JUST SAY KNOW by Dr. Sheila Blume; psychiatrist, addiction specialist
Is a wonderful program that has 3 components:
First : It helps you to valuate your own drinking and/or use of mood-changing chemicals:
You chart your own chemical use; Identify high risk patterns and circumstances; Spot the beginnings of a problem; Take steps to avoid chemical dependency
Second
Learning to relax without the use of chemicals:
Control of stress through relaxation; Chart your own patterns of tension; Using a relaxation tape, with or without biofeedback; Integrating relaxation into your daily life
Third
If you have a chemical dependency problem and are receiving help, learning to relax as an adjunct to recovery: Relaxation as an aid in recovery; Charting your patterns of tension; Using a relaxation tape, with or without biofeedback; Relaxing with thoughts helpful in early recovery:
Relaxing with thoughts helpful in continuing recovery
Just Say Know, you are already concerned about:
Preventing chemical dependency; if possible
Recognizing and correcting unhealthful patterns of alcohol/drug use
Identifying a chemical dependency if one exists and the program will address these concerns and do more. It will offer you instruction in relaxation, either with relaxation tapes alone or with tapes plus biofeedback. It will help you integrate regular relaxation into your normal pattern of activities, instead of using alcohol or other chemicals. Furthermore, if you find that you do have a problem with chemical dependency and enter treatment, this program will help you learn to relax as an adjunct to you program of recovery.
