Book Description
Many people think that what the addict needs is willpower, but nothing could be further from the truth: When a person has already lost control over a drug or activity, attempts to control its use almost never work. Because the source of addiction isn't the drug or activity itself but a desire for a mood changer, successful recovery means ultimately changing the way we live, giving up the addictive life-style. Willpower's Not Enough will show you how to change your life-style and to recover from your addiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for family dealing with an addict,
This review is from: Willpower Is Not Enough (Paperback)
I bought this book to learn about addictions after my common law chose the drugs over his his unborn child and me. Not having an addictive personally I found it hurtful that he would make this choice. After reading this book it opened my eyes to how an addict feels and lives their lives. It did not help him with his addictions, but it gave me a much better understanding of what I was up against. I would highly recommend this book to any person who has a loved one in their life that is being controlled by an addiction.

This review is from: Willpower Is Not Enough (Paperback)
This book sheds no new light on anything about addiction. It re-hashes what already is not working.

It worked for me!,

This review is from: Willpower Is Not Enough (Paperback)
a friend's women friend gave me this book because he won't read it. She wanted me to help him with his dependency. I did the best I could but am too judgemental. I did read the book for a few years again and again finding some security in the book. I have been clean five years now. I didn't follow the book to the letter of the law but found it quite enjoyable to read. My friend has it now I hope he gets better because he is sick not a criminal.
