In 2019 my dear friend and colleague Barbara Sarah Smith and I collaborated across continents to co-write a book about how an understanding of the Three Principles can boost recovery from addiction.

The result is our book,  Addiction: One Cause, One Solution.

BOOK REVIEW

‘When I first heard of the principles that form the foundation of this book, I knew immediately that they would revolutionize and simplify the treatment and recovery process for addiction. From that hope I wrote my first book, The Serenity Principle, that has helped thousands of addicts in finding true serenity and lasting recovery. Barbara Smith and Christian McNeill have taken a huge leap from that humble beginning in writing about this paradigm shift. Their book provides a profound, simple, and practical guide to recovery and the resulting promise of serenity and sobriety. In a very personal style they share their own journeys and those of others who have long searched for an end to the struggle with addiction–to a rediscovery of their true inner source of well-being, wisdom, and deep inner peace. I am so grateful to them for writing this book and will share it with all my clients and the professionals that I train. In deepest gratitude for the gift Christian and Barbara have given us all.‘ Joseph Bailey, Author, The Serenity Principle

Barbara Smith and Christian McNeill share a remarkably simple paradigm that explains a single cause and cure for all addiction. Sound too good to be true? It’s not. The understanding of mental health they share is as profound as it is simple, and it has already helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. This book will be an absolute game-changer for people struggling with addiction and for those who support them.’
