Notes:
Ask for volunteers to share
examples of how any of
the areas of their lives
on this page (loving relationships/
sexuality, self-esteem and important
relationships) have been affected by
substance use.
Ask them to provide specific
examples (such as, “My girlfriend
broke up with me because of how
I would act when I was doing
meth” or “My grandma has always
been my biggest supporter… until
I started drinking. Now we’re not
close anymore.”).
Have participants discuss
the differences in self-
esteem as a result of using
and not using. What were the highs
and lows that participants typically
experienced with self-esteem as a
result of their substance use?
Optional Activity: Have
participants expand on
any of the three life areas
on pages 28 and 29 that have been
negatively affected by their use
of alcohol or other drugs. What
strengths and resources can they
tap into to help them work through
their concerns? Who can they ask
for help

Alternatives is a fresh approach to youth education, designed to provide facts, tools and support for those dealing with alcohol and other drug-related violations. Individuals learn personal responsibility and practice making positive, long-lasting behavior changes that will lead to better choices in the future.
This essential tool helps program facilitators effectively deliver course material. Each page of the Alternatives Participant Journal is reviewed in detail, with suggested activities and notes offering a variety of strategies which give facilitators the flexibility to adjust their presentation of Journal material according to their own schedule and capabilities. The suggested activities found throughout the Guide correlate with the content of the Participant Journal to help meet the objectives of the program.
