The Sober Philosopher Workbook for Exploring Addiction and Creating Recovery - Paperback

Many of us find ourselves living in ways making the question "Do I have a problem with alcohol or other drugs," unavoidable. No one can answer this question for another; each of us must answer for our own self. The questions in this workbook will invite new insights, which may challenge our own certain or even dogmatic views of ourselves. If we believe ourselves to be broken beyond repair or unsalvageable, we remain trapped and unwilling to try anything different. Loosening the grip of that certainty may make us willing to embrace new possibilities about how we can live. There are multiple paths out of addiction; there is no one right way. Recovery requires self-knowledge and willingness. Recovery is a deeply creative process, where each of us has the opportunity--as unwanted as it is--to transform ourselves and our lives.
