Publisher's Summary:
For anyone trying to overcome an addiction, living with someone with an addiction, or helping someone with an addiction
As most drug and alcohol addicts eventually realize, good intentions alone aren't enough to break destructive habits. However, addiction can be managed once its true nature is understood. This simple yet profound guidebook takes you step-by-step through the process of building a life after addiction by adopting new behaviors that create lasting change. An internationally renowned psychiatrist, neurologist, and addiction specialist, Dr. Walter Ling has worked with thousands of addicts, their loved ones, and fellow clinicians. His no-nonsense, no-judgment approach, which he calls the "neuroscience of common sense," advocates holistic methods to prevent relapse and establish new patterns to create a sustainable, meaningful life.

When someone is ready to free themselves from an addiction - and I believe that must happen before any improvement can be made â this is the perfect helpmate. Mastering the Addicted Brain
Finally, insight into the mind of an addict. What drives them, how the body and mind are affected by addiction and steps that can be taken to overcome the battles of addictions. A volume long needed.
The book is written in clear terms â laymenâs language - and this makes the information approachable and the prospect of help achievable. All aspects of addictions are discussed. How and why someone is addicted; detxification, how to prepare for your life once you are off drugs. How to achieve emotional health, how to live responsibly and how to heal relationships and how to live a balanced life are among topics discussed.
When someone is ready to free themselves from an addiction - and I believe that must happen before any improvement can be made â this is the perfect helpmate. Mastering the Addicted Brain: Building a Sane and Meaningful Life to Stay Clean is the perfect tool for anyone coping with the addiction of a loved one, too. Easily digested information that leads to the understanding of why and how someone can live such out of control, miserable lives.
Addictions cause pain, heart ache and sometimes financial ruin. Freeing oneself from an addiction or helping someone free themselves can seem overwhelming, stressful and impossible. To find so much useful information in such a small volume seems to good to be true, but it isnât. I would happily recommend this book to anyone fighting the battle of their lifetime.

Enlightening
I have been familiar with Dr. Ling's medical research for years, as he has published numerous academic articles about drug addiction and clinical research, so I decided to give this book a read. It took 3 hours total from front to back. This book explains in detail what addiction is, how addictive behaviors impact our reptilian, limbic, and cortical brains, and he identifies all the areas in a persons life that need to be addressed in order to stay off drugs long term/forever.
