True Recovery

The bottom line in recovery isn't avoiding destructive behaviors; it's learning to live a content life, with positive, productive and enjoyable behaviors. What's the point of spending our whole lives avoiding what we crave, when we can learn to crave the best things in life and begin to care less about the stuff that gets us in trouble? That's what truerecovery.org is all about.

Here in the Learning Center we offer information and features to coach you through learning and practicing the skills we all need to lead an enjoyable, healthy life:

• Getting Started — If you're new to truerecovery.org, this is the place to start. This section provides a detailed overview of our approach, and what the site offers.
• Learning Center — Here are links to each of the learning center modules and sections. If you're just looking for one section to address a specific issue, or picking up with a new lesson, start browsing here.
• Worksheet Manager — Many of the sections include worksheets to help practice or use skills. Our worksheet manager allows you to create and fill out worksheets online, then print or save them for later.
• Learning Links — We're not the only site on the web offering lessons in this stuff. If you're interested in exploring the information other sites offer, here are a few we find valuable.
• On-line Therapists — Most people learning DBT make a one-year commitment to attend group classes and see a therapist trained in DBT. If you have trouble finding a DBT trained therapist in your area, here are a few who will work with you over the phone, or in chat on the web.
• Bookstore — With the help of Amazon.com, we offer a bookstore filled with great books, CDs and DVDs covering DBT, CBT, Recovery, Mindfulness and a whole array of topics related to your personal growth and development. Take a moment and browse our selection.
