Bestselling author Harriet Hunter has announced that her award-winning, bestselling book, Miracles of Recovery, is now available in a special collector’s edition, just in time for the holidays. The e-book version of the book will be available at no charge on Amazon December 5 through December 7, 2022.

The updated version of the book features 365-daily inspiration that has helped thousands of people in recovery.

No matter who you are or where you are, no matter your status or position, you can recover. Alcoholics and drug addicts need support and they need tools. The support is in place, in every segment of our society, as are the necessary tools.

Harriet Hunter's bestselling book, Miracles of Recovery, is one such tool. Featuring 365-daily inspirations. Miracles of Recovery was written not just for those addicted, but for the parents, the spouses - anyone touched by the disease, because addiction is a family affair. Using the foundation of 12-Step Recovery, Miracles of Recovery embraces holistic suggestions as a practical approach for those who must face life on life’s terms, clean and sober. Encouraging and thought-provoking, Miracles of Recovery inspires with Universal Truths, “Because,” Harriet says, “once we know better, we do better.”

“With enough willingness, Miracles of Recovery has the power to change the way we think through association and implementation of exercises and suggestions, Hunter stated. “When we change the way we think, our actions follow. Each day's message encourages us to open our hearts to the unlimited possibility of hope and self-worthiness, courage, and recovery. One day at a time, one page at a time, we will transform ourselves, becoming the person we have always wanted to be.

“Many of you continue, as part of your daily ritual, to enjoy Miracles of Recovery. If I’m speaking to you, I hope you will find the enhanced versions of these passionate 365-daily reads even more inspiring.

“The new Collectors Edition is the gift that answers a need to understand and support those we love and care for in and around the rooms of recovery. Miracles of Recovery brings to the heart of every user, to evaluate where their feet are just for today and to make tough but necessary decisions about the path they are on. It is written by someone who has experienced the same self-loathing, the same despair, someone who still lives the daily journey that is recovery.”

Harriet offers a personal, sometimes raw, reflection of the truth about addiction seldom seen elsewhere. She uses examples, based on experience, as to how many can achieve long-term sobriety by embracing new behavior and positive reinforcement.

The author spurs the reader to embrace the belief that, regardless of challenges life presents, “NOTHING can change the course of recovery when you keep yourself, your sobriety, and your Higher Power first in your life.” In short, Miracles of Recovery offers hope where there is none through a simple program of actions for complicated people.

The new edition is available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Harriet-Hunter/e/B07JR632FX?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1667512852&sr=8-1. The e-book version of the book will be available at no charge on Amazon December 5 through December 7, 2022.

Substance abuse issues have been on the increase, primarily due to the overwhelming effects of a global pandemic. The National Institute of Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse mentioned in 2018 that 88,000 people die each year to alcohol-related deaths. They go on to say that globally, alcohol misuse was the fifth leading risk factor for premature death and disability in 2010. Now these statistics look even more dire with the onslaught of the pandemic effect: premature death, isolation, job loss and so much more.

While there are many treatment approaches and programs, what is common to successful individuals who find themselves within a substance abuse program is the shared pain and the loneliness, often with an ongoing support system for the person battling the disease. That support system is what Harriet Hunter offers in “Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith.”

Hunter continues to receive rave reviews for her work from readers and reviewers alike. Vernita Taylor of Readers Favorite stated, “Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage, and Faith by Harriet Hunter is a great choice if you’re struggling with addiction because it offers a full year of inspiration and affirmations which I enjoyed. I see this book as a mentor or sponsor that is walking by your side and helping to lead you to a better, more improved you while teaching you how to deal with your stressors. The best teacher is someone who has been there and done that, and this book doesn’t disappoint. The author knows first-hand what it takes and how it feels to be addicted. If you need help along your journey, pick up a copy of this book; it’s highly recommended.”

Melanie Barton Bragg, Licensed Holistic Psychotherapist said, “Harriet shares her journey of grief, loss, and eventually arriving at a place of peace. We are privileged to have an inside look at how she has and is recovering. This daily meditation guide provides thought-provoking ideas to meditate on throughout the day and has been useful as discussion starters in my therapy groups. The usual 12-step daily meditation books have been in print for decades. This book is a refreshing addition to the standard recovery tools.”

Anthony Capozzolli of Dismantled Life Podcast said, “Miracles of Recovery has been a feast for my recovering soul. Every page is filled with love and helpful insights that lead to discovery. I read each page by date and randomly turn to other pages for an additional spiritual hug when I need one. It’s almost as if Harriet wrote her wonderful book for me. Page after page hits so close to home I often tear up from positive awareness and clarity of emotion.” Readers can find more 5-Star reviews from others on Amazon.

Miracles of Recovery received the first place President’s Award in nonfiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association.

Since her walk into recovery in 1999, Harriet has had one primary purpose: to show others how they can find hope and achieve their miracles while staying sober with a vision and determination to never go backwards, one day at a time.

Using her experience strength and hope, Harriet strives to be a conduit of hope and encouragement to others in their addictions, by showing them what continues to work for others. With practical tools, principles and promises as found in A.A., and other 12-step programs, she mirrors examples of how anyone can be free from the bondage of self, regardless of their situation.

Long Term Success In Recovery From Alcohol And Drug Abuse - A Change In Perception Is Key Says Harriet Hunter, Award-Winning Author Of 'Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations Of Hope, Courage and Faith'

Hunter's award-winning book features 365-powerful daily inspirations based on the A.A. 12 Step Program.

In the New York Times Best Seller, “The Book of Secrets,” Deepak Chopra speaks at the end of Chapter 6, “Freedom Tames the Mind,” about how real growth happens in many dimensions. “What happens to you, can affect how you think, feel, relate to others, behave in a given situation, fit into your surroundings, perceive the future or perceive yourself. All these dimensions must evolve in order for you to evolve.”

Harriet Hunter, award-winning author of “Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith” believes that having a change in perspective as a person in recovery, is vital to the long-term success in recovery.

"As with everything in life that we do, regardless of how small, efforts to change our perspective require a focused inner determination, a trust in the process of seeing our life and the people in it differently. To change anything demands a continued practice that speaks to our inner-self of being where we’re supposed to be. Even when what we ‘see’ cannot be relied upon, we come to believe that nothing is as it seems, but with consistency, it will feel the way it is supposed to be.

"Changing our perspective is an act of humility. It exclaims, ‘I never looked at it that way!’ It is a conscious willingness to set aside our own ideas and thoughts of what we think we know, to trust and embrace new ways of assessing and looking at some fact of our life, or person, or place, or thing through the eyes of awareness and transparency.

"To change our perspective is to cultivate a Universal Truth; that is, we think we have all the answers (to some situation, some place or thing,) but we do not. And we never will. Why is that? Because to have the answers is to believe we have need for nothing bigger than ourselves. In our minds, we have become the Almighty, believing erroneously we have answers for others and, of course, we do not. Answers concerning anyone other than ourselves belong to our Higher Power, and are none of our business.

"To change our perspective about ourself is to concede that somewhere, maybe not so deep down in the grey. In between black and white thinking lies enough of the answer we need to accept that nothing is ever as originally thought.

"When we change our perspective, we acknowledge and surrender to the fact that we don’t know what is right and just for us. The mere acknowledgment of this fact speaks to a departure, a shift in what we thought we knew about ourselves, to new visions of the person we want to be.

To a person so determined, this “reflection,” or shift in our perspective, discovers the beginning of an unmistakable change in direction in our present knowing. With this shift, comes the confidence in ourself, that assures a sustained positive energy, sufficient to overcome and not be deterred in the face of adversity. This change confirms our intuitive knowing and a rationalize steeped in emotional maturity and fortitude. Enmeshed within our highest-self, our vision and energized conviction is our ability to overcome anything. And with this strong mindset, we do."

Tools necessary to maintain sobriety and change one's life through changing one’s perspective are also proposed.

The author spurs the reader to embrace the belief that, regardless of challenges life presents, “NOTHING can change the course of recovery when you keep yourself, your sobriety, and your Higher Power first in your lives.” In short, Miracles of Recovery offers hope where there is none through a simple program of actions for complicated people.

Recovery From Alcoholism And Drug Abuse Can Be Achieved Through Faith, Hope And Courage Says Harriet Hunter, Award-Winning Author Of Miracles Of Recovery

Hunter's award-winning book, “Miracles Of Recovery: Daily Meditations Of Hope, Courage and Faith,” features 365-powerful daily inspirations based on the A.A. 12 Step Program.

Alcoholism is not a recent phenomenon. Alcoholism and other forms of addiction have been with us for thousands of years. Unfortunately, the situation is worsening today. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found increases in all categories and age groups in their 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. COVID, and all of its residual hardships, have dramatically accentuated the number being reported, including deaths from alcoholism, drugs and suicide.

Nobody is immune. Those who suffer from alcoholism can be found from the boardroom to the mail room. Celebrities who have battled alcohol addiction include the late Amy Winehouse, Shia LaBeouf, Bradley Cooper, Mel Gibson and Janeane Garofalo to name a few. Some of our coworkers, some of our neighbors and most likely some of our family members continue to suffer, most often in silence from alcoholism and drug abuse.

While there are many treatment approaches and programs, what is common to all successful individuals within a substance abuse program is the pain and the loneliness shared, together with an ongoing support system for the person battling the disease. That support system is what Harriet Hunter provides in Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith.

Featuring 365-daily inspirations. Miracles of Recovery was written not just for those addicted, but for the parents, the spouses - anyone touched by the disease because addiction is absolutely a family affair. Using the 12-Steps as its foundation, Miracles of Recovery embraces a holistic solution as a practical approach for those who must face life on life's terms, clean and sober. Encouraging and thought-provoking, Miracles of Recovery inspires with Universal Truths, “because,” Harriet says, “Once we know better, we do better.” Miracles of Recovery is written to show through example how to achieve long-term sobriety, regardless of what happens in one's life and brings a personal, sometimes raw reflection of the truth about addiction seldom seen elsewhere.

The new book encourages readers to embrace healthy, positive thoughts by taking the necessary actions to reinforce this new way of thinking. Miracles of Recovery provides the tools necessary to work the 12 Steps and change one's life by changing one’s perspective. It suggests that readers "Do life differently," through exercises, solutions, and methods to improve self-esteem, confidence, and embrace a profound sense of hope needed to succeed. The author encourages the reader to embrace the belief that, regardless of challenges life presents, “NOTHING can change the course of recovery when you keep yourself, your sobriety, and your Higher Power first in your lives.” In short, Miracles of Recovery offers hope where there is none through a simple program of actions for complicated people.

“Without the gift of desperation, (where we see ourselves overlooking the great crevasse of life or death,) we would never be able to face our own denial enough to admit that alcoholism and drug addiction are diseases of perception and that we would die trying to overcome,” Hunter stated. “In chronic drinkers gravely affected, we understand that alcoholism is progressive which makes it particularly deadly. People die not because of lengthy years of sobriety, and then they slip, but rather because they forget we are never cured, only through abstinence. We are not, ‘Like normal people, nor will we ever be.’ For instance, those of us in long-term recovery understand that once we cross that imaginary line of no return into alcoholic or drug insanity, we can never return to a normal life. We’ve heard it said ‘We cannot change a pickle back into a cucumber.’ We live with and understand the depth of our allergy, the psychological and long-term, often irreversible physiological effects our disease has on us.

“Alcoholism is well documented as being a three-fold disease that, once we pass through the phenomenon of craving, affects us physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is not a situation of weakness, of sloth, or of being pulled up by our bootstraps. ‘If it were that easy to quit there would BE no alcoholism!’ ‘We are drinking to overcome a craving beyond our mental control.’ (Taken from AA, page xxx}”

Hunter has received rave reviews for her work from readers and reviewers alike. Vernita Taylor of Readers Favorite stated, “Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage, and Faith by Harriet Hunter is a great choice if you’re struggling with addiction because it offers a full year of inspiration and affirmations which I enjoyed.

Author Tom Rieber Releases The Nine Irony, Suspenseful Thriller With A Recovering Alcoholic As Hero

Author’s book and personal life demonstrate how anyone can find a new self and a new life in sobriety

Author Tom Rieber has released his latest novel, The Nine Irony. The book is the first in a four part series that will feature Nick Thomas, a recovering alcoholic, as the primary hero of the story.

‘This book was born from a very special place within me,” stated Rieber, “as, much like Nick Thomas, I have found a new self in sobriety. I understand the world in which I live and in which I write.”

Rieber’s primary character, Nick Thomas, is a struggling mystery writer and a recovering alcoholic who lives in a small cottage in Cape Cod. He wears blue jeans, drives an old temperamental MG and listens to the Rolling Stones. He is also the victim of the perfect frame, is caught up in a web of deceit and suddenly ends up wanted for questioning in two gruesome murders.

Rieber’s philosophy mirrors that of his character. “In our society,” stated Mr. Rieber, “there is far too much negativity surrounding the issue of recovery. A great deal of that negativity is unwarranted. I intend to help overcome these undeserved judgments, attitudes and beliefs. I wish to offer a glimmer of hope to those who may suffer still; to offer a hand up. I do this every day in my personal life and I do this within the pages of this book.”

Mr. Rieber has worked as a staff writer and sports columnist for several newspapers in Coastal Connecticut. He has written and published numerous short stories nationally and has won awards on both the local and collegiate levels. He served in the Navy during the Vietnam war. Over twenty years ago he settled into a career in real estate where he stayed and flourished until his retirement in 2008. Mr. Rieber now resides in Ocean Isle Beach, NC, where he is involved in writing groups and hosts story writing workshops for children and young authors. He also volunteers at Brunswick Family Assistance, where he finds fulfillment helping those who are less fortunate. He is a true believer in himself and in others who wish to turn their life around.
