Download Moms to Moms: Parenting Wisdom from Moms in Recovery AudioBook Free

Being a mommy is one of the hardest & most important jobs a woman can have. Being truly a mom in recovery is even more difficult. In Parents to Parents, Barbara Pleasure, a parenting counselor whose clients include lovers and alcoholics in guardianship, runs on the time-honored recovery tradition: sharing testimonies. She interviewed more than 60 moms in recovery from across the United States who have struggled with addiction. They are women of all age groups, races, and religious affiliations who candidly reveal their experience. Some are moms with young children; others have grown children living independently. Many have lost their children to the courts or have given them up for adoption. That is real world advice from women who've been there. The ladies discuss the troubles to be a mommy, the values they want to instruct their children, and their concerns, struggles, and accomplishments. While not a meditation book, Parents to Parents is a book that busy, consumed with stress moms in recovery can turn to again and again to find creativity, comfort, and advice. Through analysis tools and strategies for positive parenting, Pleasure implies ways for parents to include the message of these stories into their own lives. Each chapter starts with a question that listeners can reveal after and ends with journaling activities and affirmations designed to reduce stress and strengthen positive behavior.
