Welcome to Beach House Center for Recovery’s Monthly Book Club! Each month, a member of our community recommends a book that inspired them, changed their life, helped a loved one through a tough time, or is simply too helpful to overlook.
To help start 2018 on a positive note, Melinda Dixon, a Beach House Admission Counselor, recommends “Strengthening My Recovery: Meditations for Adult Children of Alcoholic/Dysfunctional Families”. This daily reader offers quick meditation tips to help start or continue your recovery this January. Below Melinda has provided some helpful passages and readings tips to ensure that you get the most out of this recovery book. Enjoy!
I belong to the ACA Fellowship, it’s the book we use to start our weekly meeting at my home group.
Anyone who grew up in an atmosphere where trauma, abuse and/or neglect was/is present.
The passage on Abandonment, December 6th, page 353. The last few sentences at the bottom of the page “On this day I know I am not alone. I have the support of my ACA family that is helping me heal my past and build a strong future.”
The book is a daily reader. It’s a quick 5 minute read/meditation, like a thought for the day.
It speaks to the core of healing yourself from within while surrounded by fellow travelers. You’re never alone in fellowship.
