There is no one book or plan for recovery from addiction, but professionals generally agree, believe and guide one toward the following:
1. You must be sick and tired of being sick and tired
2. You must have lost something important (job, family, etc.) in addition to losing the “good” feelings that have have kept you in addiction.
3. You must have reached the point where you can be totally honest with yourself – especially about yourself

Not easy, but necessary for recovery. Almost no one makes it without professional and/or group support.

Use a search engine to look up “12 steps”. It’s a place to start.
