Addicts Empowered to Quit With Launch of New Book

READING, U.K. - Nov. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- The latest figures on drug addiction from the on Global Drug Survey indicate that there are 230 million drug users across the world. In the United States, it is estimated that there are over 20 million current and former drug addicts. One European survey revealed that 6.7 out of every 1000 people individuals in the UK were problem drug users.

Written by Drug Addiction Specialist, Steve Lewis, Quit Your Addiction!: Easy to Follow Steps to Take Back Control of Your Life is a powerful resource written to provide addicts with a deeper understanding of the behaviour and motivation they need to quit.

Using his over 10 years of experience as an addiction worker at HMP Reading and other establishments, Steve outlines simple steps addicts can take to regain control of their life. Readers will be armed with insightful information including:

• Why it's not their fault they keep using drugs
• Why will power isn't enough
• How to identify triggers
• The biggest mistakes addicts make when dealing with cravings
• The main reason for relapse and what to do about it

When quizzed about the motivation to write the book, he said: "HMP Reading is perhaps most famous for The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde from his time in custody there; perhaps it was passing by Oscar’s cell on C Wing every day that inspired me to write a book. My hope is that this little book will give people freedom, not just in the sense of staying out of prison, but freedom from a life of addiction."

Quit Your Addiction!: Easy to Follow Steps to Take Back Control of Your Life is a life changing resource for individuals struggling with any type of addiction or problem behaviour. Moreover, those who care for someone with an addiction or have a spouse who has an addiction will also find the book very informative.

I would unreservedly recommend it to anyone with an addiction problem."
