Reviews

"Without denying the difficulty of the terrain, Dodes's program is a call to a clear-eyed, coherent approach. This groundbreaking work should become the 'go to' handbook for anyone suffering with addiction. Its easy-to-read style takes sophisticated ideas and turns them into memorable examples. I highly recommend it." -- Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Answers to Distraction and Superparenting for ADD
