A transformative and much-needed contribution to the recovery literature, Dr. Bruce D. LeBlanc releases his powerful new book, Embracing Your Human Spirit – Your Spirituality – Within Substance Use Disorder Recovery, along with its companion workbook. Created with compassion, insight, and decades of experience, this book offers a refreshing and inclusive understanding of spirituality—one that welcomes every individual, regardless of belief system.
In the journey of recovery, spirituality is often misunderstood or equated solely with religious identity. As a result, many people distance themselves from the concept altogether. Dr. LeBlanc recognizes this hesitation and addresses it with clarity and empathy. His book makes a compelling case that spirituality is not limited to religious practice but is an inherent aspect of being human—your inner drive, awareness, purpose, and sense of connection.
What sets this book apart is its openness. Whether you identify as atheist, agnostic, psychologically oriented, spiritual but not religious, or someone who follows a specific religious tradition, Dr. LeBlanc’s guidance embraces you fully. He encourages readers to explore and enact their own unique “human spirit orientation” as a source of strength, resilience, and inner healing.
Designed as both a book and a practical workbook, it helps readers actively engage with their beliefs, values, and personal growth as they move through recovery. Through meaningful exercises and reflective passages, it becomes a supportive companion—one that does not preach but empowers, helping individuals understand how spirituality can anchor sobriety and promote lasting recovery.
In a world where many struggle to find grounding during their healing journey, Embracing Your Human Spirit stands as a beacon of acceptance and encouragement. Dr. LeBlanc reminds us that spirituality is not something you must adopt—it is something you already possess. This book simply helps you discover it, nurture it, and use it to walk confidently on the path to recovery.
A must-read for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding within their recovery journey, as well as for counselors, support workers, and loved ones of those in treatment, this release promises to inspire, uplift, and transform lives.
