Author: Harry Haroutunian MD

**As Featured on The Dr. Oz Show in Special Addiction Episode with Steven Tyler**
The disease of addiction affects 1 out of 10 people in the United States, and is a devastating — often, fatal — illness.  Now, from the physician director of the renowned Betty Ford Center, comes a step – by -step plan with a realistic “one – day – at – a – time” approach to a disease that so often seems insurmountable.  With a focus on reclaiming the power that comes from a life free of dependency, Being Sober  walks readers through the many phases of addiction and recovery without judgment or the overly “cultish” language of traditional 12-step plans.

It also addresses the latest face of this disease: the “highly functioning” addict, or someone who is still able to achieve personal and professional success even as they battle a drug or alcohol problem.  Dr. Haroutunian tackles this provocative issue head-  on, offering new insight into why you don’t have to “bottom out” to get help.  Dr. Haroutunian is himself a recovering alcoholic and knows firsthand the challenges of sobriety.  His background and expertise in the field of alcohol and drug treatment give him a powerful edge and perspective that is unparalleled in his field.

Using clear, straightforward language, Being Sober  offers a proven path toward an emotional sobriety and a rewarding new life based on gratitude, dignity, and self-respect.

Including a Foreword written by Steven Tyler.
