A companion for people who want to free themselves from unhealthy habits and behaviors.   Physical and emotional stress can make us vulnerable to addictions of all kinds, as we use mood altering substances like drugs and alcohol—or unhealthy habits like overeating, gambling, and compulsive shopping—as an attempt to cope. While addictions can take many forms, the underlying struggles are the same, and overcoming them takes wisdom, not just willpower.   This book is a valuable resource that offers effective strategies and insights to manage unwanted habits and compulsive behaviors—to help you choose healthier ways to cope with life.
