This course is a beginners course for addiction recovery from alcohol, drugs, food, anorexia, bulimia, debting, gambling and co-dependency sex and love addiction.
The course gives you the essential information to recover, and the steps you need to find the right 12 step programme and find the right mentor to guide you through the 12 steps.
With addictions taking me to kidney failure and near death, I then became a member of many 12 step programmes and now have over 9 years freedom from my primary addiction and live a life of freedom.
My hope is that the opportunity I found for a life free from the horrors of addiction will also be your path, starting with taking this course.
