Recovery by Choice:
Living and Enjoying Life Free of Alcohol and Drugs. A Workbook.
By Martin NicolausRecovery by Choice is a tool for those who want to build their personal recovery program in a structured, systematic manner. In its 300 pages, you will find dozens of worksheets and exercises that address major issues facing most people in recovery. See Table of Contents.
The book does not contain a prescribed recovery program, other than the 'prime directive': Don't Drink Or Use No Matter What. Its purpose, rather, is to assist you in devising a recovery path tailor-made for your particular background, personality, and environment. The book is suitable for self-study (bibliotherapy) or for working in groups. Its open-ended approach is compatible with a wide range of abstinence-based treatment methods. The book is direct, concrete, empathetic, and respectful of the basic truth that each person must find their own way.
