Confused.
Desperate.
Trapped, with no way out.
HEAR THE VOICES OF THOSE MOST
VULNERABLE:
Those addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, exposure to inappropriate
material, and other destructive plagues of our times. Promising yeshivah bachurim, kollel yungeleit—no
group is immune to the devastation of these dangers. Spouses and
parents watch helplessly as their loved ones sink into pain and despair.
In this eye-opening book on teshuvah
and recovery, renowned author and psychiatrist Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski
offers his wise insights into the psychological and spiritual aspects
of addiction and the benefits of joining a twelve-step program. Included
are inspiring personal accounts of those who have descended to the
lowest recesses, yet emerged triumphant from the depths of darkness.
Addressing the common questions addicts—and their families—ask, Rabbi
Twerski challenges our thought processes and debunks the myths about
addiction in the frum community. He tackles such topics as why this
scourge is so widespread today, why the Twelve Steps are effective in
addressing this problem, and where to turn for those desperately needed
answers.
Teshuvah through Recovery is a book that no suffering person or family should be without.
