THE KID FROM THE SOUTH BRONX WHO NEVER GAVE UP
“HERE IS MY ROAD MAP FOR POSITIVE CHANGE”
There is one thing in this world, one special lesson, one constant that’s guided me through the turbulent waters of life. This infinite rule that most people know but ignore or who simply do not follow their life lessons. That is, no matter what, no matter the circumstances, the obstacles, the people that get in our way or things that slow us down, follow this one simple rule: “Never give up on your dreams, never let go of your passions, and especially never give up on yourself or a God of your understanding.”
Hi, my name is John Giordano, and I am a recovering addict who turned $300 into $45,000,000.
I was blessed to become extremely successful and I would like to share my story with you. This is how I was saved from falling into the abyss of hell. I transformed my life by following this one rule and learned how to have a life worth living.
Anthony De Fillipo
Mayor North Miami Beach Florida
“I watched John Giordano start his small company in our city and turned it into a multi-million dollar business. We as the city watched him grow and was proud to have him in our city.”

HOW TO BEAT YOUR ADDICTIONS & LIVE A QUALITY LIFE
Recovering addicts wrote the words on these pages. In this edition, we have added stories of other addicts and alcoholics. We hope these can help you identify and understand the importance of the information and suggestions in this book.
This information is an accumulation of years of successfully continued abstinence from drugs and alcohol. This knowledge was passed down by a number of addicts/alcoholics who have long-term clean time or sobriety and who continually work on their bad character habits. In these pages, you will find some of the excuses addicts use so that they do not have to change.
You will also find the antidote for those excuses, learn how to overcome them, and move forward. Some pages suggest that you do some writing or exercise. Please don’t take these lightly; they definitely help more than you know. Do the work, create the change, and enjoy your recovery.
MOLECULAR NEUROBIOLOGY OF ADDICTION RECOVERY – THE 12 STEPS PROGRAM AND FELLOWSHIP
Humans are biologically programmed to seek out pleasurable experiences. These experiences are processed in the mesolimbic system, also referred to as the “reward center” of the brain, where a number of chemical messengers work in concert to provide a net release of dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens. In some genetically predisposed individuals, addiction occurs when the mechanisms of the mesolimbic system are disrupted by the use of various drugs of abuse. Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, its 12-step program of spiritual and character development has helped countless alcoholics and drug addicts curb their self-destructive behaviors. However, the program was developed at a time when comparatively little was known about the function of the brain and it has never been studied scientifically. This is the first book to take a systematic look at the molecular neurobiology associated with each of the 12 steps and to review the significant body of addiction research literature that is pertinent to the program.
