Guiltbusters!-Thank you Dr. Anderson for giving us a darn good reason to take care of ourselves, putting ourselves at the top of our list of things to do: If we take care of ourselves, we won't relapse. Do we have to feel guilty about having this information and not going to therapy? Should Donald Trump read this book? Thanks Dr. Anderson for giving us the benefit of your years of practice and obsevation in an easy-to-read format. Betty Winston

This well-written, easy to understand book makes the often-ignored point that chronic anxiety lies beneath addiction and that "if you are chronically anxious, you do not take good care of yourself." Dr. Anderson gives page after page of practical advice on taking care of yourself in effective ways that can reduce or eliminate the chronic anxiety and make the path of sobriety a true path of recovery. The subtitle to this book is ambitious: "Stop Addiction Forever!" By looking at how to deal with anxiety as a root cause of addictions(alcohol, food, sex, gambling, smoking, etc.) Dr. Anderson provides a roadmap for permanent change. This book is very helpful for anyone who has struggled with addictive behavior, as well as for counselors and substance abuse professionals who play a significant role in the recovery process.
