count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who
conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self." -

any addictive behavior, such as alcohol, other substances,
or activities, is the focus of this program. It entails a
four-point process designed for the members to gain

Meetings are held every Tuesday evening from 7:00 PM - 9:00
PM in the seminar classroom of my office at 955 Dairy
Ashford, Suite 108, Houston, TX 77079. Meetings are held
only once a week because the participant is expected to
engage in self-assigned homework. A manual is
available for $7.00, which provides numerous methods of
working out an ABC approach to a specific problem,
situation, or event. The ABC technique is
demonstrated at each meeting. Members are trained in
25 other techniques as well. |
