Sober by Grace

Long before the Twelve Steps were published, Venerable Matt Talbot found lasting sobriety in 1884 through daily Mass, confession, and Catholic prayer.

For Catholics in recovery, secular twelve-step programs can feel disconnected from church teaching. *The Catholic Big Book of Recovery* is a spiritual guide that unites the Twelve Steps with Catholic theology and saintly intercession, showing how step work aligns directly with the sacraments.

Inside, you will find:
- The spiritual example of Venerable Matt Talbot, from his 1884 conversion to his routine hauling timber on Dublin's North Wall.
- Guidance linking twelve-step recovery directly to Catholic sacraments, including Penance, the Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick.
- An examination of conscience structured to prepare for Sacramental Confession during Step Four inventory work.
- Intercessory prayer sections for saints including St. Augustine, St. Jude, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and St. Teresa of Avila.
- Daily spiritual practices incorporating Lectio Divina, Eucharistic Adoration, and morning offering prayers.
- THE COMPLETE ROSARY GUIDE covering all 20 Mysteries for daily sober living.
- Chapter reflection pages built for quiet self-examination and review.

This guide is for adult Catholics seeking to heal from addiction without compromising their beliefs. You will walk away with a concrete, faith-based recovery path rooted in Catholic tradition.
