Passages, in Malibu, California, is the world's most successful addiction cure center. The Alcoholism and Addiction Curecontains the three-step holistic program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of Passages. In this revolutionary book, you will learn:
The three steps to permanent sobriety
How to create a personalized, holistic treatment program to completely cure your dependency
The four causes of dependency
How your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery
How to stimulate your body's self-healing potential to be forever free of dependency
"Freedom from dependency starts with understanding that alcohol, drugs, and addictive behaviors are not the real problems," says Chris Prentiss, cofounder of Passages Addiction Cure Center. "Alcohol, street drugs, nicotine, prescription medications, food binging, gambling, and the like are merely the substances or behaviors you or your loved ones are using to cope with the real problems—anything from deep emotional pain, ill health, or depression to hypoglycemia, a sluggish thyroid, or brain-wave pattern imbalances. Once the underlying problems are discovered and cured, the need for drugs, alcohol, or addictive behavior will disappear—along with the craving."
Prentiss should know. His son Pax was addicted to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol for ten years. They sought help everywhere, but Pax relapsed again and again. In desperation, they finally created their own holistic, hand-tailored program that was a complete break from all other programs and that combined several effective therapies. It saved Pax's life. Together, father and son founded Passages to help others find their own freedom.
For decades, we've been hearing that alcoholism and addiction are incurable diseases, but The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure proves that this is a dangerous myth and that the label of "alcoholic" or "addict" destroys the promise of full recovery. Today, thousands are being freed from the old, limiting paradigms by using the groundbreaking approach spelled out in this book. A visionary and an innovator, Chris Prentiss brings new hope to people everywhere who are dependent on drugs, alcohol, or addictive behaviors.
The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure will show you how to end relapse, end your craving, end addictive behavior, and end your suffering.

"An excellent resource for anyone dealing with addictions or trying to understand their life. It will help you to define yourself and your problem in a way that will empower you and end any victim mentality. It is written in a style that is easy to understand and learn from because it is written by natives: people who have lived the message....This book contains the information that can start you on the road to recovery." —Bernie Siegel, M.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Medicine & Miracles
"A critically important and thoroughly 'reader friendly' instructional guide to recovery from alcoholism or addictions to other drugs or substances....The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure is a core addition to personal, professional, substance abuse treatment center, and community library health and medicine reference collections and reading lists." —Midwest Book Review
"This thought-provoking book causes any reader to closely examine their life. One of its premises is that it isn't the alcohol or drugs that are the problem; rather, it is usually a person's physical, mental or emotional imbalance that the substances seem to alleviate. If a person can identify the imbalance and heal it, then the drugs and alcohol are no longer lusted after….I highly suggest this book for anyone who wants to be cured or assist a loved one in finding their own cure!" —Natural Beauty & Health
"The years of fine-tuning the [Passages] program with cutting-edge holistic healing therapies has resulted in this excellent book. I heartily recommend it to all, especially to those who have friends who have addictions." —ReverseSpins.com
"It was the cure rate that got my attention, and triggered my skepticism…along with a tiny sliver of hope since I knew how many times friends and members of my own family had fallen off the wagon….I read the entire book and called the PR representative back and booked Chris for the entire show. I think what hooked me was Chris's comment about observing an AA meeting where people were 'white knuckling their way through sobriety.' Controversial statement. And true for too many. The book was specific about the path: Find the underlying cause(s). Work on that. The true story of his son's journey was engaging and encouraging. For weeks and months after the show, I received emails and phone calls from listeners: 'What was the name of that guy again? What's the name of his book?' Of all the shows and topics I have covered in 17 years on air, I have never received such a response." —Laurie S. Reilly,Former Clear Channel Radio Talk Show Host and Producer
"You can't argue with their success rate. It is the program on which all future treatment centers should be patterned." —Dr. Alan Blanc, psychiatrist
"An excellent guide and resource book for anyone dealing with addiction, either for themselves or their families/friends….The program offers fresh hope to many for whom conventional treatments have not worked.” —Yoga & Health (Great Britain)
