Customer Reviews

Very positive response!
I used it on a conference I gave to people who had problems with chemical abuse, and all of them gave me an excellent feedback about what they saw in the video. I found it very useful and instructive.

Chemical Dependence: Understanding Addiction
If you can sit through this lecture it is informative. I lost interest after 10 minutes. I know new addicts in sobriety couldn't sit still through this. The movie is slow moving. No real interaction with others. I purchased this video after reading the reviews and I am only reviewing this so others don't make the same mistake I made.

informative, educational, and helpful...
As a substance abuse counselor, I showed my clients this presentation that Mr. Gazley gave on the topic of chemical dependence. They all said how good this video was.

The video lecture is easy to follow and Mr. Gazley explains everything as he goes along. He uses diagrams and other visuals to help the viewer understand better the process of addiction. I will buy more of Mr. Gazley's videos in the future. Highly recommended for those in recovery.
