| Publisher Description: Addiction is more complex than it may seem. Written for the non-addict who seeks to understand substance addiction, The Soul of an Addict shows that addiction not just a disease or a choice. Using statistics, anecdotes from the lives of addicts, and the author's personal experience with addiction and recovery, the book argues that addiction affects all aspects of human existence, including identity, purpose, life structure, and morality. It serves as a religion in the addict's life, and any approach to recovery must also provide these essential needs. With one in seven Americans struggling with substance abuse, this book brings a timely analysis for anyone concerned about addiction."A must-read... As a therapist I will be recommending this book to my clients." -Milt McLelland, CMHC, Roots Counseling Center"One of the best overviews of addiction I have read." -Linford Stutzman, Eastern Mennonite University |
