Soberu: a Program of Growth and Ongoing Developmental Recovery Robert B. Garshelis

SoberU offers a user friendly guide to the 12 Steps. It provides both professional and lay readers with a variety of clearly defined tools and strategies to help someone recover from addiction. Designed as a twelve month "time release" recovery program in a residential treatment center setting, SoberU is now available as a resource guide and simple plan for all persons interested in sustaining abstinence from alcohol and drugs. What professionals in the field and clients have to say about SoberU.... "SoberU is very useful and user friendly. Each step is broken down into small components and it allows the reader some time to consider what they have read and how it applies to their life." - Janet R. Kuhn, LCSW, Clinical Supervisor "I've been to the most expensive treatment centers in this country, but SoberU made more sense to me than all of them combined." - Melanie W.

This book combines the original teachings of A. A. and N. A. with congruent counseling theories. It will be most helpful for those counselors that have a recovery background, those that do not and for the novice or experienced client." - Cherie L. Gooding, LMHC, CAP, Therapist and CEO "I just do what SoberU teaches me to do and I stay clean and continue to grow and change." - Chad L.

The use of functional definitions helps a great deal in taking the mystery out of addiction." - Lawrence R. Schitea, LMFT, Marriage and Family Therapist "Not only has SoberU opened my eyes to my program, but it could help a lot of people I know do the same thing." - Linda Y. "The books offers a simple, easy to follow means of better understanding the Twelve Steps. I appreciate the
