The Recovery Rosary: Meditations for Those Impacted by Addiction, Compulsions, and Unhealthy Attachments

The Recovery Rosary shows you how to pray and meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary to strengthen your spiritual life as a Catholic working the Twelve Steps of recovery or accompanying a loved one who is. For use by individuals or in small groups, this book will deepen your relationships with Jesus and Mary, teaching you to draw strength from Catholic tradition as it meets the power and promise of Twelve Step recovery.

Meditations on each of the twenty mysteries of the Rosary form the heart of this book. These are personalized reflections that welcome you into their writers' stories of addiction, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, lust-related addictions, compulsive/disordered eating behaviors, being a loved one of an addict, and more. Offering hope, wisdom, and encouragement, these meditations open doors to freedom and healing no matter where you are on your journey toward recovery.

Pray and reflect on each of the twenty mysteries of the Rosary with:

• a relevant excerpt from the Bible or a papal document
• a personalized meditation written by a member of the Catholic in Recovery (CIR) community
• three questions to prompt deeper reflection, which can be used for individual prayer and reflection or group discussion.
