About this ebook

Addiction is a common, progressive disease. We can all experience mild addiction! If allowed to go unchecked, a mild addiction progresses into chronic, relapsing addiction – a lifelong disease in its truest sense, with physical changes occurring within the brain, and symptoms that are often intense, destructive, and difficult to live with.

A well-informed approach to exercise can be our most effective line of defence in the battle against addiction!

In this book, you will learn the personality traits that most commonly lead to addiction. You will learn to recognize them in yourself and in others. Most importantly of all, you will learn how to deploy the timeless power of exercise to serve as our most effective self-regulating mechanism in the battle against addiction. In effect, this book will teach you how to treat addiction with exercise, but it goes even further than that...

... It is an action plan for your mental health.
