This book is about all the miracles that have happened to me since I found God in 1982 at a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. I have lived both a tragic and miraculous life, but I found myself and I found God. I am strong and happy. I believe that as you go through life, God will be with you whether you acknowledge him or not. You will be the beneficiary of his grace whether you admit this or not. He will love you and there is nothing you can do about it. But if you do acknowledge God, and become grateful for his mercy and grace, the miracles will increase. If you surrender to God your life will change for the better and you will be “happy, joyous, and free.” Susan Peabody

This recovery workbook has been a long time coming. I have written it in the hope of introducing people to the wonder of journaling, creating an inventory, and setting goals. While writing, things occur to us that may not have otherwise seeped up from our unconscious. Writing also reinforces what we have learned and acts as a bench mark affirming our progress. I have also chosen this opportunity to bring the reader’s attention to the Ambivalent Love Addict. In working with Love Addicts and Love Avoidants, I have yet to find someone who is not actually ambivalent. After most of the sections in this workbook, I have added a series of lines which you can use to share your experience, ...

This is a book of poetry that I wrote when I stopped drinking alcohol in 1982 and found my way to Alcoholics Anonymous. My journey has had its ups and down, but I have been carried over the threshold from despair to joy and enlightenment, and I am now resting comfortably in the arms of God.

One of the most helpful little books that I have read recently is The Art of Changing, Your Path to a Better Life by Susan Peabody. In a concise way she hits the big items involved when a person gets serious about changing their life for the better, i.e. willingness, taking action, getting help, helping others, building self-esteem, embracing spirituality, treating depression, healing the wounds of the past, and forgiving ourselves and others. She begins her work with a profound quote from her personal journey, "Change is to human life what the metamorphosis is to the caterpillar; it is the inevitable cycle of life. If there is no change, there is no life." I was not looking for an in-de ...

This allegory was inspired by Hannah Hurdard’s book Hinds’ Feet on High Places. I was so inspired by the courage of her heroine that I was moved to tears. I also identified with how long it took Much-Afraid to progress toward some mystical place where she could find peace. Little did she know that place was within. Recent review . . .

What a beautiful, heavenly mind you have! In reading your story, it is clear that God has left His mark upon your mind and soul. I would encourage you to share what G ...
