Uncover Satan Recover Thyself: A Rational Satanic recovery

Personally I found online or offline AA groups or sobriety groups to feel really wrong for me because of my religion and aversion to Christianity. This book hits a lot of marks for me as far as wanting something that is focused on self reliance and trust as well as insights on the medical side of addiction and the social structures that pressure us to consume substances, as well as touching on what progress means and how to not fall into old patterns. If you've ever considered sobriety or are struggling with your sobriety and don't want the big G shoved down your throat, check this book out. It's not all YEAH666SATAN666SATAN btw, I believe non-satanists could also take away a lot from this book.

Great book great insight and great perspective. If you are struggling with the idea of recovery but know you need to do something different this is a good resource. As a person who has had a great deal of wxpierence with 12 step recovery, successfully. As someone who became bored and unhappy with the fellowship and the politics in 12 step recovery. This book has given me a new and fresh perspective to recovery that has made in interesting again.

As an addict,this has help me greatly.i respect and value the big book it has been a big part of my recovery but if we are honest there are faults this book has some of the answers to fix what is wrong.if you want tools for your recovery here they are.thank you

While I’ve only had the chance to breeze through it so far, it’s a book for self improvement next year, I wanted to see what I signed up for and it looks very good. Like any 12 step or occult books there’ll be parts that you don’t agree with and that’s ok!

There are perhaps not many of us, but this book tells my story. This book reminds me that I belong with my 12 steps and not with some Christian version. PERFECT!!!!!

Very good insight

Great book on incorporating Satanism into recovery

This book is for hardcore Church of Satan (LeVay) devotees, not modern The Satanic Temple (TST) member. The book has endless numerology and mentions texts by LeVay the author assumes the reader familiar with. Just a fair warning. I am becoming sober from alcohol and also a budding Satanist and thought this book could help me, as I am very secular and no longer a believer, but unfortunately this book is filled with a bunch nonsense that made the reading cumbersome and unenjoyable. If you are a Church of Satan member to will work for you.

I have to start this review by saying I am not an alcoholic, but a lot of my family are, and I know I have 'addictive' tendencies. Being a Satanist, I was hoping that this book would give me some insight into addiction and recovery as a way to spot the warning signs and stop them early (and understand what members of my family have been through) whilst using the Satanic philosophy, but have been absolutely blown away by it. The amount of sheer care and attention to detail that has gone into this book is obvious from the first page to the last, and Ben's personal insight and experiences are so honest and open. He offers really practical solutions and ideas; this book cannot fail to inspire you, not only in recovery but in living a more fulfilling life beyond the limits of addiction. It is totally non judgemental and full of ideas to pursue beyond his book, and he explains the Satanic system and how it complements the path to recovery (and beyond) in new ways that inspire you to want to learn more. I can't believe how much I have got out of this book (way beyond what I was hoping to) and it will definitely be something I keep coming back to over and over, it is more than worth the money by a long shot!

There's good intent here, but this is a classic example of a self-published author in desperate need of a proper editor. In between moments of insight, there is just a ton of fluff that doesn't advance the recovery steps or autobiographical narrative in any way. Lots of telling you what he's going to tell you, instead of just telling you. Totally lost threads that are broached and never addressed. Absolutely bizarre footnote system, that, despite what the author claims, is not at all typical British footnote style. Any goodwill I had towards the book was thrown out in the misguided reference section at the end, where the author promotes a known neo-N*zi as a historian (when actual historians have widely debunked said N*zi's made up white-centred 'folk' histories), and promotes Ayn Rand as being an important thinker worth reading, while admitting he has not read any Ayn Rand. I have – regrettably – read Ayn Rand; her work isn't valuable and she's not an important thinker. She's a mean-spirited hypocrite whose books empower truly the worst people on university campuses everywhere. Honestly, this book is a real highs-and-lows example of Satanism. Some interesting ideas and insightful criticisms of religious dogma and society, almost inevitably ruined by the people and politics that seem to surround every branch, offshoot and variation.

Excellent on many levels, a great help for those of us dealing with addiction.
