Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Once an alcoholic overcomes denial and stops drinking, the long and difficult process of remaining sober still lies ahead. Long-term recovery needs to go far beyond simple sobriety to succeed; to fully recover, an addict must confront his or her underlying problems.

In this ground-breaking book, Michael Clemmens offers a new method of treatment and outlines an ingenious model for long-term alcoholic recovery, in which pastoral care can play a crucial part. Clemmens' approach leads to a change in the behavior within the individual, while sustaining connection with others. By providing clear guidelines and a new model for treatment, Getting Beyond Sobriety will be of great use to everyone in the field.



Card catalog description
In this groundbreaking book, Michael Clemmens offers a new model of treatment for long-term recovery that goes beyond the traditional "disease" paradigm. Working from the belief that a fuller life for the recovering addict is grounded on a foundation of abstinence, the author explores a "self-modulation" approach, which leads to a change in behavior from within the individual while developing and expanding connections with others.
