About the Book

Why do so many people know exactly what is harming them, and still find it so hard to stop?

Change Your Life: The Freedom Within explores addiction as a pattern of thought, emotion, and habit that slowly takes control of a person's life, and shows how that control can be regained through a genuine transformation of consciousness.

Shay Gatenio explains how addiction forms, what distinguishes mental addiction from physical addiction, and what drives the urge to reach for external aids. He then guides the reader through a full recovery process that joins practical tools with the spiritual dimension of faith, prayer, introspection, and love.

Inside you will find:

• What addiction is, and the patterns that run our lives

• Chapters on cigarettes and nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, the digital world, and compulsive eating

• Guidance for parents of children who are hooked on phones and screens

• Three sets of 30 exercises: for changing habits, and for recovery from alcohol and from cannabis

• How to turn setbacks into a springboard, and how your environment affects recovery

• Guided imagery, faith and prayer, and self-love as part of genuine recovery

From the book series "Looking at Life from Above" by Shay Gatenio, because life is a gift.
