One in the Spirit: Meditation Course for Recovering Couples
by John & Elaine Leadem
One in the Spirit is a meditative course in spiritual and emotional intimacy written for couples involved in 12 Step fellowships. When the honeymoon of early recovery fades, most of us become keenly aware that there is a great deal more to do after taking a First Step. The identification of our powerlessness and unmanageability was the beginning of a process that creates the depth of personal change that would allow us to participate fully in a committed love relationship. This course is designed to help you and your partner apply the principles of recovery from addictive illnesses to your relationship.
