By Dr. PAUL A HARDY

Book Overview

The SURVIVAL MANUAL: Tools to Manage ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS gives a practical approach to handling both substance and process addictions. This is a hands-on workbook with practical examples and many open-ended questions.

The purpose of this book is to help you manage any substance or behavioral addiction. You will find tested and proven methods to help you or your loved one work through the changes needed to transform an addiction, behavior, or process. This book can be used for your own personal development or to lead small groups.

Each chapter includes:

THE AFFIRMATION OF THE WEEK. Each of the ten chapters has an affirmation with a quote to keep before you the whole week for review. These are positive statements and are a departure from any negative approaches to recovery.

GOD'S PEN TO PAPER. This section presents a Scripture that reinforces some portion of God's perspective about the topic. It is the spiritual focus of the topic.

DEFINING ADDICTION. Defines, and sometimes gives a controversial explanation of differing views about working with addictions.

REALITY CHECK. Shares a composite (it may be several different stories rolled into one) account of a story with names and details changed but still reflects the true struggles and victories of this approach.

CHAPTER CHART. The contrast chart ties the chapter together with two opposing lists between darkness and light.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. It can be used for small groups or as openers for presentations. Each has numerous open-ended questions for self-reflection or small group discovery.
