The authors strike a perfect balance between empathy and expertise, ensuring readers feel supported without being overwhelmed.Whether you're a professional working with clients in recovery or someone seeking tools for personal growth, this workbook is a valuable resource. Highly recommended!

I bought this for a friend who just started the recovery process. He goes to meetings, therapy and church but he said when he's home, he struggles. So I got him this book. He's had it about 3 weeks now and said it's just what he needed. He said it's a simple, easy workbook but it makes him think. I'm happy to be of help. I'm hoping they have like step 2 book or a more advanced one.

Useful in IOP groups

As a psychologist I have used this with multiple clients to help them gain insight into their recovery. I plan to continue to use this, and recommend it to clients. I like that it’s based on psychological theory and studies. It’s informative and also helps the client gain insight through the questions.

Pretty much ideas for beginners

The media could not be loaded. I haven’t dived into this book (yet) I working in another workbook at the moment however looking through it really seems promising that it will help me to overcome my addiction and help me with recovery. It’s a therapist recommended book and I myself highly recommend. It’s an easy workbook that helps you learn the basics of addiction and gives you exercises to do that help you gain a better outlook on addiction whether be your own or that of a loved one. Definitely worth the buy…

I have been in active recovery for almost 3 yrs. This is a great workbook for anyone to pair a long with the right treatment and therapy. Great insight and helpful to reassure the individual it's ok to be a recovering addict.

Was the correct book for my class.
