What People Are Saying

Claudia Black
George DuWors is one of the first clinicians to connect family of origin issues with relapse behavior. For that I thank him.
—MSW,PhD, Author of It Will Never Happen to Me and Double Duty

Lorie Dwinell
This is an extraordinarily practical and useful book, the kind that can only be written by a seasoned clinician..
—MCW,BCD, Author of After the Tears, Reclaiming the Personal Losses of Childhood

Steve Morris
There are thousands of reasons why addicts relapse -- but George DuWors has identified a common cognitive pathway that they all go through, and in doing so has given the student and practitioner new tools in the efforts to prevent relapse and enhance recovery.
—MA, Director, Addiction Studies Program, Seattle, University, Seattle, WA

Lawrence J. Lombard
At Springbrook Northwest we see many patients with a lot of education and a lot of prior treatment. DuWors' focus on the moment of relapse brings home to them that it is the chemical free mind which picks up the first drink. The concept of subliminal craving makes sense to these folks, healing sense.
—NCACII, Springbrook Northwest, Newberg, Oregon

Terry Seaholm
At last! An approach to relapse that is simple, experiential, and connected to principles of recovery. I have read and reread this book. And I have run DuWors' observation about the moment of relapse past thousands of patients. All I get is nodding heads and sheepish grins.
