Books by Emma Gardner

Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. What if the path that helps someone else isn't the path that helps you? AA Is Not The Only Way brings together inspiring conversations and guest stories from The Healing Odyssey Podcast, sharing honest experiences of addiction, ADHD, trauma, burnout, grief, mental health and recovery. Inside you'll discover people from many different walks of life who have found hope in different ways. Some chose Alcoholics Anonymous. Others found healing through therapy, medication, faith, community, creativity, diagnosis, or simply one small step at a time. This book isn't about replacing one recovery pathway with another. It's about recognising that healing looks different for everyone. If you've ever felt like you didn't quite fit the traditional mould, this book is for you. Inside you'll find 💜 Real stories from real people 🎙️ Conversations inspired by The Healing Odyssey Podcast 🧠 ADHD-informed insights 🌱 Recovery, resilience and hope 📚 Reflection points and practical takeaways Whether you're supporting someone you love, beginning your own recovery journey or simply want to understand addiction and human behaviour more deeply, I hope these stories remind you of one thing: You are not alone, and there is more than one way forward.   About the Author Emma Gardner is an author, speaker and host of The Healing Odyssey Podcast.
