MISSION, British Columbia, Aug. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- “Are you frustrated because your recovery program is not providing the results you had hoped for. Have you stopped using yet still exhibit the same destructive behaviors as when you were using? Do you want to know the difference between recovering and recovered?” F. Works asks.
Works had experienced 21 years thinking that he was sober before he realized that he had not really known what sobriety truly meant. In a fortuitous meeting one day, he was asked a question that changed his life. Set for a new marketing campaign, “If God Were an Apple Tree: Being an Alcoholic or an Addict Doesn’t Turn Apples into Pears” (published by Balboa Press in November 2019) invites readers to discover the author’s path to true sobriety and actual recovery which he believes can change their lives as well.
“If you don’t like what’s happening in your life, change it — but remember that change comes from the inside and not the outside. When the inside changes, the outside no longer looks the same,” the author points out. “If you don’t like eating corn, stop planting it. If you’re looking for peace, become the peace you’re looking for. If you’re looking for sobriety, become what you’re looking for.”
The author hopes this book to be a worthy project that will help someone, somewhere understand that there is a solution to the problem of addiction. “People do recover from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body, and the obsession to use any mood-altering chemical can be removed if we stick to the process of recovery outlined in Alcoholics Anonymous. If we don’t stick to it the way it’s laid down, and it doesn’t work, it’s not the books fault. That fault falls squarely on the shoulders of the individuals themselves,” he concludes.
