About this listen
Healing the Addicted Brain is a breakthrough work that focuses on treating drug and alcohol addiction as a biological disease - based on the Recovery Science program that has helped thousands of patients defeat their addictions. It combines the best behavioral addiction treatments with the latest scientific research into brain functions, providing tools and strategies designed to overcome the biological factors that cause addictive behavior along with proven treatments and medications.
Using this scientific approach, you will learn to conquer the physical factors that keep people tied to drug and alcohol addiction. The proven fact is that addiction is not a moral failing or an issue of not having enough willpower. It is a disease of the brain that can and must be treated like other chronic medical illnesses - such as diabetes, hypertension, or asthma - in order to defeat the disease.
This revolutionary program can triple the success rate of patients, from 20-30% to 90%.
There is hope. By understanding addiction and using 21st-century breakthroughs, for the first time drug and alcohol addiction can be, and will be, defeated.

Judith Grisel was a daily drug user and college dropout when she began to consider that her addiction might have a cure, one that she herself could perhaps discover by studying the brain. Now, after 25 years as a neuroscientist, she shares what she and other scientists have learned about addiction.

What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

And I have a tale to tell. It's about the despair of addiction and the absolute certainty that it can be overcome. Recovery is not simply abstinence, but a process of growing up. I spent my entire life searching for the key to long-term sobriety. I would like to share with you what I have learned.

A shy, bookish college graduate from a solid middle-class home, Kate Holden was uncertain of her way in life. When she decided to try her first hit of heroin, she did not anticipate that the drug would take over. Desperation drove her first to offer her body on the streets and then in high-class brothels, where she discovered hidden strengths as well as parts of herself that frightened her. With the acceptance and unyielding love of a family that never abandoned her, Kate Holden ultimately defeated the drug and left her netherworld behind.

Story
To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: confusing self-concern with selfishness; not making amends; using the program to try to become perfect; not getting help for relationship troubles; and believing that life should be easy. Allen Berger explores the 12 most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

Outstanding and enlightening
Good narration. The comprehensiveness of this book astounded me! I learned many many new facts about impulse control, relapse prevention and precisely how to handle family dynamics with diplomacy and firmness. So glad I chose to have a listen. I never realized that one can be an alcoholic and be in denial about it. The damage alcohol does to the brain and body overall is devastating. Really appreciate this book. Quite an eye opener!

Great resource for recovery support.
This book is written for both those recovering from addiction and their supporting family/friends. I've been on the journey of recovery more than a year and got new ideas and perspective from every section of the book. My only complaint is the heavy focus on 12-step groups, which aren't for everyone. There's great alternatives to NA/AA out there.

Helps you understand what addicted person feels
I've gained a lot of insight on how addicted person feels like. Probably the most important information for me was that addicted brain is literally broken and it's not up to good will of addicted person to act appropriately. Also I like that there were many recommendations on how to handle certain emotions. I didn't like the fact that links to resources aren't valid. Unfortunately all this knowledge didn't help the person I wanted to help. Therapies and my attempts to explain and help aren't enough. Also medicines recommended in this book are really expensive in my country.
