Recovery in the Shadows

By Michael D. Maxey LPC

Recovery in the Shadows By Michael D. Maxey, M.Ed., LPC Chaos. Laughter. Second chances. And a whole lot of questionable decisions. In a world where recovery meetings are held around a firepit rather than in church basements, Recovery in the Shadows brings together a cast of misfits--an orc with anger issues, a goblin who overthinks everything, a dragon learning to manage his hoarding instincts, a necromancer trying not to raise the dead when things get stressful, and a halfling assassin with a very complicated relationship with impulse control. Through humor, disaster, and the occasional glitter-fueled catastrophe , this book explores the messy, absurd, and deeply human experience of addiction and recovery. Because healing isn't linear, mistakes are inevitable, and sometimes the only thing keeping you sober is a grumpy troll telling you to get your act together. This isn't just a story about recovery--it's a story about belonging . And how, no matter how dark it gets, the fire keeps burning.
