The Addiction Process

About the Book

This book came out of a series of lectures given to participants in a chemical dependency treatment program. It is a provocative and powerful book that illuminates the hypocrisies and inequities in the laws and values in our society surrounding alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and addiction. These inequities stem from the lack of knowledge of the underlying addiction process on the part of our institutions and the general public.

The author challenges the very foundation of our cultural values and shows us how these values give birth to an addiction process that permeates thinking throughout our family, religious, governmental, and educational institutions. This distorted thought system perpetuates a state of fear which polarizes society in an us against them mentality, and an attitude of any means justify the end
