The revised edition of this workbook aims to help people who use alcohol or drugs to think about the importance of eating well and find ways to achieve a more balanced diet. If you use alcohol or drugs, please read on. This workbook is for people who are ready to think about changing how they eat to help improve their health or wellbeing. Some people may need more specialised dietary advice from a dietitian e.g. people with symptoms of liver disease; people who have lost weight over a few months (e.g. 3-6 months) without meaning to; those who have difficulty with eating; or those needing dietary advice for a medical condition such as diabetes. If you fall into any of these categories, you should discuss with your GP who may refer you to a Dietitian. This booklet is designed so you can use it by yourself or with someone’s help. If you would like help using this workbook, why not ask a healthcare worker, support worker or a family member.
