Synopsis
The Underground Recovery Book is written to help those afflicted by addiction and the ones that love them. With so many people being directly or indirectly affected by addiction it would make sense that a practical, easy to read illustrated book would be available to help. However what is currently written is mostly not user friendly and full of misinformation. Sadly, the other addiction books available are created by academics or researchers; for other academics or researchers. What is missing is a bold in your face explanation of addiction, what it means to be an addict, and how to change and be drug * using methods that have academic and scientific validity. When I began working at an inpatient substance abuse treatment center, I noticed that the material being used was basic safe-as-milk-toast Hazelden approved literature. Copies of old copies were made and the material was so banal and uninspiring clients would constantly complain. In addition, many of the clients had reading disabilities and didn t like the long never-ending pages of text written with no emotion at a college level. Other books like the Alcoholism and Addiction Cure Book were also long uninspired reads. Finally, the handouts and books that were available in substance abuse didn t make solutions to addiction real. Family members also complained. They couldn t find a reader-friendly comprehensive book that explained the mechanics of addiction, family dynamics of addiction, and how they could assist rather than enabling the addict. Basically, what I had to work with was of no interest to the people who needed the help. With 2 million people entering inpatient substance abuse treatment yearly and millions suffering without knowledge of their illness, I decided I had to create my own. Finally, those suffering from America s dirty little secret would have a personable textbook to help them and heal them. This book contains chapters on: 1. Who is an addict 2. The are you an addict quiz 3
