Twelve-Step Programme to Kick Your Habit: Break Free from the Cycle of Addiction

Description

Whether it's alcohol, drugs, or gambling, addiction has a tight grip. Written by Dr. Robert Lefever, the founding director of the PROMIS Recovery Centre, this guide explains the roots of addiction, how to recognize the signs, and which treatments are available. For anyone with a problem, or who loves someone who does, this book offers invaluable, up-to-date information and advice.

Dr Robert Lefever established the PROMIS Recovery Centre in 1986 as a specialist treatment centre dealing with all forms of addictive or compulsive behaviour, and the Counselling Centre where he headed the team of primary counsellors. Dr Lefever is a graduate of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and has been a speaker at conferences in the UK, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Germany and Spain.

"When I went into treatment I believed I could stop drinking but I had no belief that life would ever be enjoyable again; it would be something I had to live through. I owe to PROMIS my life, but to Robert I owe the fact that I enjoy it!" Clarissa Dickson Wright, celebrity chef and TV presenter "This book brought it home to me how addiction can affect us all - you may not be an addict but sure 'as eggs is eggs' you will be affected by addiction. Kick Your Habit is extremely helpful for people suffering from addiction, and for their family and friends." Patsy Palmer, Actress
