A Recovery Journey

A Recovery Journey is about one man's spiritual, intellectual, and emotional journey. It is not just a memoir of the author's recovery from alcohol; it presents a broad synthesis of every aspect of his transformations, insights, values, and behavior changes resulting from the first moment of surrender to the knowledge of his addiction.

Marohn approaches recovery as a global psychological process, one that takes him into non-traditional spiritual journeys, into self-examination, and to a constant awareness of how much personal experience continues to trump so many of the orthodox values and beliefs he grew up with.

On a broader level, A Recovery Journey examines three basic areas of the author's on-going journey: the beginnings; psychological and spiritual values; and the broader philosophical and cultural issues, all of which continue to affect and be affected by his on-going path to recovery.
