Title : Visual cues trigger emotions
Abstract:
Picture Recovery is a visual roadmap through the journey of alcohol recovery. It's much easier to remember a picture than words, and with 65 percent of the population identifying as a visual learner, this is the only book of its kind in the alcoholism recovery category. This visual aid (relatable images!) is intended to help people stay on the recovery path. It's a great companion to attending meetings, other literature and connecting with people doing well in the program. Mia’s readers should be confident that this is a necessary companion to attendingmeetings because she used it herself and is now close to three decades sober! It is difficult to recall what is said in meetings, especially at the beginning of the journey, and this was the recall tool she relied on, especially in difficult times. Created from over 30 years of Mia’s sobriety journey attending meetings, Picture Recovery is a reminder to slow down, and find more self compassion. Mia’s goal is to help others like herself who need visuals to retain the suggestions of the program. This book was created to help people recall the incredible suggestions heard in recovery rooms. These images are a reminder to all suffering that each day is an opportunity to discover an amazing potential. Picture Recovery’s goal is to have the reader spot their true super sober self. Together with her editor, the books’ mission is to help save one life.
