If you're thinking about quitting alcohol or drugs, this comprehensive workbook can help you get on track and reach you goals.

The Addiction Workbook starts you on your journey by explaining the facts about addiction. It shows you how you can determine if you have a problem and helps you cut through denial or ambivalence to reach a clear decision to quit. Simple, concise exercises and tips help you gather support, deal with detoxification, improve nutrition, and build a personalized exercise program. You will discover how to relax without chemicals and cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger.

The book's final chapters cover conducting a personal moral inventory and making lifestyle changes to foster long-term relapse prevention.

Direct and easy to understand, for those who want to do something about their use or misuse of alcohol and other drugs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turning away from alcohol and/or drugs, August 25, 2005
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.

This review is from: The Addiction Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide for Quitting Alcohol and Drugs (New Harbinger Workbooks) (Paperback)
This book has the basis information a person needs to quit their addiction. Is the same basic principles that rehabilitation programs used. Except that in the rehab you have a team a people that help you and the AA/NA meetings are all day.
