In his book, RADICAL RECOVERY: Twelve Recovery Myths: The Addiction Survivor's Guide To The Twelve Steps, Jack Kelly, CAP, NLP, LHMP, states: 'Addiction is a game ... a very old game, Russian Roulette, with new weapons: Pills, alcohol, and drugs.' We all know people who lost the game: Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse etc. You may have clients, friends, or family members who also lost the game. This is a must read if you have clients who are stuck on the Relapse Roller Coaster Ride, and want to stop playing Russian Roulette with their drug of choice. Kelly's passion about his work comes through in the book. The book has a very simple goal -- inspire, motivate, and empower alcoholics to become addiction survivors.
