Addiction is a dreadful illness and it nearly always ends in unnecessary hurt for all those involved. Addicts are often assumed to be powerless to escape their urges. This is no longer true.

The addiction cycle can be broken. For ever.

No Room to Live offers a positive way out from the hell, told through the personal experiences and thoughts of a high profile former addict, Wynford Ellis Owen, who is now a qualified addictions counsellor.

This is a personal reflection, and one that will appeal to anybody who wishes to escape from addiction but feels hopelessly trapped. The book is written with warmth and humour by a man who had it all, lost it all, and then, after much soul searching, successfully found lasting freedom from his own demons. If he did it, so can you.
