Inhaltsangabe

After the Addiction is a compassionate, survivor‑centered guide for the part of recovery most people never talk about: the life that begins once the substances are gone. This book doesn’t focus on the chaos of addiction. It focuses on the rebuilding, the relearning, and the rediscovering that happen when someone begins the quiet, courageous work of becoming a person they trust again.
Drawing on trauma‑informed practice, lived experience, and years of frontline support work, Lisa Kerkhof offers readers a grounded and accessible roadmap for navigating the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that emerge after substance use ends. She explains with warmth and clarity why healing can feel confusing or overwhelming, why old patterns resurface, and why recovery is about far more than abstinence.
Through reflective prompts, gentle education, and real‑world stories, readers learn how to rebuild trust with themselves and others, understand their nervous system and emotional triggers, set boundaries without guilt or fear, and heal the shame, grief, and inner criticism that often linger long after addiction. The book also guides readers in breaking cycles of self‑abandonment, creating a life rooted in meaning and connection, and developing sustainable habits that support long‑term wellness.
After the Addiction validates the complexity of recovery while empowering readers to reclaim their voice, their choices, and their future. It is not a book about surviving addiction. It is a book about learning to thrive.
