This review is from: How to Quit Drugs for Good: A Complete Self-Help Guide (Paperback)

I've worked with Jerry Dorsman closely, and I wanted to share with you my personal high regards for Jerry Dorsman and his new book "How to Quit Drugs for Good". I was fortunate enough to see Jerry apply many of the methods he details in his book with real people in real settings. Jerry is not a one-track thinker and is aware that different strokes work for different folks. The purpose of his book is to highlight the whole spectrum of treatments available for addictions so that the reader can better select a treatment more suitable to their unique needs. It is a comprehensive manual that goes into detail about all drugs, their effects, and effective treatments and therapies available. One would do very well in selecting this book to help themselves or as a manual in helping others in the field of addictions treatment. I found his first book "How to Quit Drinking Without AA" an essential tool in my own counseling experiences. It was so incredibly useful from a concrete treatment perspective that I referenced it in my own treatment plan development. I saw great results, and I stand by that. That's all I needed to see. Now I recommend all his books, because he cuts right to the chase without all the fluff. When you're in trouble, you don't want to waste time. You want to know what to do and how as soon as you can. This book is not the cure, but it's the best stepping stone to the cure only you can provide. Trust me on this!

I bought this for a relative who says it keeps him focused and is a alternative to AA meetings which my brother so much disliked going to. He says the nutritional changes in diet are also very helpful
