A publisher, not a clinic
Stop To Be Addict writes practical material about quitting porn, nicotine, sugar, screens and alcohol. That is the whole claim. There is no treatment centre, no medical board and no success rate to quote.

What we are
An independent publisher. We read the behavioural research, we test the practical parts on ourselves, and we write what survives.
We publish in English and in French. Everything on the site is educational. Some of it is free, some of it is paid, and the paid part is a book and a program, not a service.
What we are not
Not a treatment provider
No clinic, no facility, no clinicians on staff, no accreditation from any health authority in any country. If a page ever suggests otherwise, it is a mistake and we want to hear about it.
Not a source of medical advice
Nothing here diagnoses or treats anything. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be dangerous and belongs with a doctor, not with a website.
Not neutral about money
We sell things and we earn commissions. We tell you where, on the page itself, before you click.
How we write
- Named sources or nothing. If a claim rests on research, the researcher is named and so is the book or paper. The full shelf is on the Expert Library page.
- No invented numbers. No success rates, no member counts, no percentages we cannot point at. That includes our own results, which we do not have yet.
- No testimonials until there are customers. The reviews section on our sales pages is empty on purpose. It stays empty until real buyers write something real.
- No shame. Shame is one of the cues that keeps a loop running. It has no place in the method and none in the writing.
- We correct in public. When we get something wrong, the page says what changed and when.
Where to start
The guides
Free, and the largest part of the site. Sorted by what you are trying to stop.
The Expert Library
The nine books behind the method, and the three places the field disagrees with itself.
The Reset Method
Our paid program: ninety days, one action a day, audio, workbook and a relapse playbook.
If you need real help right now
This site is not the right tool for an emergency. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or 1-800-662-4357 for the SAMHSA National Helpline, which is free, confidential and open at all hours. In France, 3114 for suicide prevention and 0 980 980 930 for Alcool Info Service. We have no connection to any of these services. We list them because they are the right call and we are not.
Questions
Are you doctors?
No. Stop To Be Addict is a publisher. Nobody here is a physician, a psychologist or a licensed counsellor, and we never present ourselves as one.
Who writes the articles?
They are produced by our editorial team from published behavioural research, which we name on the page rather than referring to vague studies. Where the evidence is contested, we say so.
How do you make money?
Two ways. We sell our own guides, and we earn affiliate commissions on books and products we link to. Both are disclosed on the page where they appear, not buried in a footer.
Do you sell my email address?
No. It is used to send you what you asked for and the follow-up we described when you signed up. One click unsubscribes and the record goes.
Can you help me if I am in danger?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. If you are in crisis, or physically dependent on alcohol or benzodiazepines, contact emergency services or a physician. In the United States, 988 reaches the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. In France, 3114.
