Addictive Thinking: Facilitators Guide and Group Workbook

In this one-of-a-kind facilitators guide, you will find one of the most unique ways to implement a group within the legal arena.This group includes an individual employed by the legal system, the individuals involved in the legal system, and the recovery coach/peer.When this group dynamic gets vulnerable, and follows the group guidelines, something beautiful happens between the individuals working in the legal system and the individuals involved in the legal system. You begin to see trust being formed. Common ground is found and the legal system is not viewed anymore as “penal punishment”, yet viewed as another agency that can possibly help an individual sustain long-term recovery.This workbook is designed to allow this group dynamic to take place during a 6-week cycle of addictive thinking. During these 6 weeks we will talk about the importance of looking at our addictive thinking and thought patterns. The very thoughts that harm our emotional life and become a reason to continue using drugs/alcohol or acting out in ways that result in negative consequences. The 6-week cycle is intended to help make you aware of what addictive thinking is and develop the awareness, coping skills and tools to overcome addictive thoughts and behavior patterns.With facilitator instructions and worksheets this workbook makes it simple and fun to work within an arena that is unique and beneficial for everyone involved.
