Alcoholism and addiction were once seen as a moral problem. Alcoholics and addicts were thought to be weak willed. Lacking self-will and self-control. Stigmatized as losers and bums that didn't have enough self-respect to just quit drinking and using.

Nowadays, we know addicts can't just quit being addicts. It's often impossible. People that suffer from addiction are usually the last ones to realize that they are sick and have a problem. Like any serious illness, a person with an addiction needs help to get better.

“End Your Addiction Now” helps you answer the question “Is Addiction Really a Disease?”, shows the stages of addiction, asks you to write down your drinking and using history in the notebook section, has you writing a Powerlessness Inventory, the financial cost, family inventory, friendships, spirituality, legal trouble, loss of control, relapse, choosing a sponsor, creating a relapse prevention plan, and answering lots of questions. The book ends with you listing virtues or positive values.

Ed Haych’s hope is that you get clean and sober and help others on their recovery journey. Though recovery may seem difficult and like a perpetual chore, you are encouraged to think in a new way about these changes. If you think of recovery as a burden, it most likely won't work for you.

When you view recovery as an amazing and wonderful adventure it will be just that. Once you begin to change and accept the support others are offering you is when you discover that your new life is so much better than your old life that you won't want to give it up.

As you start staying in balance it will no longer seem like something you are obligated to do, but something you will enjoy doing.

Reach out to others for strength, support, and encouragement. Have faith that everything that you need will be given to you.

Remember, don't quit before the miracle of recovery happens and certainly don't quit after the miracle happens.
