About this listen
"The author blends theory and practice in direct, useful, and inviting ways. Inspiring quotations and takeaway messages abound. The format engages readers who eagerly anticipate next steps." (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 listener 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 who'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, listen to it. Start now to change your life.

2 days to listen to the entirety of this book
I am somewhat preemptive in writing this but after one evening of listening and note taking I am already halfway done. I am so completely absorbing the knowledge and insights this book has provided me. I am an addict and this book is truly helping me better understand this disease and is actually making me want to learn more and become a Recovery Counselor. Excellent read.

The reading is really hard to listen to
Unfortunately I could not get through this audiobook because it was too challenging to listen to the poor cadence of the reader. The reading was too slow as well. I could also hear the readers bodily functions like little air bubbles, swallowing and gurgles which was very distracting. I’m disappointed because I heard this was a great book and being a new mom I don’t have time to sit and read.
