Stop the Chaos

In Stop the Chaos: How to Motivate Yourself in the Battle Against Alcohol and Drugs, author Allen Tighe has created a practical, effective self-help guide to recovery for those who suspect they, a family member, or friend have a problem with alcohol or other drugs--and want to do something about it. Beginning with an awareness-raising exploration of addiction and its symptoms, Stop the Chaos helps readers decide whether a problem with alcohol or other drugs exists, and, if so, how serious it is.
The remainder of this guide delves into the many issues addicts must address, such as the importance of reaching out for help; dealing with high-risk situations, loneliness, and cravings; confronting self-defeating behaviors; and preventing relapse.

Based on the valuable experiences of people in recovery the sensible and pragmatic advice found in Stop the Chaos: How to Motivate Yourself in the Battle Against Alcohol and Drugs can help anyone in recovery find the firm footing of new, positive habits and ways of living. Realistic scenarios depict challenging situations every recovering individual faces-living environment, friends who still use, family, and the need for help and how to find it, and provide proven techniques for successful recovery that are easy to understand and that can be applied immediately in your own life.
