eRecovery Project Resources

"As of recent, in early 2021 I relocated to Charlotte, NC from South Florida to continue my career and recovery. The inspiration for this site was born with a wise friend in my current Sangha in Charlotte. My wise friend suggested to potentially create a library or database of books that I had read to help others. After giving the suggestion some thought over several months, I decided to take the idea a bit bigger. This website incorporates my experiences in recovery with AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma and Al-Anon/Atateen."  "Know I can't do this alone" - I welcome contributors to recommend reference material for this site that will be reviewed and then published if topic appropriate. Please feel free to contact us to participate and become a contributor or even an administrator of Recovery Project Resources.

Who is Scott Himmelrich . . .

He's a native Floridian from Fort Lauderdale and was raised in Nassau, Bahamas and lived there for almost ten years. While living in the Bahamas he quickly became a boating and fishing enthusiast and to this day fish off the Lauderdale Coast and in the Florida Keys as much as his schedule permits. He moved to New York City at age eighteen to begin his career in information technology and became one of the first certified network engineers for Novell. While in NYC he worked with many prominent firms and continues a successful career path which eventually put him in the project management office world of project management and business analystics. His free time in NYC was spent nurturing his passion for music. His passion became so great that he started production work in the pop, house, and new age genres. There were several opportunities to turn his passion for music into a full-time job however, he liked the salaries his IT work provided, so he continues music as a hobby to this day. You can learn more about Scott at www.scotthimmelrich.com and read his published article about his encounter with the "911 Event" a block away from the first falling tower.

About his recovery...

Scott has been in recovery for over seven years.

He was encouraged by his therapist to join the Alcoholics Anonymous program ,know as AA, through his first attempt to become sober in the Spring of 2010. “I remember being told to take life one day at a time”, which was his first remembrance that stuck in his mind.

Several years later as his disease progressed, he reentered the rooms of AA again, which is a twelve-step program, with a more serious attitude towards recovery. Over the last seven plus years he’s come to better understand his dichotomy in believing in a higher power and understanding his path in sobriety taking on an alternative approach to recovery.

Scott now attends many fellowships including the a twelve-step program, cognitive behavior program and an inspired Buddhist program.

During his journey he’s seen how a hybrid model of recovery may help others. The materials in this website will have some twelve-step program material references, as well as additional information that is not approved by certain fellowships.
