      The Essential Addiction Recovery Companion - Richard A. Singer, Jr.

      How to Use This Guidebook

      All the strategies and related questions compiled in this guidebook for recovery have been used and tested throughout years of successful recovery, relapse, and getting back into recovery again after three torturous years of addictive hell. Many of them have scientific evidence supporting them and have also been used by many of my patients in therapy over a twenty-year period. They are effective and I am positive that they will help you to create a new life, continue your recovery or help another human being transform their life. They simply just need to be applied with sincerity, persistence, willingness and an open mind.

      How you use this book and the information within it is your choice. Perhaps perusing through it to read all the pages would be useful in the beginning and then maybe you can work on a page a day to work on growth in recovery. Or you may pick your favorites and start completing them immediately. Another way is to leave it up to chance, flip through the book and randomly stop when you feel it’s right. If you are helping others, you may find it useful to assign a specific page you believe would help the most. Again, it is all your personal choice. I just hope that you will find this book helpful in some way. If it helps one human being suffering from addiction, then I’ve done my job.

      Finally, no matter how you choose to use the book, please enjoy it and remain hopeful that there is a new life out there to be lived by you. One day at a time you will continue to grow and eventually pass it on to other human beings suffering the torment of their addictive illness.

      I would love to talk to you about any comments, suggestions, or simply to have a conversation about life. I am always here so please reach out to me via my personal email - RSinger9999@gmail.com. Please visit www.RickSinger.org for up to date information.

      Never, Never, Never give up on recovery!
