Addiction

[close] This reading group is for fiction or non fiction books that may aid in parents understanding various challenges in raising a troubled teen; i.e. substance abuse, chronic running away, oppositional defiance, entitlement issues, etc.

[close] This groups is inclusive to all addicts, but especially so with opiate and heroin users who injected drugs. The support group revolves around my story and how I overcame a nasty addiction to heroin, and wrote my story "Addictarium," about my time in intensive rehabilitation in a 2 year program.

[close] Dear Recovery Readers, I'm an alcoholic (that felt brave). As part of my recovery, I am trying to read as many books as I can about addiction, struggle, triumph and hope. Whether they are empowering, funny, thought-provoking or sad, there are so many inspiring stories that we can draw strength from, using them as the building blocks for our own sobriety. There is so much I want to read and learn, and I want to share that experience with all of you. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week. This means that everyone will have time to read it before we get chatting, but also we don't need to worry about timezones so people can join in wherever they might be. I will post some questions/quotes to get the discussion going - and hopefully it will grow organically from there. Where possible, I will also try and encourage authors to participate, should we get some momentum going. Whatever addiction you are struggling with, or even if you aren't struggling yourself but want to support someone who is, everyone is welcome. Welcome to Recovery Readers! Soberology x

[close] This group is for anyone who is addicted to Young Adult books, especially in the Paranormal Romance genre.
