Synopsis

This book is a collision between Eastern and Western approaches to addressing Addiction Recovery. Manifestation is a literary document that includes over 10 years of experience in the professional assessment and counseling of addicts pursuing recovery.

The author is a fully licensed professional counselor (LPC), a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor (CAADC) in the state of Michigan and obtained his Master Addiction Counselor (MAC) credential from the national Certification Commission for Addiction Professionals. His experience encompasses servicing clients in outpatient clinical settings, private practice, and (inpatient) residential/correctional and hospital treatment settings.

Recovering from addiction is an experience of human restoration and requires an approach that is beyond symptom management. Recovery, by definition, is the retrieval or reclaiming of something that has been lost. Addiction Recovery is a process of extracting resistance that is manifested in many forms.

All human dimensions must be intimately interconnected to reach states of serenity and equanimity. Enhancing inner capacities in addition to external modifications fuels the healing process. Addiction is a form of “Doing” something about the “Being”, aimed at inflating pleasure and/or deflating pain. Recovery is a process of incorporating the being and the doing.

Topics Covered:

-elements of resistance that fuel addiction
-dynamics of change
-identification of misconceptions about the recovery process
-exploration of a holistic approach to place the condition in remission
-enhance awareness on external and internal barriers to change
-principles of change and awareness reform
-insight on the process of self-redefinition

Part I explores the resistance themes experienced by recovering addicts, describes the significance of the initial wound and its establishment of the avoidance craving.

Common avoidance manifestations are described in detail: ego, denial, codependency, resentments, reservations, and expectations. The last segment in Part I of this book, helps the reader increase personal awareness on various categories of relapse traps.

Part II introduces the reader to securing “THE AIM” in recovery and establishing a Commitment Statement. Segments on Self-Assessment and the Awareness Inventory will support the establishment of a deeper understanding on internal change dynamics.
