Paul J. Wolanin's inspiring new book titled Chopping Wood and Carrying Water: One Day at a Time is 112 pages of encouragement and hope based on the 12-steps and practical psychology for all people in the process of recovery. Wolanin is first and foremost a recovering person. Since getting sober a few 24 hours ago, he has devoted his life to offering to others what was once offered to him - a chance at a new and rewarding life. In the pages of Chopping Wood and Carrying Water: One Day at a Time the reader is offered simple yet highly effective approaches to break away from of all kinds of limiting beliefs and behaviors: habits of negative thought, procrastination, worry and low self-esteem. Themes of acceptance, expectation, fear and self-imposed boundaries are also explored from Wolanin's extensive graduate education in psychology and his experiences working as an addictions and mental health therapist, all through his smooth and straightforward writing style. This devotional has spiritual roots. Wolanin believes that no real change in life is possible without a grounding faith in a Higher Power and the willingness to roll up one's sleeves and do the work that must be done - day in and day out. Recovery is hard work, but is a process that is highly rewarding. You can have a new and rewarding life free from destructive patterns of thought and behavior. You can realize your potential and live the kind of life you have always wanted to. Wolanin offers the keys which will unlock the door to your new life, one day at a time.
