We’re All Recovering from Something

Frustrated by the ways in which outdated religious cults, passing themselves off as « recovery programs » managed to infiltrate the medical, legal and criminal justice systems, retired clinical counselor and respected Certified Recovery Coach, Dr. Gianmichael Salvato, has clearly stated for nearly four decades, « We’re all recovering from something… »

This book looks at the reality that most people do not return to substance use, sexual addiction, food addiction or any other unhealthy and dysregulated behavior because they don’t want to « get better ». They fail because no one ever took the time to show them what was really going on… before the behavior began.

This book looks at the big picture–the substance use, the mental health, the trauma, the relationships, and the daily skills to hold it all together, and provides a foundational framework for eliminating the stigma around « addiction », while inviting a wider range of people to the table to explore their own recovery potential.
