 Perhaps you 
or someone you love has tried unsuccessfully once, twice or more 
to gain and maintain freedom from addiction. The truth is that 
many addicts make upwards of fifty attempts to gain sobriety, 
only to relapse again and again.

Many people say that these 
failed attempts at sobriety result from a lack of willpower. But 
this is simply not so. Addiction is largely a disease of the 
brain, and the biochemical imbalances associated with it creat 
chronic abstinence-based symptoms--such as anxiety, confusion, 
severe cravings and depression--that often lead to relapse. For 
many individuals, staying sober and free from addiction means 
living with severe emotional, mental, and physical pain--unless 
proper brain chemistry is restored.

In this book, addiction 
recovery experts Merlene and David Miller present many 
revolutionary and emerging treatment options for not only 
gaining sobriety, but maintaining it as well.
