For anyone trying to overcome an addiction, living with someone with an addiction, or helping someone with an addictionÂ
As most drug and alcohol addicts eventually realize, good intentions alone aren't enough to break destructive habits. However, addiction can be managed once its true nature is understood. This simple yet profound guidebook takes you step-by-step through the process of building a life after addiction by adopting new behaviors that create lasting change. An internationally renowned psychiatrist, neurologist, and addiction specialist, Dr. Walter Ling has worked with thousands of addicts, their loved ones, and fellow clinicians. His no-nonsense, no-judgment approach, which he calls the "neuroscience of common sense", advocates holistic methods to prevent relapse and establish new patterns to create a sustainable, meaningful life.

"Dr. Ling has written an extremely useful and user-friendly book for everyone on the topic of addiction. Whether you are currently suffering from an addiction, are in recovery from an addiction, or a family member wondering why an addict/alcoholic acts the way they do, Dr. Ling explains in layman's terms what addiction is all about, why and how it happens, and how to recover from it.
In this book, Dr. Ling gives what I consider to be the best, most straight-forward and easy to understand explanation of addiction as a chronic brain disease which makes it unique among other chronic diseases. He explains how addiction forms, how it takes over a person's life (most of the time to their complete unawareness of it) and why it is so hard to "just stop". However, all is not lost. Dr. Ling's tone and presentation are very uplifting and motivational as he explains the process of recovery and with each step of the way, he gives hope and encouragement and shows how it can (and has been) done.
Being in and around recovery from addiction for over 30 years, and having read countless books on this subject, I can honestly say Dr. Ling has done a great service to the community by de-mystifying the process and giving hope to addicts and family members alike. This is a must have resource in your journey of recovery."

Mastering the Addicted Brain Building a Sane and Meaningful Life to Stay Clean Audible Audio Edition Walter Ling Alan I Leshner Brent Hirose New World Library Books Reviews
- A clearly written, straightforward, and insightful book to assist those facing addiction problems themselves or those who have loved ones battling this brain disease. The book reads quickly and can be finished in just a few hours. However, the book is meant to be a starting point for further self reflection and improvement. Once you finish reading it through one time, tuck it away in your bag or back pocket to pull out when you're sitting idling somewhere instead of staring blankly at your phone. Re-reading any of the short-chapters will reveal nuggets of wisdom to ponder and consider. Dr. Ling gently encourages the reader to pause and think about how to build a sane and meaningful life and does so without being overly preachy or denying that relapse prevention or "staying clean" is a constant uphill climb. However, his tone perfectly combines gentle authority, common sense, and medical/scientific know-how to make the reader feel supported in their journey toward better health. Highly recommend, it's superb!

This is a must have resource in your journey of recovery. - I have been clean and sober for about 5 months now thanks to a 12 step program and resources like this book. It helped me understand why 12 step programs work and beyond that, the importance of living a full, balanced life. It approaches addiction from a physiological stance as well as cultural and spiritual. I plan to keep re-reading it as part of my self care.
- As a parent of an alcoholic i found this book to be very informative. I had ordered several books based on reviews i read and i was relieved this book was not bogged down with technical terms and gave some practical useful advice. I would recommend this as ONE book to read about alcohol addiction.
- My colleagues in recovery found unique insights in Dr. Ling's short book. One of the few opioid books that recognizes spirituality without the god baggage.
- Wonderful book! Very helpful in understanding and easy to put into practice for recovery. Order now, don’t put it off another day!
- What an incredibly wonderful read! Everyone should read and gift this book to the people they Love!
- A rare book written by the father of modern day addiction medicine. The conversational style allows the reader to fully enjoy and appreciate Dr. Ling's intellect, humor and wisdom.
