STRAIGHT UP
a therapeutic writing workshop

Home | About Straight Up |About David Lyndon Brown | Writing | Praise for Straight Up

Straight Up is a writing workshop tailored for people in early recovery from alcohol and drug dependence.

The workshop consists of a series of short writing exercises designed to encourage the participants to reflect and to gain new insights into the nature of their addiction and their relationship with it.

All of the writing is produced within the safe, supportive and affirmative aegis of the workshop and the writers are encouraged to read their work aloud and to receive feedback from their peers. The power of the programme lies in their shared experience.
