Personal essays, inspiring anecdotes, and prescriptive reminders show readers how to stop acting out their painful obsessions. Marked by compassion and keen insight, Playing It by Heart explores the author's most intense personal lessons and shows readers that, despite setbacks, recovery is a lifelong opportunity for spiritual growth., In her book Playing It by Heart, Melody Beattie helps readers understand what drives them back into the grasp of controlling behaviour and victimhood - and what it takes to pull themselves out, to return to the healing, faith, and maturity that come with a commitment to recovery.
