Publisher's Synopsis
If you struggle with addiction, seeking treatment is a powerful, positive first step toward eventual recovery. But gaining an understanding of the causes of addiction - such as feelings of helplessness or loss of control - is also crucial for recovery.
In this book, you will learn:
- How addictions develop and strengthen. This is important because unless you understand how addiction works, you will struggle to beat it.
- Why you can't just "stop" doing what you're doing, it's not as simple as that and I explain exactly why.
- How to learn to be the master of your thoughts so you never feel you are weaker than your addiction. I can assure you that you are fully in control.
- How addiction can be far more harmful than you might think. It can lead you down a path that can be very hard to escape unless you understand exactly how.
- What the different types of addiction are, they don't all work in the same way, so you may have to treat yours differently from someone else's. I teach you how to do this.
After reading and acting on the tips provided, you will:
- Gain control over the inner voice nagging you to indulge your addictions
- Break the cycle of initial use, withdrawal and then relapse
- Fully understand why it has been so difficult for you to quit your addictions in the past, and the tried and tested methods to do it once and for all.
