I have a client in his late twenties. He never suttered until he decided to quit all substance use/abuse. He is now quite upset that the result of something good is something 'bad'. He is extremely embarrassed by this "new" aspect to his speech. I know that covertly he is asking me if he should return to his earlier behaviors and knows that I would say "no", so he does not ask. But I do not know how to explain what has happened. I am also wanting to be very creative in how I approach treatment with him. I'd like any and all suggestions and adivice anyone has!
