Addiction Plain and Simple (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Without presumption, readers are encouraged to journey on an intuitive path of enlightenment as it relates to a non-fictional account of the insanity of addiction. The power is in its simplicity. It answers the proverbial question: Why? Why do people use drugs? Why do they do this to themselves; to me? Why don't they just stop? It offers the reader an intimate understanding of addiction as they are reminded that the addict is God's child. The book is not laden with speculation and breaking tradition, reference to theories is minimal. In contrast to any other source, it collectively brings together the stark reality of addiction including: self esteem, which is inextricably tied to addiction, the insidiousness of powerlessness, the crippling effects of denial, the intricate web of anger, the cyclic nature of depression, and the loss of one's soul through isolation: all experienced through the mindset of addicts. It culminates in a message from the reader to the addict, validating their existence; followed by a challenge for the addict to assume responsibility and embrace a spirit free from addiction. An ultimate message from the addict to any readers who fall prey to skepticism is for them to turn to the beginning of the book and revisit each page: to hear what was unheard, see what was unseen, and understand the imaginable.
