They stress 8 essential skills:

* Accepting disappointments without resorting to drug use

* Coping with chronic stress

* Resisting the lure of "easy money"

* Avoiding going back to the old spot

* Resisting the pull of the street life

* Planning to handle offers

* Maintaining complete abstinence

* Using a support system.

--Get the feelings out: talk, cry, write, find some physical release

-- Find ways to clam and soothe yourself

* Specific emotional "dangerzones," with examples of how to cope with each:

-- Anger

-- Feelings related to racism and discrimination

-- Shame

-- Feelings related to past abuse
