Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction, by Kimberly Berlin, LCSW

Engagement in recovery is one of the most courageous acts for a human being, because one’s entire being is turned—body, mind, AND spirit. In Rise in Recovery, author Kimberly Berlin offers a paradigm shift for recovery from addiction: that spiritual practices rewire and heal the brain. Spirituality, as she defines it, is just a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves. 

The book weaves together authentic, lived stories with spiritual practices that have helped many, including meditation, breath techniques, mantras, and yes, prayer. Some of the biggest authorities on spiritual practices, including Tara Brach and Lisa Miller, endorse this book highly.

“Recovery is not an ending—it’s a beginning. It’s the moment we shed old layers and step into the fullness of who we’re meant to be.”
