Dr. Sandra Rasmussen: Author of Ready, Set, Go! Addiction Management for People in Recovery

Today, millions of Americans are facing an epidemic of addiction. Alcohol, opiates, stimulants, and gambling have become common, with as many as one in four families searching for a way to recover their lives. These patterns include other behavioral issues, including screen time, sexual behaviors, compulsive eating, and shopping.

As we search to numb or solve our internal experience with addictive behavior patterns, the impacts can worsen, adding depression, anxiety, health, or even legal concerns.

With decades of experience, Dr. Martz helps guide the reader to understand the process of addiction and make a change. In this book you will find:

• How the brain tricks us and how to take control of it

•The stages of addiction and implications of each

• Understanding our "Why" and how to use it

• The five key approaches to make lasting change in our insight, vision, emotions, beliefs, and values

• Special sections on trauma, goal-setting, and cross-addictions

•Guidance on how to find a counselor that’s a good fit for you

If you want to stay the same, this book is not for you. If you are ready for something more, read on. Start now to change your life.
