The Answer to Addiction

In my opinion, and I am an addict and an avid reader as well.This had to be the best book aound that I knew of to begin to explain to non-addicts about addiction. Being such a hard concept to grasp, even for those of who have been given the gift of addiction, I gave this book out often. I am now looking for 5 copies so if anyone can help me, it's for a very good cause. I feel it most important and advantagous to educate people on what addiction really is and who better to explain that then the addict.

The most helpful book in its genre

I am heartbroken that this book is out of print. It is, with the possible exception of the Alcoholics Anonymous "Big Book," the most helpful book on addiction recovery I have ever read. The section on honesty alone is worth the price of the book. If you can get hold of a copy, do yourself and favor and don't let the opportunity pass you by.
