David M Fawcett: Lust, Men and Meth, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Lust, Men and Meth: A Study Guide expands upon the influential work presented in Lust, Men and Meth by Dr. David Fawcett, offering a practical and structured resource for those seeking deeper insight into recovery from methamphetamine use among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Co-authored with recovery coach Dallas Bragg, this companion volume transforms the research and clinical frameworks of the original book into an interactive guide designed for personal reflection, peer-support environments, professional practice, and community-based programming.

Blending core concepts from the main text with accessible learning tools, the Study Guide includes guided exercises, journaling prompts, discussion questions, and evidence-informed strategies that help readers examine the relationship between chemsex, sexuality, intimacy, and emotional coping. It supports individuals in understanding how meth intersects with desire, connection, trauma, and pleasure-and how these patterns can be gently unraveled to make space for authentic intimacy, choice, and long-term healing. Fawcett and Bragg draw from decades of therapeutic and lived experience to address the realities of recovery with clarity and compassion. The Study Guide acknowledges the shame, secrecy, and social stigma many men face, while offering pathways toward resilience, self-acceptance, and reconnection with community and self. Whether used as a personal workbook, a clinical aid, or a group curriculum, the material invites honest exploration while equipping readers with practical tools for rebuilding relationships, navigating triggers, and cultivating healthy pleasure without substances.

Thoughtful, structured, and deeply affirming, Lust, Men and Meth: A Study Guide is an essential companion for treatment providers, recovery coaches, peer facilitators, and anyone supporting men in breaking compulsive cycles and reclaiming their lives with dignity, autonomy, and hope.
