Self-Preservation: An Engaging Substance Abuse and DUI/DWI Life Skills Program/Workbook for Developing a More Self-Reliant, Self-Empowered, and Self-Regulating Lifestyle

By Michael E. Esser

This is an education/life skills program that anyone could benefit from. It was originally written for those dealing with addiction/substance abuse and/or have been charged with a DUI/DWI or illegal drug related crime, but it's systems and processes could benefit any type of addiction one may be experiencing. "Self-Preservation" sets itself apart from the other programs that simply provide the same basic information with hopes it alone will lead to growth. Instead, we incorporate that evidence-based information weaved in with our own consistent, easy-to-follow process for truly engaging the individual as a whole-person. Our philosophy is that we all exist in a state of survival and do what we think we need to do based on the beliefs we've adapted over time. We work to correct this by becoming more self-aware and educated so that we can move forward making better decisions for our lives, families, and communities. "Self-Preservation" has 18 complete sessions of weekly self-assessments, comprehensive substance/life skills education, a group process rundown, pre-post tests, regular session reviews, relapse prevention planning, maintenance planning, life skills lessons, and an exit interview process to be both thorough for the individual and comply with any possible court requirements.
