    The Original Peer Support Recovery & Coping Skills Workbook & Curriculum is a book by someone who believes in recovery with all his heart. That guy's name is Gregorio Lewis. 
Sometimes, life happens and things change. This author walked his talk straight into the gutter-living a fairly desperate and upsetting, yet transformative life while homeless-until a mere 3 years and two months ago. Now, living a new life. Truly alive and well in the heart of Mexico. He's evidence that if you want to get better, do the work, experience the improvements. 
This workbook and curriculum is for people like me: the poor, the unwanted, the blamed, the hurt, the labeled, the outcast, and the rejected. This workbook and curriculum is for people like you: the carers, the lovers, the educators, the agents-of change and the healers. Everything you read in this book was learned and earned the hard way. 
Recovery is some of the hardest work possible. Do it, and keep doing it and maybe, just maybe, your dreams will also come true.
