“Those who have felt the twelve-step program was alien for them; and have, therefore, avoided a recovery program, will find that Kesselman’s approach eliminates these objections. “

“I have carefully read your book, ‘Recovery with Me,’ and I was very favorably impressed. There are many questions on the 12-steps program of recovery which are explained in you book more completely and logically than I’ve seen anywhere else. We’ve used materials from Hazelden and other prominent authoritative resources, but Recover with Me is unique in its ability to shed light on the answers for how to understand and perform the twelve steps. Your book deserves to be considered a classic.”
ROY EVANS, President Bridge Back Inc.

“The author honestly opens his heart and allows us to experience his thoughts along the journey he took to wellness and beyond. I trust his message and I know that his book will help many people get well.”

Recover with Me (Fort Meyers, FL: The Recovery Press), by Lynn “Kaye” Kesselman, is a twelve-step recovery program that differs from others in several ways. First, the author wrote it while experiencing his own recovery, addressing his own need to make sense of every idea before he was able to try it wholeheartedly. Second, he focuses on his own experiences in the first three parts of the book: “My goal . . . is to help you take the steps informally with me, before you try to apply them to yourself.” By providing this preliminary fellowship, he opens the opportunity for recovery to others who are stalled before they begin. A self-proclaimed “wise guy,” he initially resisted the twelve-step program of recovery because he felt that those who recommended it “didn’t understand as much as I did, especially about me. I saw its simple instructions working for many people who did just what they were told and didn’t question it so much, but that simpler, trusting path was not for me.” Yet his own questioning path “worked so wonderfully well for me and for others . . . that I decided to take their suggestion and write it all down for others to use; other guys like me who ask a lot of questions and don’t give their trust to new ideas so easily.”

This book rings authentically true on every page, and confronts many of the issues that have annoyed/confused/irritated/distracted those of us whose cognitive makeup (and perhaps intellectual honor) demand that we examine concepts before adopting them. Even for those without recovery issues, it’s a respectful guide for exploring the darker intricacies of our selves and souls. Lynn Kesselman was ordained by AIWP in 2002 as a psychotherapist, CCDC.
