Relapse Prevention Guide Booklets

We have collected thoughts on many recovery topics into resources for personal reflection and group discussion guides.  We have booklets on several themes as well as individual topics which fit the material on two sides a sheet of paper. Those "one topic sheets" can be found here.  Click on the links below to find printable copies of the booklets.  Everything is downloadable free of charge.  The "e-book" link will give you the content in a form that can easily be read on a phone or tablet.  The "booklet" option will print the pages in the page order needed so you can fold them into a booklet.  

Just a reminder, the sheets that address specific steps in the 12 Step Program that are stored elsewhere on this website can also be found here.  The group study guides which are a collection of those sheets can be found here.
