With food, drug, alcohol, and pornography addictions increasing, this timely book stresses that breaking free from addiction is not something one can do alone. Readers will learn that addiction is really an attempt to provide immediate control of real needs (purpose, unconditional love, security), and to avoid the reality of feelings and life. This in-depth look at addiction addresses the cause and effects, while offering encouragement and practical guidelines for those who want to truly break free.
