Progressive Recovery Resources
Finding What You Need
As described in the earlier segments, we’ve tried to provide a number of free or very inexpensive resources. Following is a guide to those.
Recovery Sessions #1 - Twelve Steps through the Experience of Others
Season 1 of the Recovery Sessions provides long-format interviews with those who have been practicing the Twelve Steps with a Progressive Recovery orientation. You can listen to them describe their experiences through a step-based orientation that may prove to provide you with whole new ways of thinking about your recovery.
Recovery Sessions #2 - Lessons Learned through the Practices of Others
Addiction recovery from substance abuse is a journey traveled on many paths, but a common pattern that emerges in all stories of successful long-term recovery is an exploration of spiritual issues, in addition to tending to the emotional and physical issues of addiction. Season 2 of The Recovery Sessions aims to explore those paths traveled through non-traditional spiritual recovery explorations.
Recovery Sessions #3 - Recovery by the Children of those in Recovery
This series of Recovery Sessions, Season #3, provides an opportunity to learn from those who came to recovery influenced by the recovery of their parents or other caregivers. It is a beautiful though sometimes painful testimony to the benefits of recovery. These sessions remind us of the power of recovery across generations.
Recovery Sessions #4 - Emotionally Sober for Life
Because of an increasing interest in the idea of emotional sobriety, it became clear it was time for people in long-term or progressive recovery to tell their stories about emotional sobriety through Season 4 of The Recovery Sessions.
Progressive Content
Along the way, we have discovered a wide variety of alternative perspectives and practices. Because in recovery we are called to be open-minded and to continuously grow along spiritual lines, as we find items that are useful to a Progressive Recovery we encourage you to explore them.
The Twelve Steps Through Ron’s Practice and Learning
Quite early in the development of Progressive Recovery, people in recovery began to ask Ron for more information about how he practices the steps. In response, he recorded a series of step-oriented pieces that we continue to retain because they allow us to glimpse the evolution of thinking and practices. Some will find these audio files useful by hearing Ron speak of his own experiences with the Twelve Steps.

Progressive Recovery through the Twelve Steps: Emotionally Sober for Life
You can purchase a copy of the book in paperback, e-book, or audio book at Amazon.
Progressive Recovery and Meditation
Because Step 11 and Meditation play such an important part in Progressive Recovery, we created meditations which can also be found on the site.
And given that Meditation has much broader uses, and in response to requests, Ron also created Breathing, Releasing and Breaking Through: A Practice for Seeing True – Guided Breathwork Meditation. This workshop in a box has been useful to many, especially the third collection which practices in ways very effective for emotional sobriety.
You can purchase this as a CD or audio set or Audiobook at Amazon.
