Addiction is a rising problem in America, costing heartbreak, tax dollars, and lives. Women in recovery often find the male-centered recovery approach off-putting and unworkable, while people of faith may be told by their leaders to avoid secular recovery altogether in favor of prayer and religious exercises. What are women of faith with experience in recovery to do when they can’t find any other answers?
Inez Sobczak provides a winning solution in Unlocking Me. While sharing her personal journey, Inez embodies the realities of trauma-caused addiction, outlines her failed attempts at recovery, identifies her personal rock-bottom, and shares her tools for beating addiction once and for all. The problem most addicts face, Inez believes, is a pain that demands to be addressed. Addiction is a failing attempt to handle trauma, not a stand-alone problem that can be cured solely by willpower.
Ending with a roadmap for future health and a thoughtful series of questions for personal growth and application, Inez brings to her writing the same warmth, encouragement, understanding, and humility that have made her personal wellness business such a success. FitNez, which Inez founded in 2009, handles numerous clients in the affluent D.C. area, and satisfied clients continue to stock her waiting list with recommendations. Unlocking Me captures the best of Inez Sobczak’s life experiences and professional excellence.
