Relapse Prevention: Bible-Based Recovery Journey
Recovery is more than breaking free from addiction. It is learning how to live differently, one choice, one day, and one step of faith at a time.
Relapse rarely begins with the first drink, drug, or return to destructive behavior. It often begins much earlier, in the thoughts, emotions, habits, and unresolved struggles that quietly lead a person back toward familiar patterns.
Relapse Prevention: Bible-Based Recovery Journey combines practical counseling principles with biblical wisdom to help readers recognize these patterns, understand their triggers, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.
Drawing on decades of experience in nursing, mental health counseling, and Christian ministry, Dr. B. A. Coffee Marks explores the relationship between thoughts, feelings, choices, relationships, and spiritual growth.
Inside, readers will explore:
Recognizing the warning signs and triggers of relapseUnderstanding learned behaviors and destructive thinking patternsIdentifying emotional responses and developing healthier coping skillsExamining family influences, relationships, and personal responsibilityApplying biblical principles to everyday recovery challengesDeveloping a personal approach to relapse prevention and lasting changeThrough thoughtful questions, practical exercises, and Scripture-based reflection, readers are encouraged to examine their own experiences and record their insights in a separate journal.
Whether you are beginning recovery, rebuilding after a relapse, or seeking to strengthen your commitment to sobriety, this book offers guidance for the journey ahead.
Recovery is a journey, not a single decision. Faith, self-awareness, perseverance, and a willingness to change can help illuminate the path forward.
Suitable for personal study, Christian recovery groups, and counseling-related reflection. This book is an educational and spiritual resource, not a substitute for professional addiction treatment.
