Summary : This is the workbook that goes with my first book: Midbrain and The Beast. Over the past twenty years while working as a substance abuse counselor and helping people who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, [some making it and some not] I've learned a few things about what works and what doesn't. During the last few years I've been focusing most of my efforts toward something I feel is very important to long term success. And the success I'm referring to means a lot more than just sobriety. Anyone can quit drinking and drugging. A ten year old child can tell you how to quit drinking and drugging. Quitting is the easy part. Staying clean and sober; that's the difficult part. The biggest challenge for most people is living life on life's terms without turning to a mood altering chemical. And how to do that is what I'm going to share with you in this workbook. We'll get into the details of what separates the winners from the losers. Some people don't like when I use the word loser. However, the reality is, if you relapse you will increase your chances of losing this game called life. If you want to be successful do what successful people do, go where they go and learn what they learn. Successful people in recovery are willing to do what the unsuccessful people won't do. This separates the men from the boys [the mature women from the little girls]. As you complete this small workbook program you'll notice I like to keep things simple. I do it this way mainly so I can understand it and then explain things in a way you can understand it. Then you can gain the knowledge and apply it to your life. We've all heard that knowledge is power. Well, I've learned that applied knowledge is real power. And power means the ability to make things happen; to get something done. So, let's get started.

Summary : The title of my book Creatures of Habit is really all about my journey of addiction and alcoholism. As my addiction took over, it seemed at some point all about the maintenance of staying loaded. The fun of it all quickly slipped away, and it was all about maintaining my high. My hopes and dreams slowly slipped away, and it became all about the drug. Family and friends were a thing of the past, and my entire life revolved around methamphetamine. Creatures of Habit is a book about my twenty-year journey with methamphetamine and how I finally broke the habit and started to recover. I only knew what I knew at the time, and it has taken a lot of hard work to unravel my insanity of addiction and to replace that with focus, foundation, dedication, purpose, and the desire to learn. Creatures of Habit is about how a twenty-year meth user turned his life around and managed to not only get family and friends back in my life but those relationships are better than ever before. New relationships are solid, and I'm no longer putting myself in harm's way. I believe in something much greater than myself today.

Summary : What is the scariest thing you can think of? For me, it was overdosing at 27 years old in my friend's basement. Knocked out cold, alone, helpless and at death's door, it was the culmination of a decade-long battle against my desires and addictions. In the time leading up to this, I had been reckless towards not only the people around me, but myself and my body. The addictions that had me imprisoned stemmed from simple issues like overeating on a daily basis to more extreme problems like abusing drugs in the search for that next high. By the time I left high school, I was already addicted to alcohol, food and drugs - sex completed the full cycle soon enough. I was a hundred pounds overweight. I underperformed at work and at home. I spent my days on a high or planning the next one. I had lost all hope in myself and my future. I was a nobody living in an empty body. I took down my mirror because I couldn't bear to look at the stranger that I saw within its depths. I was killing myself, yet I could not bring myself to stop the rut. I made resolutions to quit on a daily basis. I hated what was happening to me, yet could not stop it. Things came to a head when I came within a whisker of death a few weeks after my 27th birthday. That near-death experience saved my life, and gave me a new chance to fight off my addictions. I fought a winning battle and I stand here, almost three decades later, an expert in addiction recovery. I was one of the lucky ones; many people get killed or fail to live due to their addictions. Addictions are something we all neglect till they become too powerful to ignore. Many people wish away their addiction until it becomes too strong, that it becomes their life and truth. I combined my personal experience during my decade of hell and two decades of professional work helping addicts, to produce "Death to Addiction". In this book you will learn: All about your brain and why is yearns for that next 'hit' How to spot a new and upcoming addiction from a mile away The one MAIN reason your addictions occur Why you might be addicted to alcohol without even knowing How drugs are a world of downward spirals How an eating addiction can sneak up out of nowhere Why sex addiction is more than what happens in bed How to turn into the master of yourself and perfect self-discipline The amazing benefits of healthy relationships The two superpowers I used to end hundreds of people's addictions Why meditation and mindfulness are the secret weapons to success The #1 surefire way to putting death to your addiction And so much more... Everyone has their fair share of addictions but nearly 90% of people with them, have no idea what to do about them. So, they clear some space for the addictions to exist. People simply choose to live with them and act like they are not there, when in reality, addictions are the biggest reason why they live their entire life asking themselves, "what if?" Take a moment and ask yourself this: "what would life have been like if I ended my addiction 30 years ago?" And then, ask yourself: "What will my life look like in ten years if I don't end this addiction now?" Putting death to my addictions by applying the tips and strategies in this book flipped my world upside down for the better and I know it will do the same for you. So, do you want to make a change in your life for the better? Do you want to regain control over the real you? Do you want to learn how you can put an end to that addiction that's been eating away at you day in and day out? Then scroll up and click the 'add to cart' button! I can't wait to see you on the other side.
