A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food and eBay, that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first steps into recovery
“This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain but from the mud...My qualification is not that I am better than you but I am worse.” —Russell Brand
With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his fourteen years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering along the full spectrum of addiction—from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work, stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “Why are you addicted?” but "What pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running—into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong person’s arms?"
Russell has been in all the twelve-step fellowships going, he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and a practiced yogi—and while he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a recovery plan, but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.

Editorial Review
Take a journey into the world of addiction and ultimate reflection and recovery in this unabridged audiobook written and narrated by Russell Brand. Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions is a poignant account of Russell Brand’s personal experiences with a plethora of addictions, from drugs to shopping and the tools that empowered him in his recovery. From traditional twelve-step recovery programs like alcoholics anonymous, therapy and yoga to his ultimate understanding of what causes addiction, Russell Brand does not shy away from bearing it all to help others on their paths to recovery in this audiobook. Brand’s humour, honesty, and empathy take listeners on a journey that is both eye-opening and full of inspiration.
Recovery is not a typical self-help book. Instead, it is an examination and, ultimately, the understanding of the roots of addiction. What pain are you trying to conceal with your substance abuse? What holes are you trying to fill with your shopping addiction? What traumas and triggers keep you running into the wrong person’s arms? Russell Brand has done the hard work of uncovering the many reasons people use social media, food, and toxic relationships to soothe parts of them that need healing unknowingly.
Russell Brand has written multiple best-sellers, but he has never revealed the strategies and tools that transformed his life of addiction quite like this. The Recovery audiobook from Macmillan Audio is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction and their family members looking for ways to help and understand the people they love, the compelling customer reviews are proof of its impact. Russell Brand not only gives listeners a plan for their recovery that goes beyond recommending a twelve-step program but also gives them insights that make understanding the world around them a little less overwhelming.
