Recovery takes on new meaning in Dr. Michael Picucci’s The Journey Toward Complete Recovery. He expands our hearts and opens our minds to the wonders, the growth and the tremendous rewards of a holistic, ongoing approach in recovering the lost parts of our Self. Anyone touched by the dis-ease of addictions or “blocked energy,” will be awakened and transformed by this work, as I have. He gives both promise and hope.
