Description

You are not broken. You are running on outdated software.

If you are reading this, you probably know the cycle:

You promise yourself tomorrow will be different.
You white-knuckle your way through the day using sheer willpower.
By 5:00 PM, stress hits, the autopilot kicks in, and you’re back to square one.

You’ve tried “talking about your feelings.” You’ve tried rules. You’ve tried shame. None of it worked long-term. Why? Because you are trying to run a new life on an old operating system.

Willpower is for amateurs. Systems are for professionals.

After 45 years of drinking, masking pain, and living in survival mode, Ian Callaghan discovered the hard truth: You cannot think your way out of a broken pattern. You have to build your way out.

This book dismantles the myth that addiction and anxiety are character flaws. They are biological loops. And loops can be broken.
