MENTOR, Ohio - March 25, 2014 - PRLog -- SMART Recovery announces a new Special Events Webinar featuring Dr. Michael R. Edelstein, author of Three Minute Therapy. Dr. Edelstein will present “How to Overcome Addictions in One Lesson” on Saturday, April 12 2014 at 12:00 noon EDT.

This is a lesson for any harmful behavior – drugs, gambling, eating disorders, smoking, self-harm -- substance-related or not.  Bring your questions! We think you’ll find, as one book reviewer noted, that: “Michael Edelstein cuts through the psychological jargon and makes clear how all of us can effect powerful changes in our psyches, in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones.”
