About the Book The first task for therapists in the recovery process is to help their clients survive, and for this end, the Surviving Addiction Workbook is an extremely valuable aid. But the second task - immediately - is to proceed with a carefully plotted recovery plan. Surviving Addiction Workbook does this as it challenges clients to intensively examine their lives in terms of physiological, psychological, social, financial, cultural, family and spiritual factors. This workbook is valuable because it works. It helps address many practical concerns. The activities in this workbook, a supplement to the Relapse Prevention Workbook by Dr. Daley, instills not only hope that continued abstinence is possible, it offers guidelines on specifics to follow to remain in recovery - and most importantly, achieving a more satisfying and healthy life. Every substance abuse counselor will value having his workbook available for clients.
