Summary

Guilt In Recovery addresses the crucial, often overlooked role of guilt in addiction recovery and emotional well-being. Understanding how unresolved guilt can undermine sobriety, the book offers practical strategies for managing this complex emotion. It distinguishes between healthy remorse, which motivates positive change, and toxic shame, which can trigger relapse. By exploring the origins of guilt—tracing them to childhood experiences and societal norms—the book highlights how acknowledging and processing guilt is vital for sustained recovery.

 
The book progresses by first defining guilt and differentiating it from similar emotions. From there, it explores how guilt manifests in self-sabotage and relationship difficulties. Readers gain insights from case studies, clinical research, and personal accounts, synthesizing findings from therapies like CBT and DBT.

 
Ultimately, Guilt In Recovery provides a step-by-step approach to managing guilt, offering coping mechanisms like cognitive restructuring and mindfulness, empowering readers to transform guilt into a catalyst for self-compassion and personal growth.

True Crime: Missouri - The...

David J Krajicek

Eleven stories of deadly doings in Missouri by “a standout writer of terse, staccato prose and vivid details” (The Omaha Reader).   Missouri has a bloody history dating back to frontier days—not just in St. Louis or Kansas City but in small towns and rural hamlets where one local summed up how Missourians prefer to handle conflicts: You shoot, you shovel, and you shut up. In this book, David J. Krajicek recounts eleven true tales of shocking and infamous crimes in the state, among them:     The St. Louis barroom murder that inspired the popular song “Stagger Lee”   The vigilante killing of Ken McElroy, the “town bully” of tiny Skidmore, MO   The heartless kidnapping and murder of millionaire Robert Greenlease’s son in Kansas City by a couple of St. Joseph barflies  The Kirkwood City Council massacre  The “throwaway” serial killings of over a dozen young prostitutes in Kansas City by a garbage collector  The forgotten story of “Cockeyed” Cook, a lost soul from Joplin who massacred an entire family and dumped them down a mineshaft  The “American Gothic” killers, farmer Ray Copeland and his wife, Faye, who murdered their farmhands near Chillicothe in a bizarre plot to make money—but made the mistake of planting their human crop too shallow  And more

Little Women Podcast: The...

Niina Niskanen

There was a real-life Friedrich Bhaer. In fact, Louisa May Alcott wanted to marry him and even start a school with him. This man appears in literal disguises in all of her novels. He is Friedrich in Little Women, Mac in Rose in Bloom and David in Work and many more. Henry and Louisa shared a deep friendship, was it more than friendship? In Little Women Jo's and Friedrich's age gap is 16 years. It is the same age difference as between Henry and Louisa.
One of the models for Jo and Friedrich might be Louisa's friend Elizabeth and her husband. Her life was surprisingly similar to the book Jo. She wasn't a writer, but there are parallels. Based on what I have found, her marriage with her lawyer husband was a happy one. She was devoted to the educational work and in the same way, as Jo does, she promoted co-education, for both male and female students. She became a dean of the university. Same way as Jo who becomes the matriarch of the Bhaer Academy in "Jo´s Boys"..
There is a very compelling case to be made that Henry David Thoreau was the real-life Friedrich Bhaer. Louisa once called her friend Emerson "The God of my idolatry" but it was Henry who merited her lifelong affection. The ties between Henry and the Alcotts are more extensive than one might expect. From the time when the Alcotts moved to Concord in March 1840 until Henry's passing in 1862. He was a frequent guest in the Alcott´s home taking tea or dinner with the family. Bronson who admired the young man's intellect often visited him in his hut at Walden Pond. If the connection between Henry and the Alcotts was strong, the connection between Louisa and Henry was even stronger
