Easy Does It, Mom: Parenting in Recovery

“A chance for moms to catch their breath and refocus . . . Embracing the lessons . . . will help you to continue to make the world a better place.”—Mary Rita Schilke Korzan, author of When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking: A Book of Thanks for Mom Every mom wants to succeed. Every child also wants to succeed. In Easy Does It, Mom, Barbara Joy provides moms with positive encouragement, knowledge, and tools they can begin using immediately as they continue their recovery and move toward being the best moms they can be. Joy relies on experts with degrees and experts with “mom” behind their name. For more than ten years, Barbara Joy has worked with moms in recovery from alcoholism and other addictions. She knows what works. Plus, she includes real-life stories and strategies from the moms and children she works with. The reader is guided by a professional and encouraged and inspired by moms who have “been there, done that.” Because moms in recovery feel more safe and secure in a familiar and consistent environment, each chapter begins with an encouraging saying and ends with a writing activity, plus between four to eight clear and concise keys are presented in the chapter—an at-a-glance tools reference section. For moms in recovery, Barbara says, “Other than your recovery, I believe that parenting is the most important job you’ll ever do. It may also very well be the hardest job you’ll ever do. And, for sure, the most rewarding!”

“So moms read Barbara Joy’s words of wisdom and raise children who will make a difference and until she writes Easy Does It, Dad I recommend that fathers read it too.”—Bernie Siegel, M.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Medicine and Miracles
