As an eleven-year-old child in a family ravaged by alcoholism, Susan Powter was one of the youngest members of Alanon. In recent years she has had to confront this disease in herself. With the same fierce determination that took her on a journey to understand and cure her own obesity in her first bestseller, "Stop The Insanity", she set out to find the answers to her own alcoholism. In "Sober... and Staying That Way", Susan Powter shares her discovery of a vitamin-based nutrition program that has yeilded an 80% recovery rate. By combining this treatment with other crucial components-- overcoming the shame associated with the disease, healthy eating, exercise, and education-- Powter devised a program that cured her and will work for millions of others. With "Sober... and Staying That Way", you will be able to: Make the connection between alcoholism and disease Make the connection between politicts, profit, powerful lobbyists, and your sobriety Heal the damage caused by alcoholism Wipe out the morality, weakness-of-will, and powerlessness thinking of current recovery programs At once a personal story, an expose, and a program for lasting recovery, "Sober... and Staying That Way" isn't just for alcoholics. It is for everyone who wants to participate in the solution to a problem that affects us all.
