- Ups and Downs in Life Course
Addicts and alcoholics are often especially vulnerable to negative influences in their lives. In this course,students learn the characteristics of social and anti-social personalities in order to evaluate objectively and choose those people in their lives who need to be avoided. A course that enables the evaluation of these behavioral, constructive and destructive characteristics, along with the appropriate methods to handling them is a major part of being able to remain stable and off drugs.
- Personal Values and Integrity Course
This course restores to the client his basic sense of right and wrong and the ability to live honestly again. Values and purposes are recovered and strengthened. Students often experience a strong feeling of relief, and a newfound feeling of freedom and self-respect because of this course.
One of the first things addicts and alcoholics sacrifice in getting and using their particular drug is their own sense of personal integrity. The life-style that goes along with addiction is one that almost always involves lying to friends or family, and almost as often involves the commission of illegal acts. After a time, it can seem as if the addict never knew any other way to live. The restoration of personal integrity is not a moral issue, it is a matter of survival. It is a fact that until one can confront and be honest about ones past, a person will be haunted by it. Until these types of misdeeds are dealt with, the addict will continue to be plagued with:
-
Unwillingness to communicate
-
Withdrawal from family and friends
-
Hostility toward those who try to help him or her
-
Feelings of resentment towards authority
-
A sense of being uncomfortable around ethical people
-
Inability to have stable relationships
There is even such a thing as a drug personality. It is artificial, and created by drugs and alcohol. Choosing the wrong friends and acquaintances can become something that is destructive and difficult to handle. Drugs and alcohol apparently change the attitude of a person from his original personality to one secretly harboring hostilities and hatred he/she does not permit to show on the surface. An entire section of the Personal Values and Integrity Course has been developed to handle just this. How to choose and live with the type of people best suited for long-term survival. How to develop and maintain these relationships, nurturing them to produce what truly is needed and wanted by the recovering addict.
