Summary
This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all-encompassing and ubiquitous, that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it. What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what? My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame.
The program in Recovery has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions, and it will do the same for you.
This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Everyone should read this book
This book was heartbreaking, uplifting and inspiring at the same time. I'd been looking forward to its release and it didn't disappoint. Although I wouldn't consider myself an additct in the obvious junkie/alcoholic way, I've always felt that something was missing. Russell makes you consider how you live your life and your drives in ways I haven't heard before, even though I've read a number of self help/yoga/meditation books. I don't think he gets the credit he's due for trying to change people's life for the better. I'm glad he's found happiness with his new wife as well.
Narration added nuance that may be missed in reading the book.

My epiphany. The end of my 10y battle to stop.
Brilliantly written Russell is a genius. Love his interpretation of the 12 steps. I get it now!!! Not drank since and the difference this time.... I don't even want to! I feel free and in control I am giving life a try. I want to give Russell a hug for giving me my life back!

I hate it when I’m wrong
I thought Russell Brand was a complete knob and it turns out the man is bloody phenomenal. The unflinching honesty, searing self observation and the wry, swashbuckling use of language he applies to his experience of addiction and recovery is authentic and riveting, and it really touched me.

Brilliant book
As an addict in active recovery, this book helped me refocus on the areas of my life that still need work. That will always need work.
It's honest, captivating, worthwhile and I recommend to fellow addicts wholeheartedly.
Thanks Russell.

GREAT LISTEN
I loved this book and I loved Russell's narration. It is honest and I found it comforting to hear someone else speak out loud about what we all sometimes feel. Ironically, I think I will keep listening to this book over and over! He is so honest about himself and his life and I find that a very generous act. After listening to this it is impossible to ignore your own feelings and behaviour. I think this book could be a comfort to anyone who has anxiety, because ultimately I think that is the cause of a lot of addictive behaviour. I would like to think he would go on to narrate more books - he has great communication.

R. I'm so proud of you.
this book was so much more than I expected it to be. it's educational but it's also funny and warm. so warm. so relatable. I've cried zkot through it. relief, sadness. it all. chapter 5 ending was particularly hard to listen to. I haven't slept because I needed to hear it.
I printed off 5 copies of the work books to take along to some people. I have a PDA in addictions counselling and the workbook is so much better than any other one I seen.

Great book
I liked the links with existentialism. A very honest account of your experience, very inspiring.

Enjoyable
Very well narrated, but you need to go to his website for parts, (e.g. interactive elements of the 12 steps)

truly special
amazing. I struggled with the aa. I got lost at step 4 and quit, I went back and tried again but I was. too busy to do the work. I thought I could do it my way but I know that is my fundamental problem so after listening to someone as famous as Russell speak out so openly and honestly I am going to find another group and start again. incredible how I laughed put loud through most of this audio book. thank you Mr Brand.
