This book takes you to aspects of recovery in many areas of your life but focuses mainly on substance abuse. It talks about the path to recovery, which is feeling empowered in mind, spirit, and body. It further discusses those people and forces that work against your recovery and for your disempowerment. The book also looks at how we can learn to better empower ourselves and those around us. If we can obtain this empowered feeling, we have more satisfaction, meaning, and purpose in our lives. We become active participants in life rather than spectators. Life is about the journey, a fun, exciting, adventurous, rewarding, and gift-giving experience in spite of our daily challenges. This is the right time, and you are truly ready to be empowered.
