We are excited to celebrate the release of Healing Mind, Body, & Soul: Recovering from the Trauma of Addiction, a deeply moving compilation of real, raw, and unfiltered stories of addiction and recovery. In its first week, the book has made an incredible impact, ranking on Amazon’s bestseller lists in Canada. Here are some of the categories we ranked in: #1 Most Gifted in Drug Dependency & Recovery, #4 Best Sellers in Drug Dependency & Recovery, #1 in Hot New Releases in Drug Dependency & Recovery, and also ranking under Substance Abuse alongside Gabor Maté!
A Collective Journey of Healing
This book features 16 courageous authors, each of whom brings a unique perspective on the devastating impact of addiction—whether as individuals in recovery or family members who have supported their loved ones through their darkest moments. The foreword, written by Guy Felicella, an advocate for drug policy reform and harm reduction, sets the tone for this powerful compilation by addressing the trauma and systemic challenges that surround addiction and recovery.
Contributing authors include Teena Clipston, Pam Rader, Luke Wiltshire, Brenda-Lynn Haley, Heather Alexander, Dawn Finn, Danna Bushell, and special guest authors who have graciously shared their personal journeys to help others feel less alone. Each chapter tells a story of pain, struggle, resilience, and ultimately, hope.
A Resource for Recovery
In addition to the powerful personal narratives, Healing Mind, Body, & Soul: Recovering from the Trauma of Addiction serves as a resource for those navigating addiction and recovery, with practical guidance and contacts for finding help across Canada and the USA. Whether you are affected by addiction or looking for ways to support a loved one, the book offers insight into the pathways to healing and the strength of community.
