By Delbert Boone

This award-winning (2007 Telly Award) series is the cognitive restructuring tool that addiction treatment programs have been waiting for. Divided into three parts, the series provides thought-provoking group discussion as it forces viewers to take a serious look at their lifestyle, behavior, attitude and what they need to do in the early stages of sobriety.

• Part One: My Behavior Explained - Discusses typical addict behavior and helps viewers take a serious look at where addiction and getting high has taken them and how it has effected their behavior and caused them to react to various situations in their life. Delbert Boone explains how getting high pushes you away from your family and in many cases leads to the criminal element and unhealthy lifestyles. Viewing time: 31 minutes.
  
  
• Part Two: My Attitude, Changing Perspectives - Continues to examine typical addict behavior and how an unhealthy attitude distorts the way you perceive information around you. Then Boone explains the importance of changing the way you do business with the world. He discusses how AA, NA, other 12-Step support groups and sponsors are a great way to help you develop a healthy positive attitude and can provide you with the support you will need to make the necessary changes and adjustments in your life to live a sober lifestyle. Viewing time: 44 minutes.
  
  
• Part Three: Dedicating Yourself to Sobriety - Discusses early sobriety and the importance of letting a sponsor and 12-Step meetings help guide you through the despair, loneliness, guilt, fear and boredom of early sobriety. Boone addresses how getting high has filled their life with unhealthy behaviors and decisions, that they have basically been living their life in a vacuum and now in order to live a life of sobriety they have to work at filling their life with healthy decisions and a healthy lifestyle focused on being around healthy people. He explains how sobriety can be made easier if you learn to follow directions. Viewing time: 49 minutes.
