Product Description
by Joseph Sharp (Author)
UPDATED "2018 EDITION" -- Drawing upon the wisdom and experiences of recovered addicts and recovery professionals, "Quitting Crystal Meth" is a concise handbook that explains what you'll experience during the first year of recovery from crystal methamphetamine. It is a no-nonsense how-to manual written by a recovered meth addict for the addict who wants to quit. Joseph Sharp explains, "I wrote the book I wished I'd had when I was trying to quit-a straightforward manual that would give me some idea of what to expect and better my chances at quitting ice forever." Quitting Crystal Meth is divided along the five stages of meth recovery, including the chapters: "Withdrawal (day 0 to 15)," "The Honeymoon (day 16 to 45)," "The Wall (6 weeks to 4 months)," "Adjustment (months 4 to 6)," "Ongoing Recovery (months 6 to 12)" and "A Year and Beyond." Additional chapters look at "Crystal Meth Anonymous Meetings - What It's All About" and "What About Relapse?" Upbeat and positive, QUITTING CRYSTAL METH: WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO DO approaches the reader with respect and the disease of addiction with dignity.
