Books from Answering Addiction

 Below are the books written by David Sutton, the founder of Answering Addiction.  

There are two ways of learning recovery, or anything else for that matter. Make all the mistakes yourself and hope you learn from your blunders, or find out what other people have done. If your only learning from your mistakes, your only learning error. One more wrong way to do something. Why not take what other people have learned and build on it. For a small investment of your time and a little money, you can gain from 40 years of recovery experience written about in this book. If you have had in your life “bad drinking days”, trust me when I tell you “the worst drinking days are the ones ahead of you”. Why not put an end to this addiction cycle before it destroys everything that is important to you? If you feel that you are never going to recover again; that the best days of your life are behind you, and recovery is impossible, I get it. At one point I had lost all hope for my future. In this book we talk about the benefit of finding “hopelessness”. If your addiction has brought you to a state of being hopeless, there is help for you. You think you have heard it all before, and there is nothing new, think again. This is not just the don’t drink and go to meetings message. There is a true pathway to permanent sobriety and a relationship with God. This book is written out my personal experience of 40 years of living a clean and sober life. I trust this material will be as meaningful, practical and life-changing to you, as it has been to thousands of people over the years. By the way…Welcome to your New Life.

My motivation in putting this book together is partly out of compassion and partly out of frustration. I have been to two memorial services this week. Both were overdose casualties, both had been in the program, and both left their families and friends reeling from the loss. My heart is touched by the grieving and my thoughts are vacillating between I guess you really have to want to get clean and sober, and what are we missing? The focus of this writing is to look again at this topic and try to offer some of what I have learned in my journey of recovery.

This book teaches the principles of recovery. The Principle Approach is an in-depth teaching of the foundational steps to obtain freedom from addiction. It is a combination of principles and real life-experience enhanced by the author’s great sense of humor. This text is a great tool for finding permanent recovery.

The companion guide for the Principal Approach.  A practical tool to process what you have learned.
