In the spiritual successor to the best-selling Touchstones, the author continues to explore masculinity and sobriety. Now well beyond recovery''s trailhead, we confront life itself: it isn''t merely abstinence and coping skills, it''s a triumph. Stepping Stones guides your self-help discovery along its next steps, ensuring your recovery finds inspiration, meaning, and brilliance. For many of us, sobriety began uncomfortably. Treatment and counselling unearthed addiction''s thumbprint - substance use, anger, resentments, and behavioural patterns around sex and intimacy - as well as challenged perspectives about religion and spirituality. As addictive behaviours and mind-sets gave way to both mental health and physical wellness, our new sense of self emerged, and our family and friends supported our continuing transformation. This self-help meditation book is designed for men to keep moving forward in recovery.
