About the Book
Relief Is Coming: Reflections from the Desert of Addiction is an honest recovery workbook for people who are hurting, newly sober, trying again, or standing at the edge of change. Written from lived experience, it offers reflection, spiritual direction, and practical hope for the person who needs to hear from someone who has been there and found a way out.
This book is for people who are tired, hurting, newly sober, trying again, or wondering if real change is still possible. It can also be useful for sponsors, peer support workers, sober living homes, treatment centers, recovery groups, churches, families, and people walking beside someone in addiction or early recovery.
It is primarily a recovery reflection workbook. It includes honest readings, spiritual direction, practical recovery questions, and space for written reflection. Some readers may use it like a journal, and some may experience parts of it devotionally, but its main purpose is to help the reader slow down, tell the truth, and take the next right step.
The book is written from lived experience in addiction, recovery, service, and spiritual change by Trey E. His work is rooted in the belief that no one is too far gone, no beginning is too broken, and relief can come when we become willing to take the next honest step.
How to Use It
Read slowly. Answer honestly. Do not try to make your answers sound better than they are. The goal is not to perform recovery. The goal is to tell the truth, stay willing, and take the next right step.
No. This book is not meant to be rushed. Some pages may take a few minutes. Some may need to sit with the reader for a while. The point is not speed. The point is honesty, willingness, reflection, and action.
Yes. Many pages can be useful for conversations with a sponsor, peer support worker, recovery coach, mentor, counselor, or trusted recovery person. The book should support honest conversation, not replace the relationships and accountability that recovery often requires.
Families may use it to better understand the emotional and spiritual tone of early recovery, but the workbook is written primarily for the person struggling with addiction or beginning recovery. Family members should avoid using the book as a tool to pressure, control, or force someone into change. However, the 12 Steps are useful for anyone. So families may choose to work the book together.
Recovery Tools
The workbook connects readers to simple online tools for Step 4, Step 6, Step 8, and related recovery reflection work.
The QR tools are online worksheet pages connected to the workbook. They are designed to be simple, mobile-friendly, and easy to use when someone is doing written recovery work.
The tools can be opened directly online, but they are meant to support the work inside Relief Is Coming. The book provides the broader reflections, questions, and direction. The online tools give readers a practical place to continue the work.
Readers should treat anything they write online with care. Use a private device when possible. Be careful on shared or public computers. Do not write anything into an online worksheet that you would not want someone else to see on that device. If a worksheet includes save, print, download, or clear options, use them carefully.
Orders & Formats
The book is planned for paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. Paperback is the main workbook format because it is easiest to write in and use day by day. Hardcover is a premium option for gifts, offices, program libraries, and long-term use. Kindle is for digital reading and reflection.
Individual readers should usually use Amazon once the listings are live. Amazon is typically the simplest option for one-copy purchases, shipping, returns, and Kindle reading. Direct orders are better for groups, signed copies, special requests, treatment centers, sober living homes, and bulk purchases.
Bulk orders are handled through the direct order page or by contacting Serenity Media LLC. Orders of 10 or more copies receive 18% off. Shipping, taxes, format mix, timing, and any special handling may need to be confirmed before fulfillment.

Treatment Centers & Programs

Yes, the book may be used as a supplemental reflection tool in treatment, sober living, alumni support, peer support, or recovery-focused settings. It should not be presented as clinical curriculum, medical advice, therapy, detox support, or a replacement for professional care.
Programs may use it as a client welcome item, a personal reflection workbook, a discharge or alumni support resource, a peer-support tool, or a group discussion starter. It is flexible and should be used alongside existing clinical, peer, spiritual, or recovery support structures.
