Publisher's Synopsis
THIS PUBLICATION IS A RESULT OF THE DEDICATION OF THE AUTHORS, WHO ARE RECOVERING ADDICTS THEMSELVES, DOCTORS, PSYCHIATRISTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE TRUE VICTIMS OF ADDICTION - THE LOVED ONES & THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE ADDICT. WE CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS LOVE AND SUPPORT.
THIS PUBLICATION IS BASED ON OUR YEARS OF DEDICATELY WORKING WITH ADDICTS, DOCTORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE AIM TO BRIDGE THE GAP. THIS IS A SELF-ASSESSMENT GUIDE, THAT WHEN ANSWERED HONESTLY, DRASTICALLY INCREASES THE CHANCES OF A SELF-REALISATION, AND VISION OF A SPIRITUAL PATH, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ADDICT DOES NOT NEED TO RELY ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE ANYMORE. SMALL DISCLAIMER & A VOTE OF THANKS (WE ARE NOT LAWYERS - JUST RECOVERING ADDICTS) THIS BOOK IS NOT MEANT TO BE A REPLACEMENT OF ANY KIND FOR THE LITERATURE PRODUCED BY INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIPS SUCH AS ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS, GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS, SEX ANONYMOUS, SHOPAHOLICS ANONYMOUS, FAMILY ANONYMOUS - AND OTHER ASSOCIATED FELLOWSHIPS WHO HELP MILLIONS OF AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS DAILY.
