A fully updated and expanded edition of the essential guide, with a new foreword by Quit Like a Woman author Holly Whitaker.Revised and expanded, this tenth anniversary edition of Beyond Addiction eschews the theatrics of interventions and tough love to show family and friends how they can use kindness, positive reinforcement, and motivational and behavioral strategies to help their loved ones overcome addiction problems and compulsive behaviors.
