G.R.I.T. Trainer's Manual for Recovering Addicts

For recovery programs, sober living communities, peer support organizations, and reentry services.

What carries someone through the long middle of recovery isn't willpower. It's grit — Great Resilience in Time. And grit can be taught.

This manual walks a facilitator through building grit and training participants to cultivate it — built for the ordinary weeks after crisis, when structure matters most.

This is an educational resource for use alongside recovery support, not a treatment curriculum and not a substitute for clinical care. Designed for facilitators already working within a program, alongside counselors, or in peer support settings.

Includes: the complete G.R.I.T. framework, a scored G.R.I.T. assessment, guided reflections, and facilitator guidance for walking a group through building grit. 100+ pages, print-ready PDF.
