The Self-Management Recovery Workbook

Paperback edition. Recovery is a skill — and skills can be practiced. This hands-on workbook uses the SMART Recovery self-management approach to help you take charge of your sobriety one exercise at a time. Work through cost-benefit analyses of using vs. staying sober, urge-surfing drills, lifestyle balance planners, and tools for handling cravings, triggers, and tough emotions. Every chapter ends with write-in exercises so you're building your recovery, not just reading about it. By Steven Lavoie. Includes a medical disclaimer, withdrawal safety information, and crisis resources including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
