Addiction recovery requires a serious commitment, yet that doesn't mean it has to be a bleak, never-ending struggle. "Recovering takes us through many difficult steps of discipline, humility, and self-realization," says Kevin Griffin ."In doing so, many of us forget that we are capable and deserving of basic happiness." With Recovering Joy, Kevin Griffin fills in what is often the missing piece in addiction recovery programs—how to regain our ability to live happier lives.
 
Recovering Joy offers a deeply insightful look at how we can cultivate positive mind states within the challenging context of addiction. Through reflections, self-inquiry, and mindfulness practices, Griffin reveals how we can better act in accordance with our core values, cultivate healthy and satisfying relationships, renew our sense of playfulness, and find the unexpected joys in the journey of recovery.

      Although recovery takes the afflicted through the steps of discipline, humility, and self-realization, there are also the possibilities of peace and joy, claims author Griffin (One Breath at a Time), who explains that one can have satisfying relationships, productive work, and fun in recovery. He presents a series of reflections and practices, the former assisting readers to understand their current unhappiness, how they get in the way of future happiness, and to achieve ways to bring peace into their lives. His principles include active methods of exploring those states, including mindfulness and meditation. The exercises focus on living congruently with one's calling and in all areas of life, whether choosing foods to eat or people to love. VERDICT While most in recovery have experienced serenity and joy simply from their freedom from addiction, Griffin adds another layer.
