YOU CAN'T SELL BANANAS WITH A MONKEY ON YOUR BACK
(How To Straighten Up Your Act In One Week & Keep The Money In The Country)

A do-it-yourself program on how to conquer substance abuse presented in a handbook and entertaining CD.

Skip Haynes of the Laurel Canyon Animal Company has created a Handbook and CD that contain step-by-step directions on how to overcome, or, at the very least, begin the first steps to overcome substance abuse on your own - from the very moment you decide to change your lifestyle.

You Can't Sell Bananas With A Monkey On Your Back is an easy to read, 50-page hand book that uses humor and street language to communicate with drug users supported by an entertaining (a cross between Timothy Leary and Betty Ford), musical and audio CD, It lays out everything an abuser needs to do to straighten out their lives in the real world - one week at a time. Included on the CD is the song "You Can't Sell Bananas With A Monkey On Your Back" - a cheerful reminder for sticking with the program.

I wrote You Can't Sell Bananas With A Monkey On Your Back for two reasons:

"First, I was a long time substance abuser who didn't want to go to jail, into a free rehab program, couldn't afford any of the expensive rehab facilities but knew I needed to straighten up my act. I developed and began using this day-by-day, week-to-week program that totally turned my negative lifestyle around and has kept me abuse free and happy for the past fifteen years. After going through the process I felt there were many people who were in the same situation I had been who could benefit from the program I had developed for myself.

Second, for every drug abuser there at least four people around them who would do anything to help stop the abuse. This book is also for them. It can say the things they have been trying to say to the abuser in their lives but couldn't get through to them. You Can't Sell Bananas With A Monkey On Your Back can do their talking for them."

You Can't Sell Bananas is for:

• Anyone with a substance abuse problem
• Anyone with a friend or relative who has a substance abuse problem

You Can't Sell Bananas can:

• Help substance abusers help themselves
• Help abusers find rehabilitation programs
• Help abusers stay in rehabilitation programs
• Help abusers remain clean after they leave rehab programs

The book/CD are primarily directed toward cocaine abuse, but the principles apply as well to any other self-destructive habits.
