No Shortcuts to Recovery

Hi There and thanks for your question. It's tempting to believe that all one needs to do to cease addiction and additive behavior is to read a self help book and follow instructions. My experience is that when all we do is achieve abstinence from a substance, we tend to replace it with other addictions or behaviors.
I've worked in addictions for a lot of years and I had to Google Mr. Carr's program to find out what it is...if that tells you anything about how respected it is. "Quitting" cigarettes, weed, or alcohol is easy - it's the staying quit part that's hard and the changing your ife part that's much harder. I wish you well and I believe that AA & NA are hands down the most effective programs to not only achieve abstinence but to also change your life.
