I'd like to ask you what happened to your old "dope smoking mode" after
you've done the "addiction strategy" process. Is it still here but not
"on line" anymore ? Is it removed ? Is it transformed ?

Now the Andrea's "Aligned Self" is marketted under the name "Core Transformation"
I guess it's the same format.
We had tested this format with addicts since march 94 and it's very useful
and effective during the last step of recovery when the person needs to find
attractive motivations and values, living and staying clean and sober.
Now as we are using the "addiction strategy removal", we are testing to use
the "Core Transformation" process just after when the client feels this strong
feeling of loss. We are currently using this feeling of loss to begin the
CT process.
We had exchanged some extensive mail with Connirae Andreas about the use of CT
with addicts. Even if they think that all the recovery can be done within the
CT process, we are still thinking the best time to use it is to set up some
kind of spiritual direction in the person's new sober life.
Is anybody out there currently using CT in addiction recovery ?
Be well,
