QUESTIONAIRE FOR NEW BOOK
1. How old were you when you
started on alcohol or drugs? Did you mix both or more?
2. What made you turn to
them?
3. Have your parents or
other family members had this disease?
4. Did you go for help with
counseling? Did you ever enter a rehabilitation center? Did you get a
sponsor?
5. Did any of this help you,
and if not, what did?
6. Are you clean and for how
long? Have you fallen?
7. What were your
feelings toward family?
8. What were your inner
feelings emotionally and physically? Did you feel abandon? What was your
attitude toward rehabilitation centers or half-way houses? Did they help
you or did it make you feel worse being in them? What do you feel in your
heart would have helped you get back on your feet.
9. What is missing with
the programs to help you? Could you related to another person at these
locations? I don't mean with the abuse, I mean the person
themselves. Did one person pull you away from the abuse? What made
the difference with them and not the others trying to help you.
10. Did you ever feel
loved from family members going through your struggle? What did you want
from family at this hard time?
11. Most Important, what advise do
you give to another abuser to help them seek help? Try to tell, especially children in your words,
that it isn't really cool partnering up with these groups at school.
12. Optional; your name or
initials. What state are you from?
Remember this book will
be published so that it will become the abuser's story and their book. No
outlook from doctors, professionals or family will be added to it. Ninety
percent of the book will be about your life and struggles. The other ten
percent will be my introduction.
There will be
two reasons for this publication:
a. So the abuser
will be able to help others fighting this demon and they'll have another
abuser to relate to.
b. Hopefully, you can
educate children early to avoid and walk away from the drug dealers and the
people offering alcohol to minors. They can't sell it if children start to
get educated on it being a killer and they get the courage to ignore the
distribution of it. This includes staying away from the friends pulling
them in so that they can fit into the crowd that they feel is cool.

everyone the release date who is participating in this book. |
