Mark shares the tools he uses to transform the negative energy he had been wasting on fear into positive energy that empowers him and enriches his recovery and his life. “Edick follows up on Becoming Normal with this earnest and tender memoir . . . his story should provide both inspiration and comfort to individuals dealing with the specter of fear themselves, or those whose loved ones live in its shadow.”—Publishers Weekly

Becoming Normal An Ever-Changing Perspective MARK EDICK
How the author redefined his own “normal,” and how you, too, can redefine yours.
R
edefining normality, for Mark Edick, meant coming to grips with the addiction that had defined his perception of reality. And it meant understanding that comparing himself to others and thinking in terms of “Us vs. Them” created artificial boundaries between him and others that diminished his sense of self and belonging. Becoming Normal is a marvelous study of self, but more importantly, of the reality in which we view ourselves and in which society sees us. While this is one man's illuminating story, it is also the story of millions of us. “Don’t let this book pass you by; it might just transform your life!” —Jack G.

DISCOVER RECOVERY Exploring the Twelve Steps Exploring Steps: Guides to the Twelve Steps for Individuals and Families is a valuable set of tools to help facilitate the recovery process from a twelve-step-oriented perspective. These state-of-the-art resources have been developed by professionals with extensive experience in the fields of behavioral health and addiction treatment, as well as numerous years of personal recovery. This series 5 ½” x 8 ½” saddle-stitched booklets, ranging from thirty-two to forty-eight pages each, integrates the time-tested wisdom and spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps with current counseling theory and practice approaches. A separate booklet is devoted to each step—for individuals and families, respectively—exploring the meaning of the step and the concepts that are essential to it. There are also knowledge and skills-building exercises to apply the principles of each step in one’s life. FOR INDIVIDUALS—Exploring Steps: Guides for Individuals are specific to the needs of individuals wrestling with their own addiction. For example, Step One focuses on being powerless over addiction and details how to examine the unmanageability in one’s life. It discusses addiction as a brain disease and describes the dynamics of obsession, compulsion, and spiritual self-centeredness. It also addresses the defense mechanisms of minimization, avoidance, denial, and rationalization, as well as the spiritual principles of surrender, honesty, and acceptance. ISBN: 978-1-937612-21-4 • $29.95 (box of twelve booklets) FOR FAMILIES—Exploring Steps: Guides for Families are specific to the needs of family members and significant others. The wreckage left in the wake of the addiction of a family member or significant other exerts a serious health impact on everyone involved in those “systems”—parents, children, siblings, spouses, partners, etc. Because addiction is a family disease, recovery for family members is a critical, yet often underaddressed, aspect of the healing process.
