Walking back from the crack dealer's house was always the hard part. With her seven-year-old in tow, no promise of "never again" could convince. Even seven-year-olds know better than that. Fast forward to another life and another chance: Walking off stage at Madison Square Garden - after singing with Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Beyonce' or Barbra Streisand.
And into a mission worth living for.
Ester Nicholson, renown vocalist, former addict, teacher and author presents her new book: Soul Recovery - 12 Keys to Healing Addiction - to be released by Agape Media & HayHouse on June 7, 2013. Soul Recovery, the process that Ms. Nicholson developed to heal herself of cocaine addiction – unifying the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous with metaphysical principles and practices – has guided thousands to their recovery and highest potential.
In a 12-week process of study and practice, Soul Recovery shares the stories, inspirations and "Keys" to Ester's unlikely and transformative journey from addiction and domestic violence to healing, serenity and success. In the process, the book challenges the recovery community to a profound re-examination of how addiction and dependence can be managed and ultimately healed.
Healing comes from looking in the mirror and facing the truth. Twenty-five years ago, when Ester Nicholson looked in the mirror, she saw a broken young woman—a teenaged mom hopelessly addicted to crack, food, abusive relationships, anything to bury her shame and self-hatred. Today, Ester is an acclaimed healer with a breakthrough spiritual approach to the 12-Step recovery process that’s proven more effective because of its integration with empowering divinity-within principals.
With her book Soul Recovery - 12 Keys to Healing Addiction (Agape Media/Hay House) she tells her profoundly inspiring story and systematically reveals the spiritually transforming process she used to liberate herself from crippling addiction. “Our day-to-day dealings are grounded in our root beliefs, and those beliefs are predicated on what I call ‘core wounds,’” Ester explains. “The more we can heal those core wounds, the more we can experience wholeness and live a life of purpose and strength.”
Ester Nicholson's Soul Recovery, to be released on June 7, 2013, unlocks the patterns of dependence as they show up in substance, food, relationship, behavioral and other areas of life. She guides the reader through a 12 week process of study and practice, while fearlessly sharing her inspiring journey from addiction and domestic abuse to a new world of wholeness, serenity and success. Through examples and daily practices, Ms Nicholson reveals the keys that saved her life and the spiritual technology that can carry you to your healing, your power and your dreams.
The Soul Recovery process works deeply with life patterns to create a soul-centered awareness that is so profound that dependence and problems are dissolved in the face of it. While Soul Recovery uses the language of those suffering from addiction, its lessons and exercises are universally applicable to people of all ages, in all walks of life and experience.
Ester Nicholson, a celebrated vocalist formerly with Bette Midler and Rod Stewart, is a gifted speaker, teacher, former addict and now author of Soul Recovery - 12 Keys to Healing Addiction. Ms. Nicholson has spent the past 10 years unifying the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step process with metaphysical principles that have re-defined what success looks like in the treatment of addiction and dependence. Her new book Soul Recovery outlines these processes and tells the story of a broken and seemingly powerless girl and how she developed the Soul Recovery process in the course of her own healing from addiction.
