Addiction comes in many forms. It isn’t just alcohol and illegal drugs. It can include, food, sex, TV, cell phones, internet, and a whole host of things. In Healing the Scars of Addiction by Gregory L. Jantz he takes you on a journey of healing addiction no matter what type it is. I love that fact that he includes in this book what addiction is according to ASAM. I found this helpful. I realize that I do have an addiction to food. I use food to soothe me when I’m having a frustrating and chaotic day. I decided to talk to my counselor about it and it helped me to open up to the possibility of addiction and how to heal from it.
This is an excellent book to learn about addiction and how to proceed with healing. I recommend this for the addict and those who love an addict.
