Even more helpful for those of us who use books as part of our support group, Michael Picucci makes himself available to us. He’s open in a way that makes readers relate to him like an old friend — and a guide through even the later, more complex stages of recovery.

This is as good as bibliotherapy gets, so if you can only afford a few books on recovery, be sure this one is on your list!”

“Michael’s book is an important statement concerning the evolution of addiction recovery, which is the process of self-discovery that underpins all healing approaches. We are moving beyond ‘pathologizing’ ourselves which keeps us stuck in the past, and learning to view our symptoms as those of ‘birthing a new consciousness.’ Michael Picucci’s book addresses this shift in perspective that can make us whole.”

“...a uniquely credible perspective on healing and wholeness. In his cogent, well-organized handbook, Picucci functions a bit like the gay shamans who had a special place in North-American Indian tribes. His compassionate acceptance of diversity will inspire many readers to care to take the next step and seek the help they need.”

“Recovery takes on new meaning in Dr. Michael Picucci’s The Journey Toward Complete Recovery. He expands our hearts and opens our minds to the wonders, the growth and the tremendous rewards of a holistic, ongoing approach in recovering the lost parts of our Self. Anyone touched by the dis-ease of addictions or ‘blocked energy,’ will be awakened and transformed by this work, as I have. He gives both promise and hope.”
