Customer Reviews

This book's program should be in all alochol abuse programs.

If you have a problem with alcohol and has been unsuccessful with conventional programs or know someone who has. DON'T GIVE UP BEFORE YOUR READ THIS BOOK. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF A LOVE ONE. This program can help millions who suffer from alcoholism. It explains why so many alcoholics are unsuccessful at abstaining from alcohol. It contradicts the general perception of alcohol abuse and that alcoholics can't be helped until they want to. It proves (if you will) that alcoholism is indeed a disease and not only mental but mostly physical. I found answers and reasons for why alcoholics behave the way they do and how it is genetic and hereditary. This book is based on scientific and medical research and the findings are absolutely amazing. It also shows that like any other physical disease or illness, if after diagnosing the problem, there is not a physical treatment to prepare the damage, recovery is almost impossible. The program described is extraordinary to say the least. Frankly it disturbed me that our government has had this evidence for over 40 years that this program can triple the success rate of recovering alcoholics as well as make it easier and less painful for persons trying to get help. Reading this book could probably greatly increase the amount of people who seek help.

Great book - helps explain the chemistry of alcohol cravings

I found this book facinating! It not only explains why some people crave alcohol but it also gives a roadmap out of the horrible maze of addiction. It is facinating and gives real help to those people that haven't found their solution to their problem.
