Turning away from alcohol and/or drugs,
By
This review is from: The Addiction Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide for Quitting Alcohol and Drugs (New Harbinger Workbooks) (Paperback)
The workbook allows one to view his/her compulsion to drink and/or use drugs from multiple perspectives, to better realize the consequences and to make a reasoned choice about whether or not to embrace sobriety. It then gently guides one into early recovery, giving tips and support for making important changes in life so as not to return to alcohol and/or drugs. Fanning writes in short, clear sentences so that the book is very easy to understand, and shows great compassion for those who are burdened by the terrible compulsion that is addiction.
