..just wish he would read it now! It does no good for me to read it and badger him about all i discovered that could help him fight his addiction. He needs to realize he has a problem first and WANT to change!!
Thank you Brigitte

Addiction-Free Naturally has been an incredible resource. I have suffered from addiction for many years, and I find Mar's book an incredible resource. She encourages a program of recovery, including support networks, nutritional info, aromatherapy, acupuncture and pressure and herbal therapy as well. I had the delightful opportunity to meet Brigette when I lived in Boulder. I see that she had continued her studies and practice of her healing arts. I look forward to more books by Mars.
