Life can get messy and painful just when we think we're doing well. Roots of personal and generational trauma can break the surface again unexpectedly.It happened to Ian Morgan Cron in the form of a relapse at an unlikely time in his life: thirty years of sobriety from alcohol, the happy surprise of publishing success, life going well by most measures. Yet despite all his hard work processing the past, it came back to bite him. He began self-medicating under cover of prescription drugs and landed in residential rehab.In The Fix Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Ian employs his characteristic humor and pithy wit--along with some agonizing self-disclosure--to guide readers through his own mid-life double-take on the 12 Steps. Yes, they save the lives of addicts by getting users into sobriety. But they also lead individuals into profound spiritual awakenings, as millions of members across eight decades of AA history have testified."I'm not an addiction counselor. I'm not a researcher into the science of addiction. I'm not a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating people with substance-use disorders," writes Ian. "But my relapse and the solution I found for it are fresh and vivid in my mind. What I've gleaned is worth more to me now than ever. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come with me on this journey. If you don't mind following a gimpy guide who can help you trudge the road to recovery, then I'm your guy."

?Insightful, humorous, practical, this book will not only help you understand the story you're telling yourself but also reveal a new story that allows you to love better.?? Russell Moore, director of the Public Theology Project at Christianity TodayIn this powerful, transformational guide, the author of the bestselling book The Road Back to You breaks new ground with the Enneagram?the ancient personality typing system?by revealing how each of us inhabits a broken story that runs counter to the Larger Story of divine grace and who we were created to be.Drawing on his training as a psychotherapist and his own personal experience, Ian Cron explains how you can:rewrite the self-sabotaging stories you tell yourself about who you are,free yourself from the tyranny of unconscious childhood messages, andovercome the self-defeating patterns of behavior that prevent you from becoming your authentic self.With this powerful tool, Cron shows us how each type can shed their broken stories and harness their unique power within to become who we are truly meant to be, shedding the unhappiness we accumulate by trying to live out of the wrong story. Filled with examples from people whose lives have been transformed for the better, Cron maps out a guide for using Enneagram wisdom to reauthor your life and experience deep inner transformation, healing, and happiness.Rewrite the story of you and find the freedom in becoming your true self!

In this surprisingly funny and forgiving memoir, Ian reminds us that no matter how different the pieces may be, in the end we are all cut from the same cloth, stitched by faith into an exquisite quilt of grace.
