Publisher's Synopsis
In this compelling and educational personal memoir, a clinical psychologist relays her struggle with alcoholism while modeling healing by example.
Doctors are human beings with the same emotions, challenges, and needs as everyone else. They suffer from illness too. Even so, their patients often find it difficult to believe and understand when a psychologist struggles with alcoholism like anyone else.
The Sober Present is a unique personal memoir of one doctor's first six months of sobriety. Using meditations and visualizations for calmness, as well as educational chapters and personal reflections of her psychological journey to sobriety, Dr. Danielle Swift explores and explains the mindfulness approach to addiction recovery therapy.
Whether you or someone you know is suffering from the disease of alcoholism, The Sober Present serves as an encouraging, informational, and uplifting memoir about overcoming addiction.
