Managing Your Substance Use Disorder: Client Workbook is an
interactive recovery guide that engages readers who have a
substance use disorder in an active process of learning strategies
to manage the daily challenges of sobriety and recovery and to
reduce the risk of lapse and relapse. Designed to accompany
Managing Substance Use Disorder: Practitioner Guide, this Workbook
provides detailed information about substances of use,
reader-friendly checklists, and engaging activities in order to
personalize the reader's recovery plan. The book then reviews
current trends in substance use and disorders, causes and effects
of these disorders, substance related disorders, treatment
approaches (medications and psychosocial), mutual support programs,
and the impact of substance use on the family and concerned
significant others, and integrates the best
scientifically-supported interventions with the authors' extensive
experiences as scientist-clinicians. This Workbook addresses the
most common challenges faced by individuals with substance use
disorders, such as managing cravings, resisting social pressures to
use, coping with negative emotions and moods, building a social
support network, involving family or concerned significant others,
and reducing lapse and relapse risk.
A House on Stilts tells the story of one woman's struggle to
reclaim wholeness while mothering a son addicted to opioids. Paula
Becker's son Hunter was raised in a safe, nurturing home by his
writer/historian mom and his physician father. He was a bright,
curious child. And yet, addiction found him. More than 2.5 million
Americans are addicted to opioids, some half-million of these to
heroin. For many of them, their drug addiction leads to lives of
demoralization, homelessness, and constant peril. For parents, a
child's addiction upends family life, catapulting them onto a path
no longer prescribed by Dr. Spock, but by Dante's Inferno. Within
this ten-year crucible, Paula is transformed by an excruciating,
inescapable truth: the difference between what she can do and what
she cannot do.

Brian Pennie shouldn't be alive today. His drug addiction was so
bad that he was deemed too much of a risk for detox. Determined to
confront his demons, he went cold turkey at home. Discovered in a
pool of blood, it didn't exactly go to plan, but that's where his
life truly began. On 8 October 2013, he was finally clean after 15
years of chronic heroin addiction, and something extraordinary
happened: the world suddenly became beautiful. Free of the anxiety
and fear that had always plagued him, Brian was given a second
chance at life, and he devoured every minute of it. Bit by bit he
rebuilt his world and began to share what he learned with others.
In this incredibly honest and inspirational book, Brian shares the
story of how he turned a seemingly hopeless existence into a rich
and rewarding life, showing that change is always possible, no
matter how stuck we feel. 'The first book in 5 years I haven't been
able to put down' - Jennifer Zamparelli, 2FM. 'It's a hopeful tale'
- Oliver Callan, The Ryan Tubridy Show, RTE Radio 1. 'We really
enjoyed the book, Brian is a tremendous writer. It's going to be a
really important book for a lot of people.' - Dermot and Dave,
Today FM 'Brian's book provides hope that lives can be turned
around.' - The Mail on Sunday 'Brian Pennie's memoir tells the
story of addiction, recovery and redemption' - Patrick Freyne, The
Irish Times
