Conquer Substance Use Issues - Your Way!
Millions of people
today who are struggling with some kind of substance use issue or other
challenging, hard-to-break habit or addiction have come to the conclusion that
the 12 steps simply are not for them. Similar to the way that not everyone
responds the way they are supposed to when taking a medication for an illness, many
people who use substances but want to change would consider themselves “12 Step
Resistant” for a variety of reasons, yet they desperately need an alternative
approach that works.
Finally, an
effective method for making positive changes with our bad habits and addictions
is here. The exciting new book Taking
the Escalator: An Alternative to the 12 Steps, written by Ken Pecoraro,
is different than the 12 steps and many other methods because the methodology does
not prescribe a predetermined path toward self-improvement simply based on what
may have worked for some other individuals years ago. Taking the Escalator
instead allows the reader to consider their own personal values, beliefs and
circumstances and then develop their own road map toward “escalation” or
“upward change”, which in effect is the process getting better by getting
motivated and staying that way! This
amazing method will simply change the way the world looks at addiction which is
long overdue.
Ken
Pecoraro, LCSW, LCADC, has worked directly providing treatment for individuals
with substance use and emotional-behavioral issues for over 20 years using a
motivational perspective. His extensive knowledge and expertise with helping
individuals who find change extremely challenging as well as caring for
individuals who did not respond to traditional approaches permeates Taking the Escalator: An Alternative to
the 12 Steps.
