Book Description

August 3, 2012
Are you tired of the guilt, shame and pain of addiction? Are you sick of the constant relapses? Do you yearn for happiness, freedom and a better life?

People can spend years trapped in addiction unnecessarily, because, despite all their efforts, they just don't understand what you really need to do to recover.

Despite attending rehab, counselling, groups and fellowships, many addicts remain stuck in the cycle of addiction, because they are not told some very basic facts about recovery. For some reason, many of the facts about successful recovery have remained a secret - until now.

Beth Burgess has written THE book on addiction recovery, having struggled as a serial relapser and become frustrated about having to learn by trial and error. She saw too many people around her doing the same thing, and set out to write a book which shared the secrets of addiction recovery, that most addicts take a long and painful time to learn.

After studying what successful addicts were doing to get better, and looking at the lessons she learnt from her own journey, Beth decided to share what really works and what doesn't when it comes to getting clean and sober.

The Recovery Formula is an essential guide for anyone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs and wants to do something about it. The book will help you to understand your problem, to make decisions about treatment, to avoid relapse and to set yourself up for success from the start. The Recovery Formula is a framework that anyone can use to achieve a happy and successful sobriety.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starting again with this book as the guide December 14, 2012
Format:Paperback
I was clean once before, free from drugs and alcohol. I managed to maintain this state for about three months before the death of my best friend completely totaled my resolve. I managed another two months again this year before I caved in completely after losing my job. I was surprised how much I was able to enjoy bits of sobriety, even though it was tough in certain situations. But it always seemed that life handed me a big fat lemon whenever I was trying my hardest. After reading this book, I realise that no matter what happens in my life, I need to do it sober. The writer hit home some points I had never really thought of before. After getting over the fact the writer is English, not American, which did take a little getting used to, I rate this book 5/5. there are some real gems of wisdom in here. I will be returning to the lessons again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars On behalf of parents everywhere November 30, 2012
By ecca
Format:Paperback
My daughter is an addict. Another parent from a support group I attend loaned me this book as I was having a tough time with my DD and her problems. I try everything I can to understand what she is going through, but sometimes it's very hard.

I was in tears reading this book, finding someone whose life story is so similar to my own daughter's. Having read it through, I passed it on to my own daughter - I just left it on her pillow, face down.

Two days later, she came to me. I expected the usual anger at trying to intervene - but no, she had actually read it and wanted to let me know how useful she'd found it. It is too early to tell if I have my daughter back yet, but last week she told me she wanted to go to a support group too, and for the first time in ages, she hugged me and meant it.

Please don't give up on your kids. The book's author found recovery - and I believe my daughter has now seen some sort of light. I pray that she will find recovery too."

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has opened my eyes! November 28, 2012
Format:Paperback
I have been trying to stop drinking for what seems like forever. I finally managed to get the monkey off my back for a few weeks or months at a time - and then I found myself falling into all the old traps again. Only I didn't know they were traps - I thought that was just how it was when you tried to stop drinking. A few steps forward, and then back again, several more. I thought it had to be that way - and was pretty much losing hope. Until I read this book.

Finally, I don't feel alone in this addiction. Finally I understand the lies I have been telling myself. And finally I see the way forward. Thank you so much for writing this book! I know it will still be an effort, but now I have a trusty guide that I can identify with, to hold my hand and keep me from stumbling any more. I have some answers and some solid advice. My eyes have been truly opened. Yours in hope.
