Addictive Behavior

Praise for Deepak Chopra, M.D.: "A new medicine is in the making, one in which mind, consciousness, meaning, and intelligence play key roles. One of the architects of the new medicine is Dr. Chopra, a credentialed, respected physician who has 'paid his dues' as a modern doctor." Larry Dossey, M...

Randall Grange has been tricked into admitting herself into a treatment center and she doesn't know why. She's not a party hound like the others in her therapy group - but then again, she knows she can't live without pills or booze. Raised by an abusive father, a detached mother, and a loving aunt and uncle, Randall both loves and hates her life. She's awkward and a misfit. Her parents introduced her to alcohol and tranquilizers at a young age, ensuring that her teenage years would be full of bad choices, and by the time she's 23 years old, she's a full-blown drug addict.

We are not powerless over our addictions, nor are we helpless victims of heredity, a disease, a spiritual malady, or a slew of character defects that require the intervention of a "higher power," and a lifetime of meetings to control. Studies show that 75% of all addicts recover on their own, without pills, patches, rehabs, or self-help groups. How many people do you know who successfully quit smoking “cold turkey,” without artificial aids or programs, and nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on earth.

Live One Life is an eye-opening and heart-touching book. Anyone struggling with traumas or addictions can benefit from the honesty, humility, and hope given in this inspiring listen. Change is an inside job and you must start with yourself because, “If nothing changes…nothing changes”. Through proven solutions, David empowers you to overcome your challenges.

For many in recovery, traditional views of a Higher Power do not resonate. This dissonance left author Buddy C. feeling hopeless. As a result, Buddy entered a cycle of recovery and relapse for over six years. If you are reading this, you, or someone you love, is probably dealing with a life-controlling addiction, even though they have tried to break free. Buddy wrestled with the same dilemma. Buddy tried the 12-step recovery process but found surrendering to a “power greater than ourselves” undefinable and even unattainable.

Based on the innovative premise that addiction is not limited to drugs or alcohol, but is truly about the over-the-top, out-of-control lifestyles that have detached Americans from each other and their spiritual Connections (with a capital “C”), Dr. Carol Clark looks at addiction as something in and of itself, a condition rather than a substance abuse or behavioral problem.

Mary-Margaret Stratton, Essene minister, certified raw-food nutritionist, instructional designer, and a "veteran" of 12-step philosophy, discusses how you can radically support recovery and help to heal your addictive and compulsive behaviors through holistic, natural nutrition and positive, mindful behavior modification.
