A Woman's Addiction Workbook: Your Guide to In-Depth Recovery

It is inspiring and beautifully written. I now have 6 months clean time because I read it every day.

Without this book, I would still be using drugs. This is one of the few books I've read that allowed me to really look at issues of gender in recovery. I did all of the exercises, and each one brought new insights and knowledge. Every once in a while I go back to them. Thank you, Dr. Najavits!

My therapist first introduced this book to me, and I am so grateful!! It isn't just reading material, it has step-by-step instructions and exercises to follow. This book won't take the place of a therapist or counselor, but it can definitely be a BIG help when used at home. If you are serious about getting past your addiction(s), you should look into buying this book. It has truly, truly helped me!

This is an incredible book--from the first page, I felt like I had found a kind, smart, loving friend who was there to help me with my problem. Whatever you need to know to help understand your addiction and begin to work through it, this book offers it. It has exercises, stories, facts, and lots of comfort and encouragement. What I like best is that it doesn't preach--you can skip around, read whatever you need at the time...I didn't feel like I was being judged. Thank you....

I think this is one of the best approaches I've seen for women with substance abuse problems. I've been there, and know that a lot of traditional treatment doesn't work for women. I especially liked the focus on emotional disorders, the gentle style, and the background about how women's addiction is different from men's.
