For decades youve been told that addiction is an irreversible disease, a biological force over which you have no control. That defeatist message not only is without scientific foundation, but actually prevents your overcoming addiction.
Now, world-renowned addiction expert Stanton Peele demystifies addiction and offers a groundbreaking program that puts at your disposal what does work in treatment and recovery. For four decades, Dr. Peele has challenged our understanding of addiction and recovery. He has developed approaches that break the cycle of addiction and empower us to take control of our lives--including understanding that we are able to direct our own brains to change. In Recover! Dr. Peeles PERFECT Program takes you through the key concepts of mindfulness--that is, your ability to detach from your addictive experience and to see that it is not who you are--combined with the Buddhist idea of loving kindness, or self-acceptance. Its an easily grasped, yet multifaceted program that allows your true self to overcome your addictive urges.
Instead of focusing on whats wrong with you, the PERFECT Program will help you discover, embrace, and build your recovery on whats already right about you. Combining the best evidence-based treatments with the mindful use of meditation, Recover! presents a life-transforming philosophy for freeing yourself from addiction forever.

PRAISE FOR RECOVER!

Recover! goes well beyond brainless, mindless, and choiceless approaches to addiction. Dr. Stanton Peeles work offers hope for mindful, practical, and liberating addiction treatment and self-help.Harold J. Bursztajn, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Co-Founder, Program in Psychiatry and the Law at BIDMC Psychiatry of Harvard Medical School

Stanton Peeles insistence that addiction is not a disease, but a symptom of dysfunctional societies, families, and/or psyches is compelling, compassionate, and almost certainly correct. In Recover!, his most impressive work to date, he lays out a programboth utterly simple and profoundthat will quite literally save lives by addressing the root causes of addiction rather than pathologizing its many manifestations.Christopher Ryan, Ph.D. & Cacilda Jeth, M.D., authors of the New York Times bestseller Sex at Dawn

12-step treatment worsened my addiction to the point that I nearly died of withdrawal. Stanton Peeles books saved my life by showing me that I was not powerless and did not need to be rescued by a Higher Power. For a step-by-step guide on how to overcome addiction I most highly recommend Dr. Peeles new book Recover!Kenneth Anderson, M.A., Founder and CEO of HAMS Harm Reduction for Alcohol

In Recover!, Stanton Peele and Ilse Thompson offer a blueprint to help addicts cope with their triggers, from loneliness and feeling unworthy, anxious, and overwhelmed. Recover! focuses on whats right in the addicts life, and adding to it. Its a hopeful, tangible set of tools designed to give power back to the addictnot give it up.Gabrielle Glaser, author of the New York Times bestseller Her Best-Kept Secret: Why Women DrinkAnd How They Can Regain Control

I am a recovering addict was the way someone introduced himself to me on my first visit to the USA. He explained he had been in recovery for the past 25 years. The irrationality, helplessness and disempowerment inherent in this statement shocked me. This is what the disease model of addiction does to people. I am in agreement with Stanton Peele that people are not powerless or helpless in the face of dependence on drugs, and the evidence supports this view. This book dispels that, and other myths about drugs. Stanton has come up with another must-read book.Professor Pat OHare, co-founder and former director of Harm Reduction International

In his latest book, Recover!, pioneering addiction expert Dr. Stanton Peele moves on to exciting new ground by providing practical advice and tools for dealing with addiction, based on Buddhist-inspired mindfulness techniques. It is essential reading for those who want to understand the reality of addiction and ways it can be effectively addressed. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to move on from their own addiction or is supporting someone else to overcome their addiction.Julian Cohen, author of Drugs and Young People: Essential Information and Advice for Parents and Professionals

Stanton Peeles writing has been a Copernican paradigm shift in the field of recovery. With his Diseasing of America, Peele emerged as a savvy provocateur with the guts to take on the recovery establishment. With Recover! Peele shares his clinical wisdom and compassion with those who are on the path of change and self-acceptance. Recover! is a recovery program of practical perfection without the typical recovery perfectionism.Pavel Somov, Ph.D., author of Lotus Effect and Eating the Moment: 141 Mindful Practices to Overcome Overeating One Meal at a Time

Recover! is a powerful new tool for helping people with addictions heal and grow. Dr. Stanton Peele is a trailblazer who has led each new progressive wave in the addictive behaviors field since the 1970s. Today, Dr. Peele is a leading voice for a new shift in the field, one that refutes the myth that addicted people are victims of a permanent disease that they can arrest only by accepting their powerlessness and lifelong abstinence. Recover! is a how-to guide to recovery through cultivating mindful awareness and self-compassion. Inspiring, hopeful, and a good read as well.Andrew Tatarsky, Ph.D., author, Harm Reduction Psychotherapy: A New Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Problems; Director, Center for Optimal Living, NYC

In the midst of the turbulence about defining and dealing with addiction, Stanton Peele has consistently articulated one of the few sane voices. Increasingly, research has proved that he is right. Recover! continues and extends his presence at the forefront of advice and help based on common sense and efficacy for those struggling with addiction.Liese Recke, Manager of Clinical Treatment, Oslo Norway, and former addict

Probably the worlds most notable figure in addiction studies, Stanton Peele has written another great book. Recover! really is a self-help book. Unlike most of what you read, it teaches you to help yourself, rather than telling you to rely on a treatment system because helping oneself is impossible. Stantons work assisted my recovery many years ago, and he can help you now.Peter Ferentzy, Ph.D., author of Dealing with an Addict: What You Need to Know if Someone You Care for Has a Drug or Alcohol Problem

Stanton Peele knows more about addiction than anyone in the world. Every one of his books is a masterpiece. So is this one. The materials in this book are factual, inspiring and helpful for anyone making for change on their own. If you need additional help, take this book to a good therapist. Ask them to help you apply Peeles materials. You will be very happy with the results!Robert M. Muscala, R.N., Addiction/Chemical Health Specialist, Minnesota

Peele offers mindful alternatives to those suffering from addictions and to professionals seeking to help them.Ellen Langer, Department of Psychology, Harvard University; author of Mindfulness and Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility

Diseasing of America is a provocative review of the uses and abuses of the disease model in the past three decades. This important book has significantly added to my education and clinical understanding of addiction in my professional practice.Richard R. Irons, M.D., FASAM, the Menninger Clinic
