The believe this book is going to change the world, because it's changing my life. For the first time ever, I understand the truth about my addictions and how to cure them. While every other treatment center views alcoholism and addiction as an incurable disease, The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure says drugs are not the core problem, but merely the substances we use to help us cope with our real problems-- which the book calls underlying conditions.

There are only four types of underlying conditions, the book says. Once they are discovered and cured, our need for drugs and alcohol will disappear, along with our cravings. Until we identify and root them out, which the book explains how to do, we continue to self medicate.
The book gives a great example saying "Suppose you had a chronic itch and scratched it regularly throughout the day--would you be a scratchaholic? More important, if you sought treatment for your ailment, would you be treated for scratchism?"

This book is so well written, the stories so fascinating and the ideas so life changing that after I spontaneously read a paragraph to my wife, she made me continue reading her the entire book aloud every night since she didn't want to wait until I was finished before she started it.
Chris Prentiss, the author says he discovered the cure to any kind of addiction in a desperate fight to save the life of his own son, a long time heroin addict. Based on his insights and discoveries, Chris founded Passages, apparently the world's most successful substance abuse treatment center.

I especially like it that Chris wrote The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure to help those who didn't have the money to go to his treatment center. This book is giving me hope. It's giving me back my integrity. It's giving me answers. For the first time ever, I feel fully empowered to address my addictions and take back my life. If you have addictions of any kind, this book is the ultimate "fix" for you.



Hi Chris,

I wanted you to know that today is 6 months without a drop of alcohol. Where AA did not work for me, as I tried it many times in my desperate search for alcohol addition, your book “Alcohol and Addiction Cure” not only works but has changed my life for the positive. My wife, my family, my friends, and everyone I would run into as a drunk thanks you for my sobriety. Your book is a life changer. I am so fortunate to have read it before I lost everything.

Thanks,
Jim H.



"I am from the New Jersey / New York area. I am a LCADC and have been working in the addiction field for the past 24 years. I was addicted to heroin, cocaine, etc. for many years prior to starting a career in treatment. Reading your philosophy and treatment methods of addiction were so welcomed. Your "story" renewed the energy that has been dormant in me for some time. My wish is the "one size fits all treatment philosophy" becomes a thing of the past. You have a supporter here on the east coast."



"I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have just finished your wonderful book on alcoholism and addiction. I have been waiting for this for a very long time. I believe you guys have indeed created a new way of thinking for all of us with addiction problems."



"This letter is motivated by a deep appreciation of your book: The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: Holistic Approach to Total Recovery. Pax’s chapter was heart-wrenching. Your book really opened my eyes to many aspects of addiction and just basic knowledge of the body’s chemistry. I have bought many copies to share with friends who are going through the pain of addiction, directly or indirectly."



"I'm delighted to have found you! I read about Chris in The Times (UK) and sent for his book right away. I'm halfway through in one sitting. It is totally fantastic. I am vibrating with certainty that I have found the right people at last. We have been 'on the case' for some time, and at last I feel I've found the right breadth and depth of approach where I've been frustrated before."



"I read your book some time ago. It was the most loving, hopeful information I’ve encountered."
