Summary: who cares why an addict drinks or takes drugs?
Comment: I'm watching CNN Sunday morning, and every commercial seems to be for this book, so I read up on it. It really doesn't matter why a person started drinking to excess - what matters is: don't take the first drink. Speculating about underlying causes is akin to having a poison arrow in your side that needs to be removed, and you are wasting time trying to decide who shot the arrow, who made the shaft, feathers, what kind of bow it was shot from etc. Meanwhile the poison is killing you. (Thanks to the Buddha for this metaphor). The first thing is: don't take the first drink!!

Summary: The best book ever written for addictive behaviors!
Comment: You know, I've never really swallowed the idea that alcoholism is a 'dis-ease' and that someone struggling with addiction is 'powerless' over anything...my husband has been battling addiction for 10 years and I've always believed that there was an underlying cause that made him want to 'medicate' himself but had never found any major supporter of the idea until this book was released. It's like an AH-HA moment for those of us that believe in our own power. I've fought for years with my husband's fellow 'recovering addicts'; some of which have been sober for 15 years, that it's a choice, not an illness. When someone offers you that drug, bottle of beer, or whatever tool you've used, you have the choice to say 'yes, I'll take it' or 'no, thank you.' To me it's always been that simple...so you are NOT powerless...you HAVE the power to say yes or no. This book opened up the realm of self power to let me (and my husband) take back the responsibility for his actions...which, in itself, has begun the healing process; he's no longer a 'victim' of a dis-ease. We can't afford a place like Passages, nor can we afford all of the healers that they recommend; however, the mind is the MOST powerful of all healers and we have the power to heal ourselves once our plane of thinking has been opened. WE WILL SUCCEED!
I highly recommend this book to ANYONE that has been to AA but does not feel confident with its "give it to God" concept of lack of self-control; for you are the ones that 'know' deep down inside that there's more to this than a diagnosis of a dis-ease. READ THIS BOOK! Then continue on your path to soul search and find that hidden hurt that's taken you to this place. Set yourself free.
I am truly grateful to these two men for writing and publishing this book. They are true angels.

Summary: The brilliant and shocking truth~
Comment: This book and the Passages Malibu Program are awesome. Chris Prentiss along with his Son Pax have the guts to stand up and speak out about the miserable failures of the old paradigm of alcohol and drug treatment programs. Their program is a bold step forward into the treatment of addictions and self sabbotaging behavior. There will be the old detractors who will scream from the mountain tops that this book and it's ideas are heresy, but that's because the old 12 Step model of addiction being a disease has now been proven false and people are getting cured and free from the recovery cults.

Summary: Can be costlu
Comment: I really think that this program can work, but with all of the counselors and Psycologists that are required, this is a very costly process.

Summary: Chris Prentiss the Saint
Comment: I think that this book does a great job convincing people that addiction is caused by escaping from unresolved painful issues, not from the drug itself. The addiction to the drug Chris calls it dependency that can be dissolved within 3 weeks to 90 days. The story of his son is heartbreaking and is proof that Chris Prentiss is a saint and holy man. Thank God, for the people in the world trying to bring more joy and reduce the pain a person has to go through in a lifetime. I think this book will work better with some additional readings on eastern philosophy, which seems to be the foundation of Chris's personal faith.

The Passages recovery method offers hope with an entirely different approach from those of other treatments: at Passages, alcohol and drugs are never the problem, but the solutions chosen by alcoholics and addicts to cope with underlying conditions. This is a practical, informed stepbystep protocol for uncovering and treating the core causes of alcoholism and addiction. Once the real problems are uncovered and treated, the substance abuse disappears. Listeners will learn how to select a competent physician to support recovery, and what to avoid when someone needs help with addiction or alcoholism. Traditional recovery centers have a relapse rate of over 90%. Passages, on the other hand, has an 84% success rate. Passages' holistic method offers total recovery from addiction and shows how to heal the underlying causes of addiction, prevent relapse and end suffering.
