About this ebook
""Identity In Recovery"" proposes that lasting freedom from addiction stems from a fundamental shift in self-perception and social roles, not just abstinence. It explores how individuals often adopt an ""identity foreclosure"" centered around substance use, limiting their potential. The book then introduces ""identity reconstruction,"" a process of dismantling this identity and building a new one based on personal values and healthy relationships. By understanding addiction as a complex biopsychosocial issue, the book aims to provide a roadmap for a more meaningful life beyond substance use.
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts like social identity theory and the role of stigma. It then develops the idea of identity reconstruction through personal values and coping mechanisms. Case studies and exercises provide practical applications for rebuilding one's sense of self.
What sets this book apart is its focus on proactively reconstructing identity, offering a framework for transforming the individual's sense of self.
