Book Reviews of Overcoming Your Alcohol, Drug & Recovery Habits
Book Review: wading through the anti 12 step
Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking for an alternative to 12 step for my counseling clients and it seems that at least half the book was about what was wrong with 12 step and it was hard to get to the actual treatment. I learned more about 12 step than I really cared to just trying to wade through it to get the alternative. I do agree that 12 step is not for everyone and I know many people who want to drink more if they have to attend aa meetings, partly because that is all they talk about (drinking)
Summary of Overcoming Your Alcohol, Drug & Recovery Habits
Recognizing that 12-step programs rarely help those in them quit booze or other drugs for good, Overcoming Your Alcohol, Drug and Recovery Habits provides techniques to counter the self-defeating beliefs that lead to and foster addictions including addiction to ineffective 12-step groups. It enables those who have gone through Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and formal 12-step addiction treatments to overcome the self-destructive beliefs and attitudes that these programs promote. These include the idea that addicts and alcoholics are powerless, the belief that addiction is an incurable disease, the assertion that people who slip inevitably lose control, and the notion that those who reject the 12-step approach are doomed. Most importantly, this book presents well-supported methods for quitting booze and other drugs for good, for helping individuals recognize and vanquish negative thinking and to help these people regain control of their lives in a truly self-help, do it yourself format. All this and more without wasting decades sitting through useless meetings.Substance Abuse Books
