Preface

Addiction and alcoholism are two of the most pervasive and destructive issues that individuals face today. These conditions can wreak havoc on not only the individual but also their families, friends, and communities. However, we believe that recovery is possible for everyone. We have seen first-hand the transformative power of addiction treatment and recovery and the incredible resilience and strength of those who seek help.

As addiction and mental health professionals, we have spent decades working with individuals who are struggling with addiction and other mental health issues. During our time in the field, we have seen many people achieve lasting sobriety and go on to live fulfilling lives. However, we have also seen many people struggle to maintain recovery or never fully embrace it. We believe that this is often due to a lack of understanding of the tools and resources that are available to them.

Our goal is to provide readers with a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of addiction and recovery and offers evidence-based tools and techniques to help individuals overcome addiction and achieve lasting sobriety.

In writing this book, we drew upon our extensive experience in addiction treatment and our passion for helping individuals achieve lasting recovery. We wanted to provide readers with a practical and accessible guide that would help them understand the complexities of addiction and provide them with tools and resources that they can use to overcome their
