Emotional Sobriety $9.89 Do you use substances or engage in compulsive activities to regulate your mood? Do you reach for something sweet, a couple of drinks, or a pack of cigarettes after a difficult day because you can’t unwind without them? Do you race to the stores to spend away the day’s frustrations or run around in circles taking more time to get less done? If these self-defeating habits sound familiar, Emotional Sobriety will shed light on why and how these coping mechanisms threaten your health and impact resilience. When we manage the stresses of the day by turning to outside ‘mood managers’ such as food, sex, work, shopping, gambling, drugs, and alcohol rather than healthier forms of ’self-soothing,’ it is because we lack emotional sobriety–the state of processing our thoughts efficiently to bring our emotions into balance, says bestselling author and renowned addictions psychologist Tian Dayton, Ph.D. In her latest book, Emotional Sobriety , Dr. Dayton shares compelling, honest tales of her life experiences and case studies of those she has counseled. Illustrating that emotional sobriety is a mind/body phenomenon, Dr. Dayton includes ideas on how to attain emotional literacy–the skill of translating feelings into words so that we can use our thought processes to understand and bring our emotions into balance– and how to calm the limbic system so that we can actually experience what we’re feeling. The limbic system processes our emotions and governs our mood, appetite, and sleep cycles. Repeated painful experiences, in childhood or adulthood, over which we have no ability or sense of control or escape can oversensitize us to stress andderegulate our limbic system. Dr. Dayton shows you through concrete examples how to bring your emotions and thoughts into balance and learn healthy ways of ’self-soothing’ to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, rage, and the desire to self-medicate.

Sobriety and Inspiration $19.77 Are you ready to set aside your addictive urges and align yourself with the healing forces in you? Richard Hartnett’s "Sobriety and Inspiration" will give you many new insights and tools to restore your health and self-respect. To change our behavior and get sober, we must first learn to recognize the powerful inner forces that compel us to act negatively. Richard Hartnett draws upon the experience of people in recovery to deliver a clear and extensive roadmap for understanding an addiction, whether it’s with alcohol, drugs, food, gambling or sex. He teaches the reader to recognize and understand the competing voices within — the inner Tyrant, the inner Addict, and the Healthy Self. And he provides exercises, dialogs, and meditations to expose these different sides of our personality and bring about the realignment we desire. He also applies this approach to our struggles with fear, stress, and intimacy. Hartnett shows us how to follow the inspirations of our inner Guide, so we can conquer our temptations and resolve our inner conflicts. The meditations will be of special interest to those with substantial sobriety. And by gaining access to the creative forces in us, we are free to develop a spirituality suited to our needs.

Sobriety Without End $20.02 In this popular successor to "Sobriety and Beyond, " the author freely discusses the everyday problems that beset the paths of the unwary. Serenity is the key to long-term sobriety, and Father Doe explains how to get it, nurture it, and keep it for a lifetime. Father Doe believes that by continually growing both mentally and spiritually we strengthen our sobriety and prepare ourselves to deal with all the challenges life has in store for us.
