Willpower’s Not Enough:
Recovering from Addictions of Every Kind
by Arnold Washton, Ph.D., and Donna Boundy, M.S.W.

SUMMARY

Willpower’s Not Enough is for anyone who wants to know more about addictions--and how to break free from them.  Many people think that what the addict needs is willpower, but nothing could be further from the truth: When a person has already lost control over a drug or activity, attempts to control its use almost never work.  Because the source of addiction isn’t the drug or activity itself but a desire for a mood changer, successful recovery means ultimately changing the way we live, giving up the addictive lifestyle.  Willpower’s Not Enough will show you how to change your lifestyle and to recover from your addiction.
