I'm not an addict!

The Fight for Your Mind, Your Soul, and Your Freedom.

Colin Fleming is an Addiction Recovery Coach (ARC) with a 35% success rate — compared to 3% for rehabs and 0% for 12-step programs. Imagine William Wallace meeting Gabor Maté and having a baby — that’s the energy behind his approach to addiction.

Break the hidden habits that keep addiction alive — and reclaim your freedom.

Addiction isn’t just substances or behaviours. It’s the invisible patterns running a person’s life — denial, guilt, blame, self-sabotage, anger, and more. Until these patterns are exposed, they keep people trapped.

The 20 Behaviours of Addiction – Part 1 lifts the veil on these unconscious habits and offers clear, practical strategies to destroy them. No therapy jargon. No sugar-coating. Just straight answers that anyone can use.

This book is for anyone ready to fight — whether battling addiction themselves, supporting a loved one, or stepping up as an ARC.

Readers will discover:

• How to spot the 20 hidden behaviours that keep addiction in control.

• Practical, real-world tactics to shut them down before they spiral.

• Why these behaviours create a false self — and how to reclaim the authentic self.

• A battle plan for recognising relapse patterns early and stopping them cold.

This is only Part 1. Later volumes go deeper — exploring how the brain gets hijacked, the role of family and enablers, and how to step fully into the fight as an ARC.

Addiction thrives in the shadows. This book hands readers the torch.
