Liberated Recovery Tools, No Strings Attached

Welcome to an ever-growing library of free recovery-focused eBooks, handpicked from the internet’s hidden corners. .

Take What You Need No Barriers.

Everything’s here, No strings attached. No gatekeepers. Just real tools to help you breathe, heal, and break free.

I believe knowledge must be free and accessible.

Money has always limited education—especially for people battling addiction and the allies helping them heal. The need is greatest where resources are scarcest.

I also respect that creators survive on sales. So if you can, support them: buy books that move you and share them with recovery centers or those who are struggling.

But here, there’s no catch—no ads, links, memberships, or hidden agendas. I don’t want anything from you. My only aim is to give you tools to help break free from addiction’s grip.

Everything here is FREE… 

Free as in FREEDOM!!

Which journey are you on...

This section is for you. Whether you’re just starting out, deep in the work, or somewhere in the messy middle, I’m curating a collection of free books and tools that speak to the realness of recovery—no sugarcoating, no shame, and definitely no preaching.

These materials include workbooks, mindfulness practices, and alternative recovery paths that center your autonomy, your healing, and your voice. They’re here to help you explore what works for you—whether that means learning to sit with your emotions, reworking your relationship to craving, or just finding something that doesn’t make you roll your eyes.

Everything here is free, accessible, and grounded in the idea that you don’t need to be “fixed”—you just need space, support, and a path that actually makes sense.

The goal is to make it easier for you to keep showing up, stay inspired, and bring fresh, effective material into your work without having to dig through paywalls or corporate BS.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your skills, try new modalities, or just need something solid to run a group tomorrow, you’ll find materials here that support recovery in a real, practical, and human way.

No dogma, no judgment—just practical tools for waking up, one breath at a time.
