Whatever form it takes — alcohol, heroin, cocaine, nicotine, etc. — it tears apart homes and relationships, destroys careers and futures, and leaves loved ones asking: Why couldn't he stop once and for all? Or \"get better\"? Or control himself?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Despite everything that's been said and written, many people remain deeply confounded about these problems. The addiction-treatment field itself is in a state of civil war because there is no consensus on what addiction is, much less what to do about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Based on years of hard-won experience by a preeminent specialist in addictive behavior, \u003ci\u003eThinking Simply About Addiction\u003c\/i\u003e explains the core truth of addiction: It is not a neurosis, a physical malady, a behavioral choice, or, in the narrowest sense, a moral failure. It is an automatism — an involuntary, non-stoppable behavior that once triggered leaves the addict powerless. It is a human problem and a part of human nature. As such, it is something that we \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In four to-the-point chapters, \u003ci\u003eThinking Simply About Addiction\u003c\/i\u003e rises above the noise level and provides real-world help and new ways of thinking for addicts and those who care for them. Its insights are so profoundly clear and sensible that many readers will be able to say: \u003ci\u003eFinally, someone gets it\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cb\u003eRICHARD S.
