Filling The Void: How To Overcome Addiction

By Christopher Knippers

After over 30 years in the field of addiction recovery treatment,psychologist Dr. Christopher Knippers began to be curious about the common factors of people who have successful lives and are able to remain sober after treatment, vs.those who appear to be successful during treatment only to relapse just a few months or years later. He decided to begin interviewing people from 21 to 85 years of age who are from various socioeconomic levels and life styles who had suffered from very severe Substance Use Disorders, yet remained sober, productive, and happy for more than 3years. All of them had also suffered significant mood disorders in addition to addiction.He discovered that they all had 7 factors in common according to their own experiences in finding success in their recovery; and that they had all learned to fill that "void" in life that all of us experience from time-to-time. Dr. Christopher presents this research in a very understandable manner, and gives the reader a road map to follow in their own journey to health, happiness and fulfillment. This book is ideal for people who wrestle with addiction of any type (substances or behaviors), and for family and friends of addicts. You will gain valuable insight into addiction, human nature, and yourself.
