About the Book

Welcome to the Way.

Rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, The Way Within Without offers a gentle, poetic path through recovery.

Each of the 81 chapters includes:

  • Poetic verse

  • Grounded commentary

  • Thought-provoking reflection questions

  • A simple daily affirmation

This is not a 12-step book. This is not a religious guide.

This is a quiet companion for those seeking peace in recovery—especially from alcohol—and longing for a softer way forward.
