How to Quit Drinking for Good and Feel Good: the New Alcoholism Story 2. utgave

Much of what we thought we knew about alcoholism and substance abuse is now obsolete. Neuroscience and biochemistry have found the underlying cause of all addictions and thirty-plus years of experience have given us the recovery method that is getting up to 85% recovery rates. This book contains written tests to determine one?s underlying biochemical imbalances and a step-by-step guide for gaining and maintaining lasting recovery without the symptoms that lead to relapse. Normal brain chemistry is restored with the natural building blocks of micronutrients and healthy nutrition. This program uses the most successful method of recovery available anywhere. Motivated and determined individuals can recover once and for all. Shame, blame, and guilt be gone. Anger and hurt can change to healing, compassion and forgiveness when the real cause of addictions is understood. Addictions are not caused by a mental illness, nor are they caused by a lack of will power, a character defect, or a moral weakness. Sobriety is not recovery. ?One day at a time? struggling, white knuckling, dry drunk behaviors, depression, insomnia, anxiety, cravings, and other symptoms lead to relapse. With the new understanding of addictions, these, and other symptoms can be relieved and prevented, naturally, without the side effects and addictive qualities of prescription medications. This leading-edge book has fifty-plus years of research and experience to back up it's claims. Physicians are not trained in nutrition and micronutrient biochemistry, and they rarely elect to study the field of addictions. Pharmaceutical companies create synthetic molecules to manipulate brain chemistry but these pharmaceutical medications fail to restore brain chemistry to normal. Treating addictions with addictive medications has failed. Proof is in the almost 95% relapse rate that occurs within the first six to twelve months following treatment. If we want different outcomes, we have to do something different to get them. The current rehab and treatment system has failed. The method given in this book, while simplified for a Do-It-Yourself Program, is the direction the addiction field must take if we are to resolve the existing rehabilitation disaster. Informing the general public may be the only way to achieve the changes. When individuals understand the truth about recovery, they will demand that treatment programs treat the underlying cause of addictions and stop wasting people's time, energy, finances, and life. Recovery, without relapse, from alcohol addiction is possible when this basic paradigm is embraced. Hopefully, this book will help to spread the word and provide some individuals with a new and healthy life free from an alcohol addiction.
