The Heart of Addiction: A New Approach to Understanding and Managing Alcoholism and Other Addictive Behaviors by Lance M. Dodes

anomie's review

5.0

Are people addicted to things because the things themselves are addictive? Do you have to 'hit bottom' before you can get well? If you have an addiction, are you by definition self-destructive? Do you need to 'surrender'? Can you only be helped by someone else with an addiction? Is addiction a disease and a problem of brain chemistry? Is there such a thing as an addictive personality?
