Description

This is a task-oriented guide for developing a personalized relapse prevention plan that can be completed while enrolled in residential treatment, outpatient treatment for addiction, or as an independent study and is designed to: unravel the mystery of the relapse process so that any person recovering from an addictive illness can "see the relapse coming"; provide the steps newcomers and old timers alike can take to increase their insurance against relapse; serve as a source of hope to those who have come to fear that sobriety is beyond their reach; aid the reader in gaining insights into coping strategies currently being used that serve only to undermine their recovery efforts and cheat them out of the joy of sober living.
