Essential Addiction Recovery Books to Support Your Journey

Hey, I wanted to share something that’s been on my mind lately—addiction recovery books. Whether you’re personally working through recovery or just looking to understand and support someone on that path, having a few solid books in your corner can make a huge difference. These aren’t just about the “what” of addiction but about guiding you into personal transformation, self-care, and creating a healthy lifestyle that sticks.

Addiction recovery is more than just stopping a behavior; it’s about rebuilding your life and nurturing your mental health in a way that feels whole and lasting. You’ll find that many of the best books weave together practical tools with inspiration and wisdom that help foster mindfulness, wellness, and self-help strategies to keep you moving forward.

So, let me walk you through some powerful reads that have been game changers for many on this journey.

"The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober" by Catherine Gray - This book is wonderful because it flips the narrative on sobriety—it's not about what you’re giving up, but what you’re gaining in wellness and personal transformation. Catherine Gray shares her journey with honesty, humor, and encouragement, making recovery feel accessible and hopeful.
2. "Clean: Overcoming Addiction and Ending America’s Greatest Tragedy" by David Sheff - Sheff’s book combines personal stories, scientific research, and practical advice to give a well-rounded understanding of addiction recovery.

Carver - This workbook style offers actionable tools, exercises, and reflections for anyone serious about making lasting change.
