This workbook is an excellent tool to help people recovery and manage their emotions.” –Roger D. Weiss, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; Clinical Director, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Program, McLean Hospital “This workbook has been pivotal for many of our clients who have managed to stay clean and sober, only to find themselves overwhelmed with life. It is down to earth and practical, helping clients to recognize and manage emotions. Clients become hopeful as they develop these skills, realizing they are not simply victims of their emotions, but in charge of their emotional lives.” –Sharon Eakes, former Vice President of Treatment, Gateway Rehabilitation Center “This workbook helped me a lot by making me realize how powerful emotions are, and how important it is to manage these in recovery. I learned some practical tools that were especially helpful in dealing with my anxiety and ‘stuffed’ anger.” –Cindy, age 42, alcoholic “This workbook on feelings helped me find new ways to face my problem with boredom and loneliness, which I used as excuses to get high.” –Tyrone, age 38
