Im going through this book and have found it to be very very good. Id have to say that I think think not every method suits every stage in the recovery process. For example, at the beginning of my "crisis" my nerves were so frazzled and there were so many thoughts going through my head that relaxation and exercise were the only things that I could take on board. Apart from that, the real lifesaver was Claire Weekes, who made me understand that I was not alone, that I wasnt crazy and that recovery was very much a reality. Later, CBT methods began to work. And now Im in a position where I can make some progress on the personal development.
