Richard Hartnett's Sobriety and Inspiration will give you many new insights and tools to restore your health and self-respect. To change our behavior and get sober, we must first learn to recognize the powerful inner forces that compel us to act negatively. Richard Hartnett draws upon the experience of people in recovery to deliver a clear and extensive roadmap for understanding an addiction, whether it's with alcohol, drugs, food, gambling or sex. He teaches the reader to recognize and understand the competing voices within -- the inner Tyrant, the inner Addict, and the Healthy Self. And he provides exercises, dialogs, and meditations to expose these different sides of our personality and bring about the realignment we desire. He also applies this approach to our struggles with fear, stress, and intimacy. Hartnett shows us how to follow the inspirations of our inner Guide, so we can conquer our temptations and resolve our inner conflicts. The meditations will be of special interest to those with substantial sobriety. And by gaining access to the creative forces in us, we are free to develop a spirituality suited to our needs.
