Book Description

September 30, 1998
This second volume in Kettelhack's series takes on the "terrible twos." Here people in recovery share their experiences and insights in dealing with long-suppressed feelings of anger, loss, guilt, love, and self-acceptance. Kettelhack shows how "sticking with it"--persevering with the struggle to deal with new feelings and refusing to give in to addictive impulses--ultimately creates the sense of life as an ongoing adventure, one more vivid, exciting and sustaining than had ever been thought possible.

Guy Kettelhack has written seven books on recovery. He is completing a Master's degree in psychoanalysis, and is an analyst-in-training at the Boston and New York Centers for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. A graduate of Middlebury College, Kettelhack has also done graduate work in English literature at Bread Loaf School of English at Oxford University. He lives in New York City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped to remind me that I'm not alone, January 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Year Sobriety: Getting Comfortable Now That Everything Is Different (Paperback)
I bought this book after I celebrated my first abstinence Bday and didn't read it for another 6 months. I was so comforted by the stories of recovering folk in their 2nd year of sobriety, all who were experiencing difficulties in recovery that I could relate to. One of the most important things this book helped me to see is that it's okay to struggle. Now that I have 21 months of sobriety, it's not all about how do I take a shower or cook for myself; rather, I'm learning how to be a part of the world. This book was a welcome reminder that the issues I struggle with are akin to those that many 2nd-year recoverers struggle with.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're in your second your, look forward to relate..., January 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Year Sobriety: Getting Comfortable Now That Everything Is Different (Paperback)
I received this book after my first year of sobriety. It was incredibly useful to understand the transitions that I went through after just focusing on being clean & sober. I highly recommend to anyone who starts becoming more aware of feelings and life circumstances that we had years of not dealing with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Me, February 18, 2006
This review is from: Second Year Sobriety: Getting Comfortable Now That Everything Is Different (Paperback)
Having recently celebrated my 1 year anniversary in AA, this book really helped me understand where I am. There just aren't many people with my sobriety time in the fellowships I attend. They seem to have more or less time, so it has been difficult for me to understand why I feel the way I do. Those that came into AA when I did all seem to be gone and anybody with about my sobriety has been there before. I have a great sponsor, a solid Big Book Program, great fellowship and a constantly improving "life", but why do I feel different than I did a few months ago? Not bad, not great, but just good.
This book was an incredible experience of being able to feel comfortable with the fact that I am "normal" at this stage.
The author has a nice mix of his feelings and some testimony from real, live AA members sharing their experiences and feelings. I would read a little each night after my meetings and feel like I had gone to another meeting. It left me calm and hopeful, like most of my AA experiences on my path. I rarely read a book that I appreciate, but this is one. Thank you, Guy.
