Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

Break the addiction cycle once and for all with this powerful and compassionate workbook—now fully revised and updated!
If you struggle with addiction, know that you are not alone. Addictive behaviors are often the result of loss—the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or even the end of a romantic relationship. If you’re like many others, you may have turned to drugs, alcohol, or other troubling behaviors to avoid the pain of loss. But this only delays the healing process, and can ultimately lead to a destructive cycle that leaves you feeling trapped. So, how can you break free?
This second edition of The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction will help you identify the root of your addictive behaviors while providing healthy coping strategies to deal with the stress, anxiety, and depression that can come from experiencing a loss. With these powerful mindfulness exercises and lifestyle tips, you will be able to replace addictive behaviors with healthy behaviors to begin healing.
This workbook will help you:
Determine the function your addiction is servingDevelop healthy coping skills for dealing with lossAccept your thoughts and emotionsAvoid addiction “triggers”Heal broken relationships and build a support system
No matter the loss, the mindfulness skills in this workbook will allow you to process your grief and replace your addiction with healthy coping behaviors.

Willing to do the work? This book puts the most powerful, effective tools in your grasp.
In the hands of anyone ready to do the work to overcome an addiction, this is a very powerful tool indeed. And I think it also belongs on the shelf – to be used and referenced frequently – of clinicians who work with addicts, teachers of courses on addiction, and the students who are learning to work with the addict population. The authors’ integrative, mindfulness-based approach is a winning complement to 12-Step programs or Rational Recovery.Here are just a few of the virtues of this workbook:1) It guides the reader, in a very personal and engaging manner, through the process of identifying the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that underly and perpetuate her addiction, setting her up for success as this work comes together in a grasp of mindfulness. The first four chapters are like having a wise, kind mentor, sponsor, or therapist to guide you through the early stages, when life can be so confusing.2) It acknowledges head-on that people struggling with addiction have faced, and will continue to need to cope with, loss and the grief that attends it. Part 2, Looking at Your Losses, connects loss with addiction, guiding the reader to identify the cycles and anniversaries that may trigger cravings and lapses.3) It teaches and empowers through metaphor and mnemonics, ensuring that when the addict is vulnerable and stressed, he’ll be able to draw upon the relevant concept or skill with ease. One of my favorites is “Embracing the dog”, which refers to those emotions that we’d rather avoid because they’re uncomfortable or downright nasty. Here’s a sweet metaphor that anyone can relate to, and it sets the reader up for Radical Acceptance.Speaking of which, Marsha Linehan, founder of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) summarized the approach as “radical acceptance coupled with skillful means”. This workbook cultivates the mindset of acceptance and self-efficacy by offering an ample toolkit of coping skills, journaling opportunities, and the kind of “homework” one can actually look forward to.

A workbook for anyone struggling with addictive behaviors
This workbook is an excellent guide for anyone struggling with addictive behaviors or curious about how these behaviors may be having an impact on your life. It answers all your questions, from “What is an addiction?” to “Is it anxiety?” and helps you consider the impact of loss, broken or unhealthy relationships, and mental health issues, among other things. The workbook presents information in an easily digestible way and includes examples, relevant research, and short stories that make each chapter interesting and easy to read. The best part is that every chapter has several exercises that help you reflect on what you have just read and then evaluate how it applies to your life. This workbook is a must-read if you are looking to make a positive change in your life!

Another gift for my sister
She is 8 months into her sobriety and is doing absolutely amazing! She has been reading a lot and I’ve noticed her looking at this workbook. I bought it for her for her birthday a few days ago and she’s already almost done with it. Great book/workbook for sure!

New insights into my daily challenges
The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction had given me new insights into my daily life. I never even realized that I had addictions until working through this workbook. I have learned that I had become addicted to feeling bad and to believing that life has nothing more than pain and misery. Working through this book, I can see more clear about how I have let false beliefs turn me away from the better life. I had allowed my life to become bitter and became addicted to being bitter and seeing everyone around me as bitter people until I began to reexamine my feelings and see where these feelings of anger and distain were really coming from, inside myself.Now I have a new outlook on life and can see that life is really only what we make of it and how we view ourselves.I would recommend this workbook to everyone who has a lack of happiness in their lives.

A must have for those that constantly relapse and don’t know why.
For any one that is in Recovery be it AA, NA, CA , etc this is a must have if you have a problem holding together 6 months or a year of sobriety. The root cause of relapsing is what you need to get to and this book is a great way to do it. It is recommended in the book as well as by me to work on this book with a Therapist or higher or with a group. Do not do this alone. This book will bring up emotions and buried memories that you did not even know were there. It is not brain washing but it written so well and in a fashion that you don’t even know you got From A to Z until you are there. I am about halfway through and I can tell how it has altered my perception of myself and already has helped me dig up some root causes as to why 10 years into the program the best I was ever able to stay sober was 1 year and 9 days.

Excellent and applicable to everyone
I thoroughly enjoyed “The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction” because it delivered as advertised. Expertly weaving case study examples with concepts learned in each chapter, Julie and Rebecca bring to real life both the recognition of triggers to addictive behavior and how to help manage them. As a therapist, I have used the mindfulness principles and exercises from the workbook in a group setting and found them to be extremely applicable to all types of addictions and I recommend it for the shelves of every clinician. On a personal level, as someone who has struggled with some addictive behaviors, I found the workbook refreshingly balanced in its candid yet compassionate approach, and I have highly recommended it to family and friends. No matter what your struggle may be, as human beings we all have some grief, stress and/or anger that negatively impact us in some way; this workbook may well be the launching pad for healing you didn’t even know you needed. I know it has been that for me.
