Addiction: A Path to Recovery for You and Your Family
A programme for those facing addiction — their own or a loved one's. You will study how addiction forms and why willpower is not the main tool here. Dedicated blocks cover types of addiction (alcohol, drugs, gambling, betting, nicotine, food, internet and gaming), stages of formation and signs, denial and how to overcome it, motivation for change, medical help and detox, rehabilitation and programmes, psychotherapy and support groups, relapses and how to work with them, codependency and boundaries for relatives, how to talk to an addicted person without a row, financial and legal consequences, and life in recovery: new habits, environment, meaning. By the end you assemble a personal recovery plan and a list of resources.
