About this title

Synopsis

Walk a New Path Sylvain is an invaluable guide to recovery and source of emotional strength for those who are dealing with grief, addiction or depression based on the Twelve Step program. From the author of Drumming from Within and Together We Heal, Walk a New Path explores the authors journey towards recovery from co-dependency and workaholism and the universal lessons drawn from his experience in Canadas Far North. For people dealing with grief, depression, addiction and trauma, moving back towards clear, ordered thinking can be difficult. Lavoie lays out each of the 12 steps for healing, drawing from personal stories and Christian tradition to offer a roadmap to recovery. These steps help those suffering from substance abuse, as well as victims of abuse, to see their own experiences as opportunities for growth. Priests, parish leaders, counsellors and parents will appreciate this book just as much as the people it directly helps.
