This guide helps teens understand their substance use and find a way to stop. If you find yourself drinking too much or using drugs to numb emotional pain, you may be experiencing the aftermath of trauma, such as loss, bullying, or abuse. These experiences can lead to guilt and shame, creating a cycle of self-medication. In Your Recovery, Your Life for Teens, addiction expert Claudia Black provides a comprehensive program to explore how your past influences your substance use. With skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, you'll learn to manage difficult feelings, release shame, and prioritize a healthier, fulfilling life.
