GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" portrayed the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as a lost cause until he was reformed by ghost visits. Debuting author Anna Fruehling, in her first publishing foray "An Altered Spirit" (published by Balboa Press), uses this classic story to offer hope and inspiration to those who are recovering from addiction.
In a creative presentation, Fruehling compares the 12 steps of addiction recovery with the characters of Dickens "A Christmas Carol" — a timeless tale that has both haunted and buoyed her since she began her recovery in fellowship on March 19, 1989. With the intent of highlighting the power of each of the 12 steps interlaced with valuable spiritual principles, she leads others through Scrooge's internal struggles. Marley reminds him that "these are the chains you forged in life," introduces him to three ghosts, and provides him with hope that he can escape his fate and become all his higher power intends him to be.
"An Altered Spirit" is a simple yet profound story that allows readers to view the 12-step process to recovery in a new way to ultimately realize a transformed life. It aims to show people that change is possible.
