Relationships in Recovery

Kelly Green's book makes a case that sobriety alone is not enough — that healing the relationships damaged by addiction is its own essential work, and one most recovery programs underserve. Drawing on her clinical experience and grounded in evidence-based practice, she walks readers through recognizing unhealthy patterns, setting real boundaries, rebuilding trust, and leaving harmful situations with integrity. Downloadable worksheets make the twelve chapters usable in individual self-help, as a therapy supplement, or as a group curriculum — a flexibility that is one of the book's real strengths. The honest caveat is that the secular clinical framework has no faith perspective, and the book is most naturally suited to people already in recovery or the clinicians supporting them. Published by Guilford Press in 2021, it fills a genuine gap with a credentialed, practical approach.
