This workbook was created to give individuals the opportunity to obtain the same information, education, and self help provided through attending expensive professional counseling or education seminars. This book gives you the ability to learn the truth about alcoholism and then decide if you have a substance abuse problem. We accomplish this by focusing your understanding and knowledge that you will gain from this book to sharpen your skills to work towards an alcohol free lifestyle, through your choice. I have personally never been evaluated, arrested, or attended any type of alcohol rehab program, so all my opinions are formed strictly from formal education, issues with family and friends and my work in the field with other people. I have worked as an addictions counselor in the private, military and criminal sectors. I have a formal education, combined with hands on experience with friends, family and patients. During this book I will address the problems within the counseling community, legal system and inconsistency with the evaluation and testing process. I have provided many of these books to all types of adults, schools, children, and even inmates. Through the information in this book they have received the information they need to avoid or work through a substance abuse problem at an early stage, thus avoiding many negative life problems. The materials in this book have been tested and used on active duty Air Force personnel, their family members, state prison inmates with both alcohol and drug diagnosis, and the private counseling community. I have received many letters and e-mails from individuals who have explained to me, how the material that I have now combined for you in this book has turned their lives around. Now that I have combined all the material that I feel has done the best work for people on an individual basis, I hope that this book will be understood in a very simple format. I hope it will positively influence each of you and your loved ones to better cope with an alcohol issue that may or may not be an identified problem in your life, at this time.
