The World's First Drunk

With Counselor Talking Points

By: Robert Villegas

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The materials in this document are intended for counselors who are seeking new tools and a new understanding of addiction without the almost obligatory religious perspective. In fact, this new perspective is secular – without religion – and provides some interesting insights for counselors dealing with patients who need that understanding. This document is the counselor’s companion document to the Patient version of this story entitle “The World’s First Drunk”. It contains a quiz for the patient and some talking points for group and individual discussion with the patient. The intent of these materials is for the counsellor to provide the Patient version to patients and then use the Counselor version to direct an individual or group discussion as the patients report on their specific answers to the quiz.
