This workbook was written and carefully constructed to help persons with substance use disorders begin to have successful lives. It will also help the substance users loved ones and mainstream society understand how to have a healthier non-judgmental approach to helping persons with substance use disorders. We may theorize that there must be some moral deficit in many who use substance's as we did in the 1970's. This has created an atmosphere of judgement and toxic shame making it more difficult for the substance user to achieve recovery.
