Dan's graduate work focused on the transformation of masculinity in the Twelve Step culture. He is an international speaker and consultant who lives in LA with his wife and daughter. He has been in recovery since 1994.
Rick Dauer, LADC, is a behavioral health consultant and trainer. He has been a professional in the field of addiction since 1984 and has experience in residential, outpatient, and corrections-based treatment programs, including over twenty-five years as a clinical director. He has served on numerous state and national boards, panels, and task forces dedicated to improving access to high-quality substance use disorder services. He has long been an advocate for and practitioner of gender-responsive and trauma-informed care and he supervised the first pilot programs for both the Helping Women Recover and Helping Men Recover curricula. Rick lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and has been in recovery for over forty years.
Helping Men Recover addresses issues that many men struggle with, especially if they are experiencing problems with alcohol or other drugs. In most cases, you will be using this workbook as part of a program in which you meet regularly with a group of other recovering individuals. You will attend twenty-one sessions with them; together, you will develop new skills and new ways of thinking about yourselves. Your group will be led by a facilitator who has experience with addiction services and the process of recovery. He will offer you insights about the thoughts and feelings that you may experience as you do the work suggested in the sessions and in this workbook.
Although this workbook is designed for use in the Helping Men Recover program, you may use it by yourself or perhaps with the help of an addictions counselor or other helping professional. There are guidelines included for doing this.
The program is organized into four sections, or modules: Self, Relationships, Sexuality, and Spirituality. These are four areas that men consistently identify as the triggers for relapse and the areas of greatest change in their recoveries. Each person's process of recovery is unique, but most of us find that it involves discovering our true selves, connecting in healthy relationships with others, understanding our sexuality, and gaining some spiritual connection.
Within the four modules, specific topics are covered, including
Self-awareness and identity
How men are socialized in our society
The impact of the family of origin
Grounding and relaxation techniques
Communication
Power, violence, and abuse
Relationships
Trauma and addiction
Sexual identity
Healthy sexuality
What spirituality is
Awareness is the first step toward change. When you become aware of your addiction, you can decide to begin a process of recovery. When you become more aware of yourself and your relationships, you can make changes in your life. So the journey is about discovery as well as recovery. As you begin to think, feel, and act differently, you begin to heal and to connect with and value all parts of yourself—inner as well as outer.
The goals of the Helping Men Recover program are
To provide a safe place to reflect and learn more about yourself
To learn about men, addiction, and trauma
To develop the skills necessary for developing healthy and growth-fostering relationships
To learn skills for maintaining recovery
To identify the life you want to live
Helping Men Recover originally was designed as a gender-based, trauma-informed treatment program for men with substance use disorders. Over the years, our understanding of gender has shifted from the binary male-female model to a more inclusive and expansive model. We now know that sexual identity and gender identity can be more fluid; each exists across a continuum. Therefore, one of the revisions to this program is to make it suitable for men, trans men, and nonbinary people who have a masculine experience of the world. Other revisions include the updating of research, theories, practices, and contents of the sessions. In addition, this special edition has been designed for individuals who are involved in the criminal justice system, including those who are living in custodial settings.
This workbook is a tool to help you with your growth and recovery. You will be using it alone or as part of a Helping Men Recover program. It is a place to record your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and what you learn during the group sessions and for activities that you will be doing on your own between the sessions. This workbook contains
A brief summary of the material covered during each session
Questions that may be used during the subgroup discussions
Space in which to complete activities during the group sessions
Copies of charts and illustrations discussed in the group sessions
Additional information, references, and resources related to the topics of the sessions
Questions and activities to encourage further reflection outside the group
Specific assignments to be completed by the next session
Space to reflect on how the session material relates to your recovery
The activities that are to be completed between the group sessions are designed to help you to reflect on what you have learned, to practice some new skills and behaviors, and to consider the benefits of what you are practicing. Some of them involve writing or drawing, but your skills in these areas are not being tested. You do not need to worry about your handwriting or spelling. There are no right or wrong answers, and your work will not be checked or graded. Your workbook is for your use only. No one will judge what you say. No one else will read any of it without your permission. What matters is what you put into the activities and, consequently, what you get out of them.
If there is any writing to be done, there are spaces provided for that. If you have a hard time writing what you want to say, it's okay to draw pictures or use abbreviations instead. It's also okay to work on these activities with another group member and to help each other. Asking for help can be tough for some people. Your recovery will depend, in part, on your willingness to ask for help, so this would be a good place to begin.
When you begin to use this workbook after a group session or on your own, take a minute or two to unwind, relax, and focus on where you are now. Just get settled in the way that feels best for you. Allow yourself to notice how you're breathing and then inhale gently and exhale fully. Repeat the breathing exercise two more times.
You may be concerned about keeping your workbook private. If you live with others and are not sure that they will respect your privacy, you should hide your workbook or lock it up. Or you can ask the facilitator or another counselor to help you find ways to keep your workbook safe between group sessions. The facilitator(s) are prepared for such requests. If the facilitator will be holding your workbook between the sessions, he will respect your privacy and will arrange for you to complete the extra activities after each session or at some other time.
If you are living in a custodial setting, such as a jail or prison, your facilitator will offer guidelines on how to use this workbook and how to keep it safe.
It is important that you bring your workbooks to each group session, so please try to remember that each time.
Your facilitator's name is.
Your co-facilitator's name (if there is one) is.
Your group will meet.
Being “grounded” means being able to remain present in the “here and now,” even when experiencing powerful feelings. This session contains a couple of simple techniques that you can use by yourself when you are feeling uncomfortable or anxious or stressed. It is common and normal to occasionally feel uncomfortable, particularly when in a new group or when doing something unfamiliar.
Turn your attention inward and check out what is going on in your body. You may close your eyes or just lower your eyelids or focus by staring at something. Turn your attention to what you notice about yourself. Just curiously notice what you are feeling in your emotions and your body. Notice any areas of pain or tension or other sensations. Make any adjustments you need to help yourself feel more comfortable. See if anything changes as a result of your paying kind attention to it. You might notice your breath. Just allow yourself to explore your “felt” self for a bit.
This is a settling and grounding activity. It helps you to be a bit more comfortable with where you are and what is going on inside you. For people who have struggled with addiction and for those who have experienced trauma, this is a very important skill to learn. For those who are living in challenging environments, such as correctional facilities, being able to temporarily block out the noise, the chaos, and the stress is a valuable tool.
This group is a place for you to present yourself as you really are and to explore who you hope to become. It is a place to be your genuine self while supporting others who are doing the same thing. This program is created for men, trans men, and nonbinary people who have a masculine experience of the world. So, in order to be as inclusive as possible, we invite you to share your pronouns when you introduce yourselves.
If you are using this workbook on your own, read the questions and think about how you would introduce yourself to others.
My name:
When and where I was born:
How I identify myself (including culture, ethnicity, race, and pronouns):
The people in my family (can include a wife/husband or live-in partner, children, mother, father, brothers, sisters, cellmate, or whomever you consider your immediate family):
One thing I like about myself or a special gift that I have:
The goals of this session are
To learn about the goals and structure of the program
To begin to get to know one another and develop trust
To create a list of group agreements
To learn about men, addiction, and trauma
To learn some relaxation and grounding activities
Each session will begin with a time to settle in and prepare to do what you need to do during the group session. Group members will then check in with one another.
Next, your group will discuss the Between-Sessions Activities from the previous session and talk briefly about the goals of the current session.
In each session, there will be information presented on specific topics, followed by activities and discussions based on the information. There will be questions to help guide the group discussions.
In each module, you will practice some relaxation and grounding activities.
Because some of the content in these sessions may be difficult for you to think about and talk about, the facilitator will strive to make the group a safe and supportive place where you can experience your feelings and learn from them and also practice supporting the other members of the group. These techniques also may help you as you go through the process of learning to cope without using alcohol and other drugs.
Toward the end of each session, you will hear about new Between-Sessions Activities that will provide the opportunity to put into practice the new concepts and skills you are learning.
There also is a grounding activity at the end of each session.
At the beginning and end of each module, there is a Recovery Scale. The purpose of this scale is for you to evaluate your own progress as you move through the program. No one else will see this.
