Relapse Prevention Individual Guides

“How do we prevent relapse into addictive behaviours and destructive lifestyles and sustain our choice to live in love and grace over the long haul? Strangely, we have to stop focusing on “not picking up" and focus instead on God’s goodness to us, God’s strength in us, and God’s blessings around us.”
We have collected thoughts on many recovery topics into resources for personal reflection and group discussion guides. We have booklets on several relapse prevention themes you can find here, as well as individual topics which fit the material on two sides a sheet of paper that are listed by topic below. You can search by topic by clicking on the links. 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.
