Said about the self-help manual

Tuesday, April 8, 2014

These are some things that people have told me about how the self-help manual has helped them:

Working on the questions in the material has strengthened me and gave me the courage to bring up sensitive topics.
The exercises in this manual have made me understand some things about my own behavior, and about my relative who is a substance addict. It has made me think differently.
The self-help manual helped me to let go of some of my control and as a result my relationship to my husband is much better.
The manual is comforting and something that I can go back to and read whenever I want.
The practices that I have done during the time I was working with the self-help manual had made me dare to say “no more” and start focusing on my own needs.
The self-help manual feels like a trusted friend that I can come back to if I need to.
I got a new picture of what I can change and what is my responsibility, and what isn’t. It has also changed the way I communicate with my relative with alcohol problems.
Now I feel stronger and I’m able to speak up more without getting a bad conscience afterwards.
