In Recovery and Discovery, we explore addiction and recovery in light of the Twelve Steps of the Alcoholics Anonymous program, combined with the wisdom of the great Chassidic leaders and master psychologists Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and his prime disciple, Reb Noson of Breslov.

Filled with abundant information and advice, their teachings enable us to truly understand how we can gain and maintain control of our lives, and do it with dignity.
