Download or read book How to Kill an Addiction written by Michele Eich and published by Square Tree Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Growing up in small town America, I never imagined I would wake up one day to find myself an addicted, homeless bum. But at age 19, I lost everything. I was homeless, jobless, and friendless, with a cocaine addiction gripping my life. Eventually I found myself in cell 121. I had grown up going to church, but I only knew the rules-based 'religious' Jesus. While I was incarcerated, a gentleman with the Gideons would come visit me. He was there, every Sunday, and his commitment showed me that God wasn't done with me yet. Right there in cell 121, I accepted Christ. Even though I was still behind bars for nearly a year, it was one of the best years of my life..." excerpt, Voices of Recovery, by Rusty Boruff How to Kill an Addiction takes a unique approach. Instead of wondering why things happen, it asks the question, Did Jesus provide a way out or not? He did, and it is not just for the "sweet by and by," but for the rough "right here and now." With its uplifting section called Voices of Recovery, you will hear from real people facing real problems and rejoice with them as they share how they have overcome a variety of life-controlling issues. This can only happen when their focus is on the Chain Breaker (Jesus) rather than the chain itself. How to Kill an Addiction explains what has already been done to solve the problems we face. If you have tried everything (or nothing at all), I challenge you to read How to Kill an Addiction.

Download or read book Unbroken Brain written by Maia Szalavitz and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More people than ever before see themselves as addicted to, or recovering from, addiction, whether it be alcohol or drugs, prescription meds, sex, gambling, porn, or the internet. But despite the unprecedented attention, our understanding of addiction is trapped in unfounded 20th century ideas, addiction as a crime or as brain disease, and in equally outdated treatment. Challenging both the idea of the addict's "broken brain" and the notion of a simple "addictive personality," The New York Times Bestseller, Unbroken Brain, offers a radical and groundbreaking new perspective, arguing that addictions are learning disorders and shows how seeing the condition this way can untangle our current debates over treatment, prevention and policy. Like autistic traits, addictive behaviors fall on a spectrum -- and they can be a normal response to an extreme situation. By illustrating what addiction is, and is not, the book illustrates how timing, history, family, peers, culture and chemicals come together to create both illness and recovery- and why there is no "addictive personality" or single treatment that works for all. Combining Maia Szalavitz's personal story with a distillation of more than 25 years of science and research,Unbroken Brain provides a paradigm-shifting approach to thinking about addiction. Her writings on radical addiction therapies have been featured in The Washington Post, Vice Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, in addition to multiple other publications. She has been interviewed about her book on many radio shows including Fresh Air with Terry Gross and The Brian Lehrer show.

Book Synopsis Bridging the Gap Between Practice and Research by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Bridging the Gap Between Practice and Research written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-08-11 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, most substance abuse treatment is administered by community-based organizations. If providers could readily incorporate the most recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of addiction and treatment, the treatment would be much more effective and efficient. The gap between research findings and everyday treatment practice represents an enormous missed opportunity at this exciting time in this field. Informed by real-life experiences in addiction treatment including workshops and site visits, Bridging the Gap Between Practice and Research examines why research remains remote from treatment and makes specific recommendations to community providers, federal and state agencies, and other decision-makers. The book outlines concrete strategies for building and disseminating knowledge about addiction; for linking research, policy development, and everyday treatment implementation; and for helping drug treatment consumers become more informed advocates. In candid language, the committee discusses the policy barriers and the human attitudesâ€"the stigma, suspicion, and skepticismâ€"that often hinder progress in addiction treatment. The book identifies the obstacles to effective collaboration among the research, treatment, and policy sectors; evaluates models to address these barriers; and looks in detail at the issue from the perspective of the community-based provider and the researcher.
Download or read book Addiction written by John Hoffman and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One question that anyone who has witnessed addiction up close inevitably asks is, "Why can't they just stop?" For decades the question has confounded addicts, their families, and the doctors and specialists trying to help them. Now it can finally be answered. Thanks to major leaps in the scientific understanding of addiction, an entirely new portrait of this frightening disease has come into focus. The new science tells us that addicts, in part, are unable to quit using drugs or alcohol because chemical changes in their brains prevent them from doing so. In this penetrating look at how addiction works, editors John Hoffman and Susan Froemke (producers of the HBO documentary series ADDICTION) have turned more than two years of research and reporting into a vitally important guide for any family faced with the disease. New imaging technology has enabled scientists to peer inside the addicted brain and observe in real time what craving for drugs and alcohol looks like chemically. It is now possible to literally see the ways that substances like cocaine, heroin, and alcohol alter the brain's "Stop!" and "Go!" decision-making processes. Better scientific understanding has yielded innovations in behavioral therapies, while new medications that can be prescribed by family doctors have been clinically proven to reduce craving in alcoholics and opiate addicts. The result? As Addiction: Why Can't They Just Stop? reports in riveting detail, there is new hope for anyone struggling with addiction. The stories about scientists, doctors, researchers, and families that face addiction gathered in this book testify to the fact that the tide has turned. Yes, recovery remains an imperfect process. It must be tailored to the needs of the individual; it may take years to achieve remission. But, armed with the new science-based understanding of the disease, experts have created treatments that are ever more precise and effective—making recovery a realistic goal for all addicts. The evidence is in. The battle against the addiction epidemic can—and should—be won.
Book Synopsis Kick Your Addiction by : Frederick Woolverton
Download or read book Kick Your Addiction written by Frederick Woolverton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is a smoking, alcohol, food, gambling, Internet, drug, or sex addiction holding you back from getting what you want most? Over the past twenty-five years, renowned addiction therapist Dr. Frederick Woolverton has used his dynamic, empathetic approach to help thousands of addicts achieve long-term recovery—including himself. He sees the specific habit as less important than the underlying chaos and fear that motivate the urge to soothe ourselves with bad habits. The solution, he has found, requires only a better understanding of yourself and a change in attitude. Using real patient examples as well as research and his own experience, Dr. Woolverton and coauthor and former patient Susan Shapiro show how to thrive without self-medicating. Woolverton’s specific instructions do not require an expensive therapist, rehab, a twelve-step program, or a higher power (though he does make readers aware of those viable options). Let him help you beat your addiction. When you conquer a toxic habit, you are leaving room for something beautiful to take its place.
Book Synopsis Rebalancing the Addictive Mind by : Rochelle Ann Poerio
Download or read book Rebalancing the Addictive Mind written by Rochelle Ann Poerio and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books cater to the fitness and nutritional needs of the general public. But little of this advice is specifically directed toward those who have the literally life-or-death need to keep alcohol, drug, gambling, sex, internet and other addictions at bay. How exercise and diet speed up the recovery process and promote relapse prevention is a case rarely made, even by most treatment facilities! Rebalancing the Addictive Mind is an evidence-based, accessible guide that explains how and why exercise and diet produce faster physical, psychological and emotional recovery from addiction and significantly reduce the chances of relapse. And how anyone, despite almost any age or infirmity, can benefit from the principles outlined in this book. Author Shelley Poerio, a licensed addiction counselor and certified fitness trainer, describes how substance dependence and behavioral compulsions change the brain and body, provides guidance and solutions to undo the damage, and motivates change in the recovering individual. Family members gain insight into how to support their loved-one in recovery and better understand how addictive thinking and behaviors get out of control. Counseling and medical professionals will appreciate the cognitive-behavioral, solutions-focused therapeutic approach and the integration of exercise and nutritional concepts with 12-step recovery principles. Ms. Poerio bases her case on the biochemical science of addiction. In the early sections of the book, she examines the anatomy and functions of the brain, and explains the ability of substance and behavioral addictions to exploit brain chemistry and create cravings and dependence. A crucially important aspect of this story, for teenagers and their parents, is that teens are particularly susceptible to developing addictions. Fortunately, the biochemistry of addiction can be turned against itself. Many of us know the positive feelings of well-being that result from working out and eating well. Rebalancing the Addictive Mind reveals in detail why this is just what the doctor ordered to fight addictions. Exercise and diet are uniquely qualified to replace the highs produced by drugs and alcohol, and undo the damage they cause. Aerobic and strength training act as safe substitutes that stimulate the brain's neurotransmitters in much the same way that addictive substances do. Exercise promotes improved brain function and neuronal growth. Proper nutrition prevents the mood swings that can provoke a relapse, and corrects the addiction-caused deficiencies that harm major organs and bodily processes. With a bristling arsenal of therapeutic weapons, exercise and diet use restorative biology to fight the biology of addiction, and empower the brain and body to heal themselves. Ms. Poerio - a former track athlete at Stanford University - draws not only on the latest research, but on her own experience. The plans she outlines combine elements of her workouts with future pro and Olympic athletes at Stanford, and with young (and old) substance abusers as the counseling/fitness-program developer at the Phoenix House of the Mid-Atlantic in Arlington, Virginia. All of her strategies are easy to put into practice, and set realistic goals. They produce encouraging results for the average person in recovery in part because they are simple to do and likely to be used regularly. Above all, however, Rebalancing the Addictive Mind speaks to and motivates its readers on a very personal and understanding level. Ms. Poerio, an alcoholic/addict in recovery since 2001, introduces the book by describing her own substance-induced suicidal ideation that forced her on the road to rehabilitation. Her book includes simple anecdotes - about her work to help her clients and herself - that make it clear she has "been there and done that," and that anyone armed with her book and the willingness to put in some work can do it too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defies the myth that parents must sacrific themselves. Instead, shows them how to reclaim their power, balance, happiness...and lives. When kids turn to substance abuse, parents also become victims as they watch their children transform into irrational and antisocial individuals. This harrowing scenario finds parents buckling beneath the stress--often with catastrophoric consequences: Divorce, career upsets, breakdowns and worse. "Don't Let Your Kids Kill You" is a landmark work that dares focus on the plight of the confused, distressed parent and not the erring child. It sets aside any preconceived ideas that parents are to blame for what is essentially a full-blown global crisis. Drawing on interviews with parents who've survived the heartbreak of kids on drugs, combined with his own experience, Charles Rubin provides practical advice on how parents can help themselves and their families by first attending to their own needs. Liberation begins when you open this book.

Book excerpt: What is the scariest thing you can think of? For me, it was overdosing at 27 years old in my friend's basement. Knocked out cold, alone, helpless and at death's door, it was the culmination of a decade-long battle against my desires and addictions. In the time leading up to this, I had been reckless towards not only the people around me, but myself and my body. The addictions that had me imprisoned stemmed from simple issues like overeating on a daily basis to more extreme problems like abusing drugs in the search for that next high. By the time I left high school, I was already addicted to alcohol, food and drugs - sex completed the full cycle soon enough. I was a hundred pounds overweight. I underperformed at work and at home. I spent my days on a high or planning the next one. I had lost all hope in myself and my future. I was a nobody living in an empty body. I took down my mirror because I couldn't bear to look at the stranger that I saw within its depths. I was killing myself, yet I could not bring myself to stop the rut. I made resolutions to quit on a daily basis. I hated what was happening to me, yet could not stop it. Things came to a head when I came within a whisker of death a few weeks after my 27th birthday. That near-death experience saved my life, and gave me a new chance to fight off my addictions. I fought a winning battle and I stand here, almost three decades later, an expert in addiction recovery. I was one of the lucky ones; many people get killed or fail to live due to their addictions. Addictions are something we all neglect till they become too powerful to ignore. Many people wish away their addiction until it becomes too strong, that it becomes their life and truth. I combined my personal experience during my decade of hell and two decades of professional work helping addicts, to produce "Death to Addiction". In this book you will learn: All about your brain and why is yearns for that next 'hit' How to spot a new and upcoming addiction from a mile away The one MAIN reason your addictions occur Why you might be addicted to alcohol without even knowing How drugs are a world of downward spirals How an eating addiction can sneak up out of nowhere Why sex addiction is more than what happens in bed How to turn into the master of yourself and perfect self-discipline The amazing benefits of healthy relationships The two superpowers I used to end hundreds of people's addictions Why meditation and mindfulness are the secret weapons to success The #1 surefire way to putting death to your addiction And so much more... Everyone has their fair share of addictions but nearly 90% of people with them, have no idea what to do about them. So, they clear some space for the addictions to exist. People simply choose to live with them and act like they are not there, when in reality, addictions are the biggest reason why they live their entire life asking themselves, "what if?" Take a moment and ask yourself this: "what would life have been like if I ended my addiction 30 years ago?" And then, ask yourself: "What will my life look like in ten years if I don't end this addiction now?" Putting death to my addictions by applying the tips and strategies in this book flipped my world upside down for the better and I know it will do the same for you.
