She Recovers Every Day

Dawn Nickel is one of the founders of the international movement and non-profit organization SHE RECOVERS® Foundation. In this book, Nickel adds her unique voice to the Hazelden meditation series. Nickel addresses anyone who identifies as a woman in recovery or seeking recovery from one or more difficulties, whether substance use or co-occurring disorders. These inspirational meditations introduce the idea that we are all recovering from something. Nickel recognizes that there is more than one way to recover, and we all have our own paths to sobriety, even if we do not recover in the way that others expect us to. Throughout each meditation, Nickel reflects on her recovery journey and her experience as a cancer and domestic violence survivor. Readers can learn the value of stopping destructive behaviors and allowing healing to begin. Nickel reminds us that recovery is a process, not an event, and we should always have compassion for ourselves no matter what.
