The Life Changing Magic of Feeling the Moment and Being Yourself

Beschreibung

Years of sobriety means you never quite thinking about how to grow. It means a continuous process of working through your doubts and facing your fears. True sobriety really does show up as serenity and a soundness of mind, body, spirit, and emotions. The guidance of Martial Arts teaches the disciplines necessary to become the best possible version of ourselves. Each tenet of the martial arts and the character traits which I believe are necessary for strong character development are found in this book along with words used to describe the virtues that help one practice sobriety and lead a happier, more fulfilled life. Written by a martial artist and long-time practitioner of the Twelve Steps, this book gives you strategies and ideas which will help you in your own personal journey towards sobriety and wellness. Sponsors who have themselves effectively studied and applied Steps Six and Seven of the Twelve Steps will understand the value of this book. Emotional Sobriety will guide you through this most vital phase in a sponsor's journey of personal growth and change utilizing the Twelve Steps. Substance abuse counselors, life coaches, and mentors will also find this a helpful collaborative piece when working with those in recovery from substance abuse. The goal is to help you reach a more powerful understanding of sobriety, common sense, and the life principles and practices that will help guide serenity and empower you to not only live happier and healthier, but also to lead a life that is in service to others.

Raised in a dysfunctional alcoholic home, Craig struggled to understand the rigidness and ineffective parenting that raised his sense of powerlessness. As an adult, Craig chose to form his understanding of what it meant to be a mature person by embarking on a journey in the Martial Arts, a journey that leads him to develop a strong sense of emotional self-control.The Martial Arts helped Craig to have the strength and courage to develop a better understanding of how to develop sound character. He experienced a process to understand as an adult what had happened in his formative years.
