will life ever get easier as a person in recovery?  My name is Steve, and I’m a grateful and recovered alcoholic. If you're like me, a few years ago, when I first decided to get help, I was scared, anxious, and unsure where to start. The thought of never drinking at social events and having to face everything and everyone clean and sober scared the hell out of me. Going online didn’t help either with the overwhelming amount of conflicting information about which recovery paths and programs to avoid or follow.  I had many questions about how to stay sober, completely recover from addiction, and improve my life. Chances are you have similar questions and concerns, so I’ve compiled all the mistakes and lessons learned from myself and hundreds of other recovering alcoholics and addicts to take the guesswork out of the recovery process, and educate and empower you to carve a recovery path that works for you.  This is the audiobook I wish I’d had when I first sobered up. It's taken me more than three years to figure out what truly works to stay sober and succeed at life, and I'll give you one hint now: there’s not one, but actually several paths to freedom from addiction and a life beyond your wildest drunken dreams.  In Sobered Up, so Now What? you will find:  The 3-D sobriety approach to recovery to not only stay sober, but succeed in every area of life  How to choose the best addiction recovery programs  Learn to identify a healthy versus unhealthy meeting/program  How to get the most out of online recovery resources  How to design a powerful morning an ungekürzt.

    Geraldine Delaney: One of the First Women Alcoholics in AA. She Was an Advocate for Alcoholics Who Are Also Drug Addicts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
    Mrs. Delaney’s first introduction to AA was when her brother, Oscar, sobered up with the help of Bill Wilson. It was seven years later, after battling her own alcoholism that she found herself, one of the first women, in the rooms of AA.Mrs. D was a pioneer in the field of alcoholism treatment and was instrumental in the treatment and recovery of many alcoholics and their family members. She inspired thousands of people to regain their lives and to live sober. Through her own example of 50 years of sobriety, Mrs. Delaney helped people come to believe that hope can become fact.She believed it - she lived it and devoted her life to helping alcoholics, addicts, and their family members. She felt that with discipline, structure, and tincture of time, recovery was possible. Although she was tough as nails, those who knew Mrs. D knew she truly loved her students. As she said, I loved them enough to tell them the truth.Mrs. Delaney spent a lot of time with Lois Wilson and the Alanon women in the early days since there were so few women in AA. As a result, she became a strong believer in treating the family and developed one of the first in-house family residential programs. She often said the family can undo in five minutes what has taken five months to put together.Mrs. Delaney was loved and respected and yes, feared by many - there is a large group of alumni who got sober by attending Alina Lodge and yet another group who sobered up when threatened with a visit to The Lodge.Born in Stonington, IL, Mrs. Delaney was the wife of the late Thomas F. Delaney. She received her formal education at Knox College in Galesburg, IL, and the University of Illinois. She was honored with an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Seton Hall University and has received numerous awards throughout her career. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Guess that was one of the reasons I was whistling. Just yesterday Grandpa and Uncle Charlie had signed all the official papers to make the farm mine, really and legally mine. Joshua Chadwick Jones they read, clear as could be. The full impact had yet to hit me. But I was excited. Really excited.

Had to support Grandpa and Uncle Charlie and myself....And adding to the challenge was a desire for a family of my own..." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marguerite Gavin.

    The Closing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    When two men meet in the Virginia state penitentiary in a maximum security visitation room on May 5, 1968, they have only one thing in common: they both want their lives back. On one side of a glass divider sits Kenneth Deatherage, who was sentenced to death for the brutal rape and murder of a young woman. The jury agreed with the prosecutor's closing argument: that all evidence points to Deatherage as the killer. But Deatherage says the evidence was fabricated. He claims that the judge and his own lawyer rigged the trial against him. On the other side of the divider sits Nate Abbitt, who was a successful prosecutor until he tried to drink his way through a midlife crisis. When he finally sobered up, he had lost his career, his marriage of 30 years, and his self-respect. He turned to criminal defense because it was the only work he could get. When the court appoints Nate to represent Deatherage on appeal, Nate doesn't believe there's a grand conspiracy to send Deatherage to the electric chair. But when his investigation uncovers hints of corruption in the county justice system, he finds himself accused of murder by the same forces that convicted his client. To save himself, Nate risks his life and the lives of others, and in the process, discovers that he and Deatherage have much more in common than he wants to admit. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Orbital Perspective: Lessons in Seeing the Big Picture from a Journey of 71 Million Miles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 357min
    For astronaut Ron Garan, living on the International Space Station was a powerful, transformative experience - one that he believes holds the key to solving our problems here on Earth. On space walks and through windows, Garan was struck by the stunning beauty of the Earth from space but sobered by knowing how much needed to be done to help this troubled planet. And yet on the International Space Station, Garan, a former fighter pilot, was working work side by side with Russians, who only a few years before were "the enemy". If 15 nationalities could collaborate on one of the most ambitious, technologically complicated undertakings in history, surely we can apply that kind of cooperation and innovation toward creating a better world. That spirit is what Garan calls the "orbital perspective". Garan vividly conveys what it was like learning to work with a diverse group of people in an environment only a handful of human beings have ever known. But more importantly he describes how he and others are working to apply the orbital perspective here at home, embracing new partnerships and processes to promote peace and combat hunger, thirst, poverty, and environmental destruction. This audiobook is a call to action for each of us to care for the most important space station of all: planet Earth. You don't need to be an astronaut to have the orbital perspective. Garan's message of elevated empathy is an inspiration to all who seek a better world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Hagen.

    Ghosts of the Unremembered Past , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 305min
    Ghosts of the Unremembered Past is a suspenseful story of a young boy growing up in a family shaped by intrusion, loss, and tragedy and of that same boy, as a young adult, seeking help from a gifted psychoanalyst.The juxtaposition of the protagonist's childhood and early adulthood highlights the crippling effects of emotional isolation and the transformative power of relational connection. It is, above all, a story of hope, though sobered by recognition of the inevitability of the pain and loss that accompanies the process of remembering the past so that its ghosts may be finally laid to rest. Ghosts of the Unremembered Past is a slim volume that reveals many surprises. Tom Wooldridge, in this compelling family drama, conveys some of the most profound psychological struggles we experience as we try to negotiate childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.Using simple, convincing language, he draws the listener into experiences of trauma, tragic losses, confusion, and the thoughtfulness and kindness needed to face and begin healing these pains.About the author: Tom Woolridge is a psychoanalyst, board-certified psychologist, and associate professor of psychology at Golden Gate University. He is also faculty at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California, the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and an assistant clinical professor at the University of California, San Francisco's Medical School. He has published numerous journal articles and two books. This is his first novel.Praise for the book:"A remarkable first novel."
