Great Recovery Quotes and Stories to Inspire Great Healing and Great Recovery Quotes and Stories to Inspire Great Healers are the two latest releases in the Heroes in Recovery book series. The books include inspiring quotes intertwined with stories of wisdom, compassion and strength. The personal stories included originate from individuals impacted by and/or currently working in the field of addiction and recovery.

This pair of books is useful in a variety of situations and circumstances and especially for parents, relatives, teachers, therapists, counselors, interventionists, clinicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, treatment providers and any individuals affected by recovery. Author Noah benShea comments, "Both addiction and recovery are part of the human experience across time. And wherever you are at this moment in your life, take these three truths to heart: You are not alone, there is no shame in being ill and there is courage in healing."

Books can be purchased from Amazon.com and Central Recovery Press.

About Heroes in Recovery:
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 23 million people needed treatment last year and only 3 million sought help. That means 10 million Americans did not receive needed mental health care. The stigma associated with substance abuse and mental health disorders creates a significant barrier that keeps individuals and families from seeking help.

Heroes in Recovery is a grassroots movement intended to remove the social stigma associated with people who are in recovery, to recognize the heroic effort it takes to overcome the obstacles in seeking help, and to celebrate the act of preventing the past from kidnapping the future. While the movement initially focuses on those recovering from addictive behavior, it is meant also to recognize heroes recovering from many other types of disorders and trauma that can often accompany an addiction.

Each Heroes in Recovery 6K race serves as an educational tool for the community and also reminds individuals who are on a personal journey of recovery that many others are on that road with them. For more information or to register for any of the Heroes 6K races, go to HeroesInRecovery6K.com.
