Are you tired of the guilt, shame, and pain of addiction? Are you sick of continual relapses? Do you yearn to be free?
People can spend years trapped in addiction, despite their best efforts, because no-one tells them the truth about how to achieve a successful recovery.
Rehab, counselling, groups, and fellowships often don't tell you some basic facts about sobriety. This means addicts can become serial relapsers, wondering why it seems impossible to stay clean and sober.
Beth Burgess was one of those addicts and became frustrated about having to learn by trial and error. After finally achieving a solid recovery, she set out to share the truth about how to recover, which most addicts take a long and painful time to learn.After studying what successful addicts did to get better, and looking at lessons from her own journey, Beth shares what really works (and what doesn't) to stay clean and sober.
The Recovery Formula is an essential guide for anyone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs and wants to change. The book will help you to truly understand your problem, make decisions about treatment, avoid relapse, and set yourself up for success from the start. The Recovery Formula is a framework that anyone can use to achieve a happy and successful recovery.
Receiving high praise from addicts and addiction professionals alike, this is THE book to have if you want to get clean and sober forever.
Your recovery starts here.
With a Foreword by Professor David Clark, Professor Emeritus of Psychology.
