Addiction and Recovery Rewired: A Science-Based Path to Sobriety: A Complete, Science-Based Program Integrating Neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Relapse Prevention for Substance and Behavioral Addictions

Willpower is not the answer. Design is everything.

If you or someone you love has tried to quit drinking, gambling, scrolling, or using—only to relapse again and again—you know the shame of being told to “just try harder.” But the real problem isn't your willpower. It's your brain.

Addiction and Recovery Rewired integrates the latest neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention engineering into a step‑by‑step program that works for both substance addictions (alcohol, opioids, cannabis) and behavioral addictions (gambling, pornography, gaming, social media, shopping).

You will discover:

Why your prefrontal cortex—the brain's CEO—gets hijacked and how to rebuild it.

The 15‑minute craving wave and how to surf it instead of fighting it.

A 2‑Minute Interruption Protocol to break the ritual of use before it starts.

How to design your home, phone, and daily routines so sobriety becomes the path of least resistance.

A week‑by‑week neurochemical roadmap for the first 90 days—and what to expect when anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) lasts longer.

Family dynamics: how to stop enabling, set a Non‑Negotiable Contract, and repair trust.

Why community is medicine and how to find your recovery tribe—whether in 12‑step, SMART Recovery, or online.

No more white‑knuckling. No more shame. Just a science‑based, compassionate path to a life you don't want to escape.

You don't quit an addiction. You replace it with a life worth staying sober for.
