Climbing the Stairs: My Journey from Addiction to Pure Joy

A powerful memoir of a recovery journey from alcohol addiction to a life filled with joy, and mindfulness. Cheryl has not only transformed her own life through her recovery journey, but is also following a calling to be vulnerable and share that journey in the hopes of helping others find a more meaningful and joyful life.

She shares with readers a number of recovery options, including her experience spent in an addiction rehabilitation facility. However, as she describes, recovery is not just about overcoming alcohol, drugs, eating disorders, sexual, gambling and other addictions; it is about embracing our lives and putting into place solid tools and routines to ensure success and finding more enjoyment in our remaining time on this planet.

More importantly, this journey includes the many facets of maintaining sobriety that Cheryl follows today including a variety of tools for the reader’s consideration. Her tools include Kundalini Yoga (the yoga of awareness), journaling, mindfulness and meditation to name a few, which she uses to support her ongoing growth and well-being.

This book is for all people wanting to find a more peaceful and joyous life, not just those who start that pursuit with recovery.
