Daily Companion for Healing Addictions 978-1-947070-26-4

Daily Companion for Healing Addictions is written by Allan F. Wright, husband and father of four and offers a word of encouragement to those on the front lines of caring for others with addictions and those who have addictions and helps them strengthen their relationship with Christ each day and provides hope. Each reading begins with a brief quote from Sacred Scripture, a writing of a saint or an inspirational teaching from the Church followed by a reflection and ends with a prayer. A great way to begin or end each day for those who struggle with sobriety and fighting the good fight to follow whatever 12 Step program or path to recovery they are in. This book is an excellent gift for anyone dealing with addiction or offering companionship to those who are addicted.

A daily companion book rooted in Catholic spirituality offers profound benefits for those struggling with addictions, providing a steady source of hope, strength, and renewal. Tailored to their journey, it combines faith, practical wisdom, and the Church's teachings to support recovery and foster a deeper connection with God.

One key benefit is spiritual encouragement. Addiction often breeds despair and isolation, but a daily reflection--drawing on Scripture, prayers like the Serenity Prayer, or lives of saints like St. Maximilian Kolbe (who overcame personal struggles)--reminds individuals of God's mercy and their inherent dignity. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2288) emphasizes respect for bodily and spiritual health, framing recovery as a holy endeavor. This perspective shifts the battle from shame to redemption.

Another advantage of this book is structure. Addiction thrives in chaos, but a companion book offers a consistent touchpoint. Reading a short passage each day--perhaps paired with a step from a recovery program--builds a habit of mindfulness and accountability. Research, like a 2020 study in Addiction Research & Theory, shows that spiritual routines enhance self-discipline and reduce relapse rates, making this practice a lifeline for sobriety.

It also fosters resilience. Reflections on Christ's suffering or the promise of grace (2 Corinthians 12:9) equip individuals to face cravings and setbacks with courage. By inviting God into their struggle, they tap into divine strength, countering the powerlessness addiction imposes.

Finally, it combats loneliness. A companion book connects readers to the universal Church, reinforcing that they're not alone. For Catholics battling addiction, this daily resource becomes a portable guide, blending faith and recovery to lead them toward healing, freedom, and a restored life in Christ.
