Your Recovery, Your Life for Teens: A Trauma-Informed Workbook to Help You Heal from Substance Use and Addiction

Many teens use substances to cope with pain from an underlying trauma—such as loss of a loved one, bullying, sexual assault, or abuse. The pain inflicted by trauma can have devastating effects. These feelings only reinforce substance use, tossing you into a vicious cycle. But there is a way out; a way to better understand and address the reasons why you use, so you can begin your journey toward recovery.

In Your Recovery, Your Life for Teens, addiction specialist Claudia Black presents a comprehensive program for exploring how your life experiences have influenced your substance use and addresses the problem through guided self-reflection. You'll be equipped with a variety of skills from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and grief work, so you can gain the upper hand in your battle with substances. You'll also discover tools to help you tolerate difficult feelings, release shame, regulate emotions, and come to terms with the fact that your use is interfering with your life. Most importantly, you learn how to forgive yourself and set priorities for a fulfilling life—without drugs and alcohol.

The road to recovery can feel long and difficult; it demands extraordinary dedication and effort. It requires a lot of help, and help is out there. With this compassionate guide, you can begin your journey.
