Synopsis
Author William Fleeman believes chemically dependent people use drugs to transform painful feelings like anxiety, fear, and depression into pleasurable feelings like confidence, courage, and elation. This book helps readers unlearn this destructive pattern through a cognitive/behavioral approach. Chapters cover self-assessment, steps of recovery, what to avoid, methods and skills, anger and forgiveness, relapse prevention, and more. Includes 18 self-help lessons, which can be completed in 18 to 20 weeks or less.
