to Dr. Chopra, many conventional forms of treatment for addiction
are negative and fear-based, and therefore less likely to succeed
long-term than a more uplifting approach. Dr. Chopra's Ayurveda-based
regimen enables the reader to become more attuned to the needs and

Imagine pouring your thoughts and feelings out a few times a week.
