3 Steps To Recovery is a book is about my life story. I didn’t want to write about myself, but couldn’t think of another way to fill the pages of a book about beating addiction without including the events leading up to my own struggle with alcohol and drugs. Nor would I be able to share with you the life changing experience that cured a twenty-year addiction. That’s right, cured. I’m not a recovering alcoholic. Most addiction professionals will tell you the opposite. They will swear up and down that no addict or alcoholic can ever be cured and will forever remain in a state of recovery. They will have you believe that every addict is always just one drink or pill away from total relapse and ruination. Addicts are simply far too fragile and helpless to ever hope to defeat our addiction, they assure us. Our only hope is through rehab, group therapy, and attending 12 Step meetings for the rest of our lives. While this approach might be helpful for some people – and I’m not saying it isn’t – there is a simpler way to kick the habit, based on 3 Steps of A.A.’s 12 Step program, and that’s what this book is about.
But the 3 Steps approach to beating addiction doesn’t apply only to alcoholics or drug addicts. The same three steps can be used to overcome any type of addiction, including food, sex, money, internet addiction and more.
I hate long, boring book introductions and prefer to avoid using big words when a short and simple one will do just as well. Some writers seem to love both. I suspect they feel it’s a way to impress others or maybe they think it’s what you’re expected to do as an author. You won’t find much of either in this book. What you will find is a true account of the life of a former addict, how he became one, how he struggled through it, and how he was cured – written in plain English. And, oh yeah - I promise it’s not boring.
