This book was a refreshing take on recovery. The information is well-organized and easy to follow, which made it enjoyable to read. I’m definitely looking to implement some of the mindfulness practices it suggests.

I appreciated its unique approach, especially for those seeking alternatives to traditional recovery paths like Alcoholics Anonymous. The mindfulness techniques draw on Eastern traditions and don’t require any religious beliefs, making it accessible to a wider audience. It offers practical exercises and prompts that encourage self-reflection without any judgment. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to make a positive change in their life

I've been hearing about mindfulness and meditation lately especially my daughter, but had noone to explain it to me or walk me through the process as this book does!

As someone with 21 years of recovery from a drug and alcohol addiction, I am always looking for new tools to add to my recovery tool box. Prayer and meditation have been key for me over the years and I have loved learning about mindfulness practices over the years.

This book is just what the world needs. A small, easy to read book that incorporates mindfulness into 12 step work.

Beverly Conyers is a trusted voice in recovery communities and this book is evidence as to why she has earned our trust.

Buy this for yourself and anyone you know in recovery. Add this to your libraries literature tables too!

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

I'm not in recovery, but this has solid approaches to mindfulness regardless of your orientation and challenges. Lots of suggestions/exercises/practices that may benefit readers.

I really appreciate the NetGalley copy for review!!

A different approach for people seeking a different path to recovery and overcoming addiction. Drawing on eastern traditions, the practice of mindfulness described here does not require religious belief, which will appeal to those looking for something less Christian-centric than Alcoholics Anonymous. Includes practice exercises with various prompts.

Find Your Light is a excellent book for those in recovery for addiction who are interested in mindfulness. Well written.

An introduction to mindfulness aimed at those in recovery from addiction, which for the purpose of this book means anyone who uses unhealthy distractions in an excessive way (from drugs and alcohol to food or the internet). This volume succeeds at offering ways to add a little mindfulness to every day life - and reasons why you should make the effort - in readable text and without judgement or blame. Definitely recommend this for anyone who needs to make a change in their life, no matter what their struggle. In fact, going to buy this one for my sister!
