This book did for me what four inpatient treatment centers could not. Once again, after 9 months of clean time, I found myself in the depth of my addiction but this time it was not only meth, but heroin as well. What was going to be “just one time” turned into a relapse that lasted 18 months. You know with every relapse comes knowledge and self-awareness, but it’s a double edge sword because with every relapse becomes more despair and hopelessness.

I found myself searching self-help books on addiction and came across this one. One review really stood out to me how this book is radical, completely extreme with some ideas that the reviewer did not agree with, but he swore it worked! When I read the concept was pretty much the author not believing in 12 step, treatment programs, nor God to get clean and he states “You are the one that got yourself into this mess, only you are going to be the one to get yourself out.” It hit me like a ton of bricks. That idea was extremely radical and coming from four inpatient treatment centers, a handful of IOPs, 12 steps, sponsors, trauma and mental health counselors, medication, even shock therapy to create aversions, I knew this was the answer. I knew it with every cell in my body. I kept using every day as it suggests in the book until that one day of my choosing that I decided and promised myself to never use meth again. When that day came, I had everything on the list to detox at home and I followed and hung on to every word the book says…

I always kind of days, weeks, months celebrated with recognition and this time I’m not. I don’t know how many days it’s been since I’ve been clean off meth and heroin call mom, but I didn’t know it was in February that that day came that I chose to be done. Since then, I have secured stable housing, I’ve reunited with my sisters and my father, I’ve got to see my four sons twice, and I’m actively petitioning for visitation and eventual custody. I was blessed with being able to get a Harley again (a better high than any drug ever gave me), a full-time job at the H-D dealership, self-respect, dignity, and this love and admiration for myself that I, let me repeat I, did it all on my own this time. No interventions, no treatment centers. Just me. I do believe that in the depths of my despair, God did put this book right in front of me, and I’m the one who chose to grab on and hang on as my life dependent on it.

To anyone that may be reading this who is still suffering in their meth addiction, I think about you everyday. There is hope. There is a beautiful life just waiting for you. All you have to do is believe in yourself enough to start reading this book. Until then we will all love you until you soon can start loving yourself.

When I found this book I was desperately looking for a way out of my addiction. I can honestly say that I’m not the same person I was when I first picked this book up. I am so grateful to have found this book and the program within it gave me hope and freedom from an addiction I’ve been struggling with for 8 years. This book does everything it promised and I would definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with a meth addiction who is looking for a way out. I haven’t touched the stuff nor had any real desire to since completing the program. Honestly I could go on and on so I’ll bring this to a close with this… Jay Hotrum, you are such an inspirational man and to put it simply you saved my life. So with all my heart, thank you. There were times I really felt like you wrote this just for me.

This book literally saved my life .. which is kinda funny to write but it honestly really did . If you are serious about quitting then read this book and don’t jump ahead! I was using every day for over 4 years and I am now 7 weeks clean! It was the Best purchase I could have ever done !

I must say this book was a BLESSING to discover and has the most practical, down to earth process for combating the devastating disorder of substance use. Its the first step before the first step and ABSOLUTLEY RECOMMEND for personal use as well as for any facility, sponsorships, and/or educational curriculums. THANK YOU !!!!!

It was heartening to see someone have the courage and conviction to stand up to many of the myths regarding the effectiveness of counseling, rehab, the medical “profession”, pharmaceutical companies, interventions, etc. It was even more heartening to read some of the other reviewers and find that even in this current climate of whiny cry babies that accept zero accountability, they were many who resonated with and were successful with his basic tenets that 1) it’s not a disease (cancer is a disease), so you are responsible 2) you are on your own and no one can or will do it for you, particularly doctors and drug counselors who are making bank on exorbitant priced rehab and stay in business as long as people relapse and the doctors hide their true motivations 3) While a 12 Step program has certainly helped some people, it is not necessary since it’s personal responsibility and accountability you rely on and not a Higher Power. I also appreciated the graphic art at the beginning of each chapter.

This book has amazing knowledge to aide in the quitting of chemical addiction!

The folks I’ve given this to says this writer knows exactly what he’s talking about -and it helped them kick Meth!

Not sure if you remember me I emailed you 14 years ago on the brink of suicide begging for help with meth addiction. You were bluntly honest not sugar coating anything. I’m happy to say I’m 14 years clean. I did enter a 30 day program but relapsed once before turning back to your response. It changed me & I’m forever grateful. Today my son is 19 & going to college for medical/psychology. My life isn’t perfect but at least it’s an honest one. I just happened to be cleaning out my nightstand when I came across my old poems/drawings with our email letters printed. Congratulations on your book & hope anyone struggling with an addiction has the power to quit & live a productive normal life. Thank you ❤

I quit meth on my own and actually came across this book after I was already clean for 6 months — I wish I had found it before as it would have made the process so much easier. Follow it to the letter and do everything the author suggests — he is really on to something here.

I really cannot stress how much this book makes sense and made my recovery possible. I have been trying ca and aa for the past year only to fail but this book is something else. I really got lost in the amazing way it is written and so to the point and i really feel it explains it perfect as well as giving a solution to my problem i have never found in other recovery methods. I just love it, best read ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED MY LIFE ❤

I got this on Kindle first because I saw next to no reviews. I’m telling u now, if you’re struggling with cocaine. GET THIS BOOK. It’s nothing groundbreaking if you’ve read RR but it’s a much better interpretation of the tools used in that book. The writer identifies with the reader (as an ex addict) and doesn’t beat about the bush in telling us that he basically can’t stand addicts. He basically tells you to stop thinking you know anything about recovery. Sit down. You’re the student. Just follow the instructions. It feels refreshing but not patronizing in any way. Why would it be patronizing? The writer got clean. He knows how to do it. The way the writer gets u to visualize the “list of pain” from RR is extremely powerful and his list of supplements that will help in the crash period is helpful. I got this free on kindle but i defo need a real copy now. Shocking how few reviews there are of this so mine hopefully makes u want to check it out. Put it this way……TRUST ME. GET IT.

Very good book. It helped me a lot and I believe it would help a lot of other people as well.

Very amazing and easy to read book it is very helpful for anyone that is serious about quitting the horrors of addiction step by step and easy to read I’ll recommend this book highly to anyone that struggles with the addiction or crack cocaine…

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024 I’ve been suffering from crack addiction since I was born! I’ve always thought my life would be so much better if I could just STOP my crack addiction. But, rehab did not help stop my cracking. I remember telling my addictions counselor is there just a book I can read to tell me what to do? And she agreed! Someone needs to write a manual to help all us crackees. Luckily my phone was by me enough during my consistent crack usage and the algorithm picked up this gem on my homepage. I was floored when I opened my Amazon and saw this. I obviously ordered it ASAP and it was still in stock! AGAIN FLOORED!!! This has me crack free. My husband really appreciates it. Thank you, so much. I’m free! I kicked the crack!!

I bought this book seeking an alternative to going to an expensive rehab. I highly suggest reading this book twice but leave the daily requirements alone until you are ready to quit. It has a 15-day detox which details everything to do, and it is all natural. I have been clean now for over 30 days, it has opened my eyes to a lot of things in my life that needed to change and would not have happened if I did not have a sober clarity on life. It is true you do turn into a Superhuman after you get off drugs. How ironic, you do these drugs to feel like one, but in the long run you are actually a zombie going through the motions, paranoia chains you to be the best in the future. The author Jay Hotrum has nailed it, and I can’t wait to see the other products he has coming out for everyone to experience this greatness of being sober. Thank you

Brilliant book recommended

Reviewed in Mexico on June 21, 2023

I loved the truth that the writer really knows what he is talking about, it is true that he speaks as if the book had only been written for me and he is helping me in my detoxification process at home without having an internment it is for people who really want to leave it and cannot and in my opinion it would not work for people who have no intention of leaving it and are forced by the family…

Translated from Spanish by Amazon

I have been “stuck” in addiction for 15 years, only the past year did I really start getting serious about changing it. 15 years a functioning addict, I knew it was only a matter of a time before I was no longer able to function, I’m on day 1, and I’ve tweaked the recommendations to better suite me but I’ve gotten the message loud and clear. The way it’s worded, empowers you and makes you truly feel like the author is speaking directly to you.
Thank you so much for your help.

I did it I made it 30 days sober!! I read this book front 2 back did every step and followed every direction you gave me and allot of useful advise I’ve been implementing daily. thank you so much it’s been almost 10yrs since I been sober and I do not miss one bit of it!! Thank you so much you saved my life!!!!

– I’ve listened to several books on overcoming meth addiction and this one is by far the most empowering and useful, and provides practical information for overcoming meth addiction. Definitely a must have in your arsenal.

I am addicted to 7 Hydro. It mimics opioids. I was going broke as it is very expensive. I had been addicted to other substance but felt helpless when trying to get over this nightmare.
This man knows what he’s talking about, the use of herbs and vitamins is something I’ve never heard.
For the first time,, I knew I could escape.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have never felt better. Thank you for giving me the strength. I’ve always felt very weak when it comes to willpower and was scared I got myself in to a real bind. No one knows in my family what I’m going through and I wanted to keep it that way. Thanks to these skills I was able to put it behind me. Thank you so much that I can move on.

Rehab didn’t work for me, this did, and it also worked for many of my friends!
