I think this book might be helpful to you if you struggle with drug or alcohol addiction (although the advice that 12 steps is good and don’t have your drug of choice in the house is pretty basic). For people struggling with compulsive behavior with other things that can’t be avoided, like food, sex, the internet, and video games, the author offers very little helpful advice. I also STRONGLY recommend avoiding this book if you struggle with self-injury, because the author almost encourages it? I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a very baseline exploration of how addiction works.
