You are in a nightmare that turned out to be reality; you desperately want to get out of it alive to start over. This is that kind of a book. It is about getting off and staying off drugs and getting a new start in life, but what it offers will benefit anyone in search of a fulfilling life with meaning.

Based on the best scientific evidence, the book makes clear how drug addiction - taking drugs and acting like an addict - arises from the addicted brain altered and diseased by repeated drug exposure and by incorporating drug experience and memories into that part of our brain outside our consciousness, making it impossible for the addict not to not use drugs. It's an extreme take-over so that using drugs becomes the only thing the addicted brain concerns itself with.

The book explains how this happened and offers step-by-step guidance on how to undo the process and start over. It is like someone coming alongside the lost traveler, pointing out where the traveler went off track and got lost, and guiding the traveler back on track to the intended journey.

It does all this without finding fault with the traveler; just tell it like it is. What really happens when you get lost and how to get out alive.
