THE 24-HOUR RECOVERY DEFENSE

The next drink or drug does not have to happen.

Substance use doesn't always begin with picking up the substance. It can begin earlier—with a trigger, a thought, an excuse, a craving, or that moment when your own mind starts making another bad decision sound reasonable.

The 24-Hour Recovery Defense is a practical 16-page digital guide created by Stanley R. Leszewski, Founder of American Substance Abuse Foundation LLC, combining lived recovery experience, straightforward recovery logic, substance-abuse prevention education, and practical tools.

This isn't a complicated textbook. It is designed to be simple enough to understand and practical enough to use.

• Recognize triggers and early warning signs

• Understand the chain from thought to substance use

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This guide is for people struggling with substance use, people in recovery, families, friends, parents, recovery communities, and anyone wanting a clearer understanding of substance-abuse prevention and recovery.

My recovery logic is simple:

If alcohol or drugs are destroying your life, another drink or drug isn't going to repair the destruction.

Identify the problem. Tell yourself the truth. Accept help. Build a defense. Make the next right decision.
