SAMPLE THE WORKBOOK

WHAT YOU'LL NEED & HOW IT WORKS

Choose a meeting Host/Facilitator and a commons area with a TV
Distribute the Workbook to all meeting participants
Rent or buy films from Amazon Video / iTunes / Google to play on a streaming device or Smart TV
Screen the films about addiction & recovery in group, or have clients watch them on their own time to discuss later in-person, or online (via Zoom, etc.)
Using the Workbook's questionnaires, discuss what the story and themes of the film can teach participants about the nature of addiction
Examine how and why the characters in the film succeeded or failed in their recovery
Participants then write out longer answers to the questionnaires as "homework" - and then share those answers with others at subsequent meetings
