Presents a variety of effective tools to break the cycle of
addiction. Addiction is a worldwide curse that seems to be growing
in seriousness on a yearly basis. While to the general public
addiction may seem almost inescapable, the truth is that there are
solutions to overcoming the various addictions, though to date they
seem more elusive than attainable. The goal of Escaping Addiction
is to highlight the variety of causes of addiction alongside an
array of useful tools anyone can use to break the cycle of
addiction, whether it’s to alcohol, drugs, food, or video games.
The seeds of addictive behavior are often planted in childhood then
fed to grow over years of the input and reward cycle. Detaching the
rewards from the addictive input is key to breaking the habits that
keep us addicted. Here, the authors present the variety of
treatments – from medications to therapeutic approaches – that
can help. Offering a better understanding of the mechanisms of
addiction, this book can help anyone struggling with addiction to
unravel it in their own lives.
