Addiction From darkness to light

This book is a story of rebirth: four addicts, three men and one woman, who learn how to live without drugs and alcohol, one day at a time.

In order to escape addiction, they chose an American therapeutic method, the Minnesota Model. A method based on mutual aid that has been used for decades around the world with great success.

However, the method has yet to gain acceptance and become widespread in France, where the medical world has been unable to solve the problem of addiction.

Today, these four former addicts have become therapists, specialising in the field of addiction. Their goal: care for those who are suffering through the same ordeal that they had. Who better than an addict to help another addict overcome the evils of alcohol, prescription and illicit drugs, an behavioural addictions (work, gambling, screens, sport, food, sex), and get back on the path of life.

It is a powerful message of hope about a journey too often littered with failure, relapse, doubts and sometimes even suicidal thoughts. A metamorphosis founded upon spirituality, like a rite of passage, during which we learn the strength and determination of these men and women who all had believed they were doomed forever but who managed to rebuilt their lives, one day at a time.
