Choice Theory®, developed by William Glasser, M.D. provides a simple, yet profound explanation of human behavior. As a psychiatrist that practiced for 50 years working with all kinds of patients and diagnosis, he has recently stated that all he has ever really been is a teacher; a psychiatrist that teaches people to be happy.
A Choice Theory Approach to Drug and Alcohol Abuse is a continuation of Dr. Glasser’s theory and teachings. Mike Rice teaches people how to be happier.
One of the easiest to understand principles is also one of the most difficult lessons to practice; “The only person you can control is yourself.” Mike explains that even though people logically agree with the statement, many people spend their time trying to change others through the use of negative or “deadly” habits. These behaviors hinder relationships and increase unhappiness.
Mike will teach you some new ideas, show you different ways of looking at the problem of addiction, and will provide information you need to help you move toward happiness. The logical progression of ideas, coupled with explanations, case studies, and opportunities for self-reflection, make this a powerful, effective tool for anyone wanting help with an addiction.

This book is a great book for
people who live with or are addicts themselves. It also is a great book for
dealing with just everyday problems. It kept my attention all the way to the
end.
