Chapter 1. "Overcoming Your Objections."
Part 1: The Seductiveness of Bad Habits
Part 2: Your Feelings & the Internal Locus (Point) of Control
Part 3: A Lifetime Training Manual for Self-Management
Part 4: You Are in Control

This 70-page chapter will introduce you to: a) my model of a bio-psycho-social conceptualization of addiction; b) a new framework for looking at your problem behavior, and c) a new method for unraveling yourself from unwanted, repetitive behaviors.

Since "Take Control Now!" was published in 1994, volumes of new knowledge and supportive research have surfaced, all consistent with my book's basic principles. Remember, this is a general book about breaking bad habits, not a specific book on alcohol or drug misuse. All concepts are applicable to any type of excessive behavior, be it gambling, weight control, spending, or sexual excesses.

Read the book slowly, and don't hesitate to read it more than once, because these concepts are unique and profound in the field of addiction treatment. "Take Control Now!" has many checklists and homework assignments that you may not want to take the time to do, but will be of great benefit to you, nonetheless. Most important, the sooner you begin tackling tasks or behaviors that are uncomfortable for you or inconsistent with your normal behavior, the sooner you will be able to break free of the hold that these substances and excessive behaviors have on you.
