Produktbeschreibung

The Alcohol Recovery Ally: Supportive Tools for the Sobriety Journey Sobriety is more than just quitting alcohol-it's about building a life of clarity, connection, and lasting freedom. Addiction to alcohol isn't about willpower or character; it's about how the body and brain gradually adapt to a toxic substance. What starts as casual drinking can become something far more consuming, replacing real solutions with temporary escape. But recovery is possible, and the right support can make all the difference. The Alcohol Recovery Ally is a practical, science-backed guide for anyone involved in the recovery journey-whether supporting a loved one, sponsoring someone in sobriety, facilitating a recovery group, or navigating personal change. It provides essential tools, strategies, and prompts designed to foster meaningful conversations and strengthen long-term recovery. Motivational Interviewing prompts throughout the book help individuals explore their relationship with alcohol and develop personalized strategies for change. The approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), offering methods to improve emotional regulation and build effective coping skills. Readers will find guidance on recognizing and responding to relapse triggers, from anxiety and loneliness to work stress and trauma. The book's format is intentionally flexible, allowing individuals to engage with the material in a way that meets their needs, whether through journaling, self-reflection, or discussion. Recovery isn't a one-time decision-it's an ongoing process of commitment and renewal. This book serves as a trusted companion, providing the insight and tools needed to navigate challenges, reinforce motivation, and create a foundation for lasting sobriety. Whether used by a recovery ally or someone working toward sobriety themselves, The Alcohol Recovery Ally is a resource designed to be returned to time and time again. Support matters. The right words matter. Be the ally who makes a difference. Recovery is built on knowledge, strategy, and the ability to make it your own. This book delivers the essential information and practical tools needed to navigate recovery with clarity and confidence. The Recovery Ally Model(TM), The Shadowframe Method(TM), and The Freeze-Frame Strategy(TM) provide innovative approaches for individuals, professionals, and group members to deepen their understanding, strengthen decision-making, and create lasting change. Inside, you'll find: ¿ Essential knowledge that helps prevent setbacks and strengthens long-term recovery ¿ Proven strategies that empower individuals to take control of their own process ¿ A structured approach to managing urges, relapse patterns, and recovery challenges ¿ Tools that complement therapy, support group recovery, and enhance self-guided work ¿ Evidence-based techniques grounded in behavioral science and adult learning theory With the right information and the right tools, recovery becomes a process you can navigate with purpose and confidence.
