Book Synopsis Crystal Clean by : Kimberly Wollenburg
Download or read book Crystal Clean written by Kimberly Wollenburg and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are precious few things in this life of which I am certain. One is the love I have for my son, Andy... The other thing of which I am certain is this: no one wants to be an addict." - from the book. Here's what readers have to say: "Kim's writing style is clear, lucid, revealing, and on a par with the best of skilled non-fiction authors - Thor Heyerdahl, Thomas Thompson, even James Michener or my favorite, Jan de Hartog, and she is able to make the reader relive her addictions - all of them - to the point that I HAD to put the book down several times and "de-tox" myself, or at least breathe normally, before I could return to it. I've never felt so much inside the skin of someone who is going through the horror of addiction as when reading this biography." "Kim has cleansed her soul by once again facing the demons of her past, and I can only imagine how much strength it took for her to reopen her wounds and recount them one by one." "Crystal Clean is a book I couldn't put down about an amazing woman who was once completely immersed in the world of crystal meth. If you didn't know that she made it through the other side (because she is telling her own story), you might not believe she will come out of it alive. Kim lays out her life story, with memories that help show her state of mind as she started using different drugs and then meth. But it's not a "woe is me" story, and she doesn't dwell on the bad things that contributed to her mental state. It is ultimately a story about how a mother's love can overcome the terrible odds associated with this addiction." "This is a well-written, entertaining book. The author's style is light even when when the subject is not. It would have been easy to simply write about the misery that must come with Meth addiction. Instead, the author gives insight into her background and motivations. You can't help but root for the author as she describes her descent into drug addiction "hell," even though she is responsible for all her choices." "Being a mom of a special needs son (only child) and struggling to be everything to that child, while barely hanging on yourself is such a familiar story to me." "While reading this book, it hit home so much I had to stop reading it for moments at a time. So real and writing was so descriptive, I had to separate her feelings from my own in some regard. Thank you for opening up to your readers and trusting us with your story. I picture you kind of like a female "Rocky" winning in the end. Can't help but root for you and Andy!" "What an insightful and bravely written book. What Kim has shared is an amazingly helpful understanding to anyone who has been touched by the outreaching fingers of meth addiction and mental illness. And to those who haven't, a good reminder that not everyone or everything is as it may seem." "A beautiful memoir about one mom's struggle with her lot in life and how she chose to deal with it using illegal drugs. It's told in a brave, clear manner with no careful wording. I loved reading more about Andy and was absolutely rooting for Wollenburg through it all." "At first, you don't understand Kim. Then you love her." "Kim illustrates with graphic detail and genuine emotion the pain of addiction as well as the sometimes circuitous path to recovery. This book is extremely well written. I wish I lived next door to this courageous mother, daughter, and woman of worth." "CRYSTAL CLEAN: A mother's struggle with meth addiction and recovery is an honest and transparent look at the world of meth addiction and recovery. As a reader, I was swallowed up into this world of addiction, pain, anger, and fear. Many times I wanted out -- I wanted to skip to the end of the book and be assured that this young woman was going to be okay. I applaud the author for her obvious courage in sharing her story and exposing her pain and allowing herself to be so vulnerable. The author's writing is superb -- strong imagery and an authenti

Book Synopsis Crystal Meth Addiction by : Brent Lewiki
Download or read book Crystal Meth Addiction written by Brent Lewiki and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystal meth is reported to be one of the most abused substances in the world. And although it isn't always easy to tell who is addicted to meth at first glance, given the statistics, it is very likely that you know someone who is. Crystal meth users are actually able to go about seemingly normal lives: They can maintain successful careers, or get decent enough grades to stay in school - at least until they get too deep into the addiction and it becomes too late. Now, if you are certain that you someone you love is abusing crystal meth, you may already realize that it's not going to be an easy journey to get them to overcome their addiction. This book is going to help you understand what your loved one is going through, and how to properly support them and help them get over the addiction. I will explain how to confirm whether or not someone is addicted to meth, and then what to do and - just as important - what not to do when talking to and relating to a user. You'll also learn when and how to get outside help, and exactly how to help a recovering addict avoid situations that could lead him back to the habit. Helping a loved one overcome an addiction is not an easy task, but it is a necessary one, and it all starts with knowing what to do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program is PATENT-PENDING and when the patent clears, it will be the first and only drug treatment program ever patented in the United States for meth and cocaine addiction. It will be the ONLY DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM ever available in book form, making this completely anonymous treatment in the privacy of your own home. This book is the answer. Please read the back cover for true testimonies that were unsolicited and believe that there were hundreds more that came to the websites that sold the original program. Never a single email received saying that the program was unsuccessful or had any flaws, just positive reviews saying "thank-you" for the help. This program is new, this is current, and this will work for anyone who reads and follows the entire book. The track record is solid and valid and being tested further always, so please read on.How to Quit Meth Now! Is a self-help guide to kicking any Cocaine or Methamphetamine addiction. It's an algorithm style drug treatment program that guarantees anyone who reads through the entire book and follows all of the instructions inside WILL BE DRUG FREE by the time they close the back cover and will have all of the tools to stay drug free for the rest of their life. Quit Meth Now! is the culmination of a 14 year study through trial and error that is the cure for drug addiction and takes the addict who is CURRENTLY USING meth or cocaine and teaches them how to first, let go and walk away, then teaches them how to self-detox with a 14 day program. The self-detox method uses several over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, vitamins, herbs and other products that reduce the withdrawal symptoms associated with drug addiction and treatment. During the process it teaches the addict several mind techniques that will help to counter all of the triggers that usually chase the addict back into relapse. Quit meth Now! is a cure and a final step that does not allow for relapse and ends the problem of addiction with simple mind games once the 14 day self-detox is complete. This is a full-service plan that attacks all of the spheres of influence that have been keeping the addict addicted for so long. Quit Meth Now! is the long awaited cure for addiction that will take the user on a long journey through all aspects of addiction and answer the questions of how, when and why they became addicted while also teaching them how to fix the problem permanently so that they can live a drug free lifestyle for the rest of their lives. This is the cure and this is the solution. This is a tried and true program in every sense and the QuitMeth program has a 100% effective rate over the internet for the past 10 years, as we did our research to make sure that this book was the final step that cures addiction, once and for all. We have been hiding from the world to create this program and this book is written in a style that speaks directly to the reader and teaches the truth through philosophical belief that the cure is within you because the power to cure a drug addiction is you. This is not a faith-based program in that it speaks directly to the addict in real terms and doesn't pass-the-buck by asking the reader to trust a higher power. Religion is always on one's own terms and has nothing to do with drug addiction. If you or anyone you know wants to kick a drug addiction right now, once and for all, you NEED this book. This program is also designed in a way that will supply an addict who is not interested in quitting with enough subliminal information on how to quit, that they will most likely decide to quit anyway within 6 months to a year, if they read all of the material. This book digs deep into the mind and takes away the ability of an addict to say that they're addicted because there is no way to quit...Drug addiction is NOT a disease my friends...and time is relevant. Peace!
Book Synopsis Tweaked: A Crystal Meth Memoir by : Patrick Moore
Download or read book Tweaked: A Crystal Meth Memoir written by Patrick Moore and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This candid memoir of addiction and recovery shares an intimate chronicle of life from Midwestern childhood to NYC's drug-fueled underground. Patrick Moore's account of life as a crystal meth addict combines heartbreaking honesty with rare insight and surprising humor. It chronicles a twenty-year trip stretching from Moore's lonely childhood in Iowa to the day he sits, naked, in a Los Angeles rental, hallucinating about psycho-robbers while talking to a possum he's sure is God. Along the way, there are acid trips at the V.F.W., Dexetrim study halls, teeth-grinding nights of dancing and anonymous sex in New York City's hottest eighties clubs. He takes pictures of Andy Warhol, loses friends and lovers, and navigates a Byzantine underworld of cookers, users, club kids, dealers, and colorful characters as intense as the drug itself. Through Patrick's vivid retelling, you'll meet Lee, the glamorous bad boy with a taste for danger; Tony, the tweaker who likes to remove his eyebrows; Ding-Dong, the Depends-wearing, nearly blind housemate; Hisako, the artist and squatter with a fondness for hot plate cooking; "Mother" Judy, the tough, butch rehab counselor who takes no prisoners, and countless others on the road from crystal meth hell to eventual sobriety.

Book Synopsis In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by : Gabor Maté, MD
Download or read book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts written by Gabor Maté, MD and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “thought-provoking and powerful” study that reframes everything you’ve been taught about addiction and recovery—from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Myth of Normal (Bruce Perry, author of The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog). A world-renowned trauma expert combines real-life stories with cutting-edge research to offer a holistic approach to understanding addiction—its origins, its place in society, and the importance of self-compassion in recovery. Based on Gabor Maté’s two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with people with addiction on Vancouver’s skid row, this #1 international bestseller radically re-envisions a much misunderstood condition by taking a compassionate approach to substance abuse and addiction recovery. In the same vein as Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts traces the root causes of addiction to childhood trauma and examines the pervasiveness of addiction in society. Dr. Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout—and perhaps underpins—our society. It is not a medical “condition” distinct from the lives it affects but rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs and behaviors of addiction. Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe, the book avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Dr. Maté argues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies toward addiction and how they perpetuate the War on Drugs. The mix of personal stories—including the author’s candid discussion of his own “high-status” addictive tendencies—and science with positive solutions makes the book equally useful for lay readers and professionals.

Book excerpt: A Very Fine House is an intimate memoir of a mother's Norman Rockwell family turned upside down by her daughter's descent into meth addiction and crime. Bright and beautiful, Annie is an unlikely candidate for meth. Living fast and hard on the streets of Bend, Oregon, she commits crimes against herself, the community, and her own family. The author chronicles her child's addiction in a way that other writers have not written about addiction. What begins as an obsession to save her daughter, and a rage against God for allowing drugs to devour her college-age girl, transforms into release in a life changing letting-go-and-letting-God moment. The reader is first introduced to the Stoefen family and Barbara's dream for its idyllic future. Kinks in the perfect life appear. When Annie's alcoholism, drug use, and criminality ensue, Barbara fights to save her. There is all-consuming grief and the devastating loss of not just her daughter, but her dream for her own life as well. Barbara eventually finds support and a new way of thinking. While she continues the battle to save her daughter, she ultimately finds the courage to save herself. The conclusion deals with Annie's recovery--and Barbara's. Both experience a spiritual awakening and are transformed. A new and better dream for Barbara's life is born.

Download or read book Chasing the Scream written by Johann Hari and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times Bestseller What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question--and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times, and inspired the feature film The United States vs. Billie Holiday and the documentary series The Fix. One of Johann Hari's earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family. Confused, not knowing what to do, he set out and traveled over 30,000 miles over three years to discover what really causes addiction--and what really solves it. He uncovered a range of remarkable human stories--of how the war on drugs began with Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer, being stalked and killed by a racist policeman; of the scientist who discovered the surprising key to addiction; and of the countries that ended their own war on drugs--with extraordinary results. Chasing the Scream is the story of a life-changing journey that transformed the addiction debate internationally--and showed the world that the opposite of addiction is connection.
Download or read book Shards written by Allison Moore and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “honest, introspective, and harrowing” (Kirkus Reviews) true story of a young female cop who almost loses everything in a downward spiral of addiction—a career she loved, colleagues who respected her, and the island that was once her personal paradise—before finally seeking redemption. As a beautiful, ambitious, and fearless young woman, Allison Moore had everything going for her: She had been the star student of her recruit class and was quickly promoted to vice cop at the Maui Police Department, while earning the respect of her colleagues and a stellar reputation. But when a doomed love affair with another cop led Allison to seek desperate escape, her life took a sudden and violent plunge. Using her position of authority and skills of manipulation, Allison hid her addiction from her lover and her department for as long as possible. She fabricated an elaborate story that she had cancer and needed to seek treatment on the mainland, while actually traveling to get a steady supply of meth from a brutal Seattle drug dealer. When her intensifying dependence on meth put her at the mercy of the ruthless dealer, he made her a prisoner in his house, subjecting her to unthinkable physical and sexual abuse, and monitoring her every move through a web of hidden surveillance cameras. Astounding, gripping, and astonishingly candid, Shards spares no detail of Allison’s horrific experiences and the tangle of addiction and betrayal that cost her nearly everything.
