Back to topLiberados: Cómo dejar cualquier adicción (Paperback)
Description
If smoking, constantly eating or drinking, or gambling have become hindrances to achieving your goals and you no longer have control or know how to overcome your addictions, this book is for you. Discover strategies that help you regain control of your life and build a better future. Dr. Frederick Woolverton, specialist in addictions, compiles several cases of past patients who were addicted to various substances or activities, from alcohol and drug use to gambling and pornography, and how they were rehabilitated. In collaboration with his former patient, Susan Shapiro, Woolverton proposes different ways to free yourself from suffering without having to resort to temporary releases of endorphins that addictions cause. This book will help you learn to trust in people rather than in harmful substances.
