I. Introduction
Young people trying to get clean and sober often ask certain questions about life without alcohol and other drugs. The questions they ask most often are:
– What will I do?
– Who will I spend time with?
– How will I get through college or the military without drinking?
– How will I handle special occasions like my 21st? Graduation? My wedding reception?
– Why are drugs so hard to quit?
This workbook tries to help you answer some of these questions. As you go through the workbook, try to be as honest with yourself as you can. No matter how you answer the questions, stay clean and sober.
