Kimberley’s newest book, titled "Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction

Alcohol and substance abuse disorders have baffled medical practitioners for centuries. Addiction is more than a neurological or physical disorder. It is a malady that eats at the soul. Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction merges ancient wisdom with neuroscience and introduces the powerful effects of spiritual practices to heal the overall damages of addiction. It answers the questions, “What is spirituality, how do we find it, nurture it, and live it – and how do we apply it to healing from a soul-crushing disease?”

Unlike most books on the market that discuss “meditation” as a tool for recovery, this book discusses “spirituality” (of which meditation is a part) as a path to recovery. While neuroscientists have proven that spiritual practices positively affect and heal brain areas, no book has taken the wisdom of ancient spiritual guidance and applied it to treating addiction. It takes a unique and proven approach that breaks through outdated ideas to bring a sea-change in how we can achieve long-term recovery.
