Description
Overcome Addiction Through Meditation, Fasting and Stress Management offers a clear, grounded and deeply practical path for anyone determined to break free from a harmful addictive cycle. Instead of relying on willpower alone, this book guides you toward strengthening the mind, restoring balance to the brain, and reducing cravings at their source.
Addiction is not a fixed state - it is a challenge that can be overcome with the right tools. Here, you will learn how three simple, accessible practices, meditation, fasting and stress management, work together to rebalance the five key neurotransmitters disrupted by addiction: dopamine, serotonin, GABA, glutamate and norepinephrine. By restoring this balance, the brain becomes calmer, clearer and far more capable of resisting impulsive urges and compulsive cravings.
Through straightforward explanations and real-world examples, the book shows:
• Why meditation elevates dopamine, serotonin and GABA to reduce cravings and strengthen self-control
• How fasting lowers glutamate, quiets compulsive drives, and supports mental clarity
• Why unmanaged stress triggers relapse - and how simple daily habits can keep norepinephrine in check
• How changing your environment, your routines and even your mindset dramatically increases your chance of success
Find practical guidance on building consistency, overcoming setbacks, developing patience, and staying grounded during the recovery process. These tools are not harsh, complicated or costly - each one is easy to apply and becomes more powerful with repetition.
Whether you are struggling yourself or supporting someone on their journey, this book gives you an approach that is gentle, logical and evidence-based. By focusing on the process rather than the fear of relapse, you will develop the strength, clarity and balance needed to reclaim your life…
One peaceful, steady step at a time.

Calm the Cravings, Keep the Control
This book flips the script on recovery by showing how calming your mind, lowering stress, and creating simple daily habits can make breaking free feel possible instead of overwhelming.
Overcome Addiction Through Meditation, Fasting and Stress Management breaks addiction down in a way that finally makes sense without judgment or pressure. Instead of pushing willpower or shame, the book explains how addiction affects the brain and how simple practices like meditation, fasting, and stress management can calm cravings and restore balance over time. What I appreciated most was how practical and steady the approach felt, nothing extreme, nothing overwhelming, just clear steps that feel doable in real life. I enjoyed reading this because it felt reassuring and logical, like someone was calmly walking me through a process instead of telling me to fight myself, and that made the message feel both hopeful and realistic.
What if breaking free didn’t mean fighting harder but slowing down and getting calmer? That’s what hooked me right away with this book. I loved how it explains addiction in a way that feels kind and doable instead of scary or heavy, and how meditation, fasting, and stress management are treated like simple tools you can actually use instead of complicated rules. I found myself nodding along thinking okay yes this finally feels realistic. This is the kind of book you read and feel steadier afterward, not judged, not overwhelmed, just encouraged to take the next small step and keep going. Definitely worth reading if you want a gentler way forward that actually makes sense 🌱✨
