Just Snap Your Fingers And Bingo You Re Sober

"Combining: Spirituality with Hypnotherapy."

In his book, "Just Snap Your Fingers and.Bingo You're Sober," author Maurice Murray provides recovering alcoholics with an extensive guide to overcoming alcoholism by tapping into their thought processes and spirituality. At the age of sixty eight, Murray, a recovering alcoholic, demonstrates that it is never too late to start the healing process. His workbook is arranged in five chapters: Recovery Your Way (how alcohol works on the mind, accepting responsibility, and understanding the meaning of love as it applies to objects, people, and God, ) God Fixes Cracked Pots (relationships between the thought process and attitude, ) The Chair's Fixed, Relax and Sit in It (self-realization, self awareness, one's personal relationship with God, ) Swat That Bee on Your Recovery Doorknob (how feelings are connected to our thought processes and behavior, learning to listen, feel, and visualize to achieve a new emotional balance, ) and Bingo You're Sober (self hypnosis as a tool for instilling spiritual and mental recovery skills.) The book is peppered with spiritual and philosophical anecdotes intended to provide positive reinforcement and hope. Murray draws on a lifetime of experience to present relevant stories in the form of thoughtful and sometimes comical anecdotes meant to inspire recovering alcoholics to stay on the healing path. The main message of the book is that alcoholism is a disease that can be defeated. Part of recovery entails understanding how your thought processes work, changing them, and recognizing the power spirituality plays in the recovery process. One essential message Murray imparts: Your life isn't hopeless. It is your negative thoughts that have led you to believe it is hopeless. As Murray states, "Recovery requires conscious and continuous positive actions." Bingo You're Sober offers clarity, the resolve to recover, and finding peace during a difficult period of one's life.

CONCISE CAR® the rubrics of CAR® are similar to other Cognitive Apprenticeship Methodology's: "Watch It Do It Know It." CAR's unique power to facilitate recovery is derived by adding the ingredients of "The Way of Analogy" and "The Concept of the Singular." You might want to start by first reading Chapter 5 in "Bingo": the chair's fixed, relax and sit in it as a way to preempt any confusion about how "The Way of Analogy" is being used in "Relationship Associations." Here is the traditional (Thomas Aquinas) "Way of Analogy": Red is Red: and yet a horse is Red, with a "horsey" Redness. CAR® melds this with "The Concept of the Singular" [i.e. Remember Philosophy 101. the Universal Chair of the Greeks was the perfect chair; then came "the Particular" chair (Lounge Chairs); then came "the Singular" chair (your Dad's old Morris chair with the cigar burns on the right arm)] to get its synergism. CAR® is a "Singular Analogous Relationship Driven" Recovery modality and as such, less easily defined than experienced. CAR® methodology is already at work "within" you even before you start to read these books. You already know (you are ultimately aware) that you are "within the answer." "The 'Good News' is... you are in Recovery now!" This is proclaimed at the beginning of all three books. "The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others." Solomon Ibn Gabriol Respectfully submitted...
