Kickass Recovery: From Your First Year Clean to the Life of Your Dreams - Paperback

by Billy Manas (Author), Liberty de Vitto (Foreword by)

WISE, WITTY, AND RELENTLESSLY REAL STRAIGHT TALK FROM A RECOVERING ADDICT

As Billy Manas can attest, getting sober is easy compared to living sober. But if he can do it, so can you, and he's going to help you with nuts-and bolts suggestions for finding financial, personal, and emotional well-being to live your own version of a kickass life. Billy's techniques for getting there are simple yet profound -- tackling manageable goals, finding inspiration (in whatever way works for you), asking for help (even when you don't want to), practicing gratitude and meditation (even if you think they're silly), and steering clear of people who rain on your parade. Straightforward and doable, these strategies build confidence and build on each other until recovery means not just living but living better than ever.
