It does not have to cost thousands of dollars and years of therapy to change your life! This workbook is empowering for both the person who struggles with an addiction and those who try to help.

This is not an AA, 12-step approach. AA is a great support network and has helped many, but not everyone is the same. We all have individual thoughts, dreams and goals with diferent ways of getting to them.

I feel that eliminating options to “recovery” by saying only AA can work, discourages many and can often be detrimental for those who disagree with the main stream disease model approach.

There is hope! There are many who have found the secret to ridding themselves of their addiction forever.

You do not have to be miserable, attend meetings for the rest of your life, or flounder around with an endless struggle against addiction! You already have the answer and ability to change. All that is needed is a willingness and desire for change!

My purpose in creating the workbook is to share my views, oppinions and experience in what I have learned in the process with the hope that it will encourage others to do the same.

I am not a medical doctor, researcher or scholar, but rather just someone who wanted more. Success in recovery is extremely possible! The ability to “recover” is already within us and this reality should not be forgotten. Keep believing!
