week 1

orientation

examining;
past substance abuse histoy
family and friends
purpose in life
motivation
values
inventory of assets and resources

very different from traditional rehab
theory and practice.
here we accentuate the positive and
and examine the qualities and traits
that make us unique and valuable to
family, friends and society.

no negative listing of character defects;
no lists of people we've harmed,
no talk of powerlessness.

it is so refreshing to eliminate the
self-flagellation and reliance on
unknown or unseen forces to deal
with addictive behaviors.
