THE ADDICT

Summary

Do you know any drug addicts or alcoholics?

As an ex junky I wrote this book to help addicts and their devastated families. Throughout my two decades of sobriety, I've been working with those still in the trenches and the folks caught in their orbit, trying to solve the riddle of an unstoppable addict. Why would a person do something so harmful to themself and the ones they love? Are they a disaster because they're on drugs, or on drugs because they were a disaster? The drugs are usually just a symptom of a bigger problem. This problem or malady doesn't just manifest itself as a drug addiction; it can also come in the form of: criminal behaviour,

eating disorders, gambling problems, anxiety, depression etc.

So what can we do? How do we identify the root causes? The answers to these questions are usually buried deep within- we just have to get our hands dirty and do some digging. This book is your shovel, no sponsors or meetings needed. In this book I'll share my story and walk you through a program with a different approach to life and recovery.

Let's get started.
