"There is only one way to beat cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, nicotine and other chemical addictions and that way requires: the desire to quit, a plan of action and effot. The White Book contains an effective plan developed by a recovered cocaine addict who used the methods in this book to overcome his own addiction. Also included is valuable insight and information for the parents and other loved ones of the addict who wish to play a positive role in recovery. Since 'denial of the problem' is a major characteristic of addiction their help is necessary."--From cover.
