Drugs can be a tempting refuge for everyone—from school kids and housewives to stressed corporate executives and ex-hippies, all seeking enhanced experiences that everyday life fails to provide. These people use drugs because they make them feel good. The longer they take drugs, the harder it is to imagine life without them. Here, drawing on his long-term expertise in this area, Jost Sauer presents readers with a powerful, practical, step-by-step recovery regime and a wealth of case studies that deal with a whole range of issues to help people fully realize a life beyond drugs. Topics include what's really going on in psychotic episodes, how to handle the postdrug emotional roller-coaster, why raw foods hinder recovery, what forms of exercise work, and how to achieve natural highs.
