Millions of people have embarked on a Twelve-Step Program, whether its Alcoholics Anonymous, Nicotine Anonymous, or Alateen. However, there are millions of others who are unable or unwilling to accept these programs because of religious overtones or a rigid approach to recovery.Deepak Chopra and David Simon contend that Twelve-Step methods dont work for everyone because they emphasize personal powerlessness; its this admission of powerlessness that keeps many people from ever truly healing. In Freedom from Addiction, Chopra and Simon offer a new way-a proven method based on the program at the renowned Chopra Center in Carlsbad, California. Combining the best of eastern and western medicine, they teach readers how to cleanse their bodies and minds through nutrition, supplements, and meditations, and they walk readers through their 7-Step Framework:1. Commit to transformation2. Commit to ending repeat mistakes3. Face the harsh reality of the past4. See the infinite possibilities available in the present moment5. Envision where you want to be6. Ask yourself what choices need to be made to actualize vision7. Create an action plan
