5.0 out of 5 stars
A no-nonsense solution, January 9, 2006
This review is from: Saint Jude Home Recovery (Paperback)
This is the best book available on addiction today. I spent 5 years in and out of treatment programs until I was introduced to this program at the age of 25. I'm almost thirty years old now and still sober. Every time I tried to sober up I was left feeling empty, 12 step meetings only reminded me how much I loved drugs, the 12 steppers taught me not to believe in myself, they taught me to see sobriety as a punishment. The St Jude program throws out the 12 step nonsense and teaches you that you don't have a disease, you have a choice. It teaches you how to build a happier life to replace the numbness and pain of the addicted lifestyle. I highly recommend it, especially if you've been through the 12 steps repeatedly and found no help there. This book is inspiring and really shows you how to remove the DESIRE to keep using. That's something that I thought could never be done. It works.
