The
well-known and highly respected pioneer and author in the
field of recovery for children of alcoholics Janet Woititz
once said,
"People lack an adequate data base for dealing with their
substance abuse issues." This truth applies to people
dealing with substance abuse on multiple levels. Sometimes
even professionals working in the field need to update their
data base of tools to foster understanding and change.
Without doing so, they may be rendered less effective than
they could be. Civic or educational organization may lack
information about substance abuse, also.
Substance Abuse and dependence are holistic in nature, affecting all areas of a person's life as well as those who are emotionally attached to them. Avoiding relapse is largely dependent on people learning and developing healthy life skills for coping with stress and emotions.
"Your presentation on Friday night was the best and most effective I have seen over the course of my 10 year alliance experience. I always dread even thinking of getting people to come to a drug/alcohol speaker event. The success of the evening goes to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you."- Frelinghuysen Township Municipal Alliance Chairperson.
