Rules to Die By
Jordan P. Barnes
What does a life in long-term recovery look like, and how does one make the most of it?
Award-winning author and recovery advocate Jordan P. Barnes reflects on his decade-long journey navigating a life in long-term recovery from all mind and mood-altering substances.
Having distanced himself from a hopeless condition of body, mind, and spirit, Barnes spent the better part of the past ten years navigating the traditional twelve steps and fine-tuned what worked best for him in his personal program of recovery.
What emerged was Rules to Die By, a short listen, 15,000-word manifesto comprised of 12 reflections on the practices Barnes has employed to maintain a life worth living. These constructs and observations are broken down into relatable, digestible chunks designed to offer invaluable insight into one man’s journey from heroin addiction to life in long-term recovery and beyond.
