Inhaltsangabe

The purpose of this book is to reduce the mystery which has surrounded our view of addiction. To understand addiction is to understand the person. For each person, there is a unique mix of influences, symptoms, and consequences. If the behavior of someone in your life is puzzling to you, then this book might bring you a better understanding. A better understanding might improve your ability to accept them, love them and, perhaps, assist them in achieving recovery. It is hoped that this will apply if this someone is your child, your life partner, a business associate, or even if it is you. If you are already in recovery, much of what you read here will be familiar. However, much of the new information might surprise you. This work is intended to supplement what you have already learned from clinical and grass roots recovery (12 steps and other groups). It will assist you in identifying your unique components and methods to continually improve the quality of your recovery. We have identified addiction and addictive behavior as a pervasive social issue. It might be argued that it will touch each and every one of us at some time in our lives. I hope that this brief work will be of service to you, your family, and your community.
