520 |a Exploring the currently popular “recovery memoir” as a contemporary form of confessional spiritual literature, this paper considers how memoirists use their writing as a practice of healing and recovery. For some, the memoir’s narration of spiritual transformation from the ravages of addiction to recovery functions as a story of inner transformation and personal integration in which the primary focus is on the spiritual reforming of the person. A newer category of recovery memoirs seeks to bring about social reforms by fostering changes in societal understandings of addictions and those suffering from them. Together these advance practical theological perspectives on addiction and recovery.
