12-step programs have a failure rate of 85 to 95 percent. It is time to embrace a different approach to addiction. Instead of basing the treatment of addiction on a disease model, a better approach is to treat addiction holistically. A metaphysical viewpoint looks at spiritual principles and the evolution of the soul to come to an understanding of addiction. Author Kelli Malcolm, Esq. provides insight as to why popular recovery programs fall short in many cases, why relapse is prevalent, and carries the message that there is a way to move beyond addiction and continue on your life's journey. There is hope for those who suffer from addiction and relief for those who love and care about them. About the Author: Kelli Malcolm, Esq. represents abused and neglected children and acts as a spiritual coach. Her own experiences with addiction and the desire to share an alternative to the 12-step approach motivated her to write this book. Kelli is currently working on her next book, The Law of Being.
