Overcoming Addiction
A Common Sense Approach
Ten Speed Press, 2000
Aperçu
Addicts aren’t crazed street people; they exist throughout society. They can change when they acknowledge their problem.
Recommendation
Addictions to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, gambling and sex destroy millions of lives every year. In clear language, counseling psychologist Michael Hardiman explains the physical and psychological components of addiction and details why some people are particularly vulnerable. He is not concerned with offering broad solutions to this monumental social problem. Instead, he wants to help individual addicts and their loved ones untangle themselves from the web of addiction. If you think you or someone close may be addicted to substances or behaviors, getAbstract strongly recommends this primer on the nature of addiction.
