Transcending Addictions and Other Afflictions, (Second Edition), with over 30 illustrations and diagrams, is the newest version of this book of worldwide popularity. This Second Edition adds, to the already highly valuable and practical material of the First Edition, a whole new and broader understanding of both drug/alcohol and non-drug addictions. TRUE PERSONAL CHANGE HAS SO MANY ASPECTS: PHYSICAL, NUTRITIONAL, SOCIAL, SPIRITUAL, MENTAL -- EVEN CELLULAR. Only change on all levels can break or rewire a problem addiction to a substance, a behavior, an emotional pattern, or a state of mind. In this new second edition of TRANSCENDING ADDICTION AND OTHER AFFLICTIONS, Dr. Angela Browne-Miller maps the life management and state of mind & spirit management steps involved in making both minor and major change on all levels. These steps work together to bring about a shift in personal patterning. This is the newest edition of this book which builds new information regarding addiction onto the founding material found in the first edition. Among the many addictions and habits that can be addressed by the steps in this book are: alcohol, drug, smoking, marijuana, gambling, gaming, Internet, pornography, sex, love, relationship, eating, work, self-mutilation, nail biting, and many other addictions and habits. Note that just about any behavior that becomes both problematic to self or others (even dangerous) and out of hand (difficult to control or resist) is a problem addiction in some way.

FOR KNOWING NO HURT NO HARM delves into the actual and frequently quite obscure (sometimes even secret) nature of intimate partner abuse and violence. Hidden, subtle, and even obvious aspects of this abuse in all its forms are discussed, portrayed, even revealed -- taking the discussion of partner abuse deeper to finer levels of analysis, beyond existing understandings. We may have to ask ourselves: What's love got to do with it? How do some (not all yet indeed some) partners, spouses, lovers, even causal dates, find themselves abusing each other? What is really taking place in these relationships? Right before our eyes, yes, this is abuse taking place. Some of this abuse is quite obvious. Much is quite subtle, even hidden -- hidden either unwittingly or yes, sometimes hidden purposefully. Violence takes many forms, ranging from non-physical emotional, verbal, social, economic, and other perhaps harder to identify, even covert, forms to physical, ranging from threatened abuse to actual abuse and even terror. Even physical abuse can range widely, from pushing to hitting to striking in other ways, to causing no or mild injury to moderate or great injury, even disability and death. All involved are affected in both the short and the long term, including the persons being abused, the persons doing the abusing, others who are also being abused by one or both of the abusing and abused partners, as well as the witnesses, children, other family members, neighbors, employers, co-workers, communities, societies.

PROXY WAR Volume One: Phantom War Trilogy Written by E.L. Speed Foreword (Introduction) by Dr. Angela Browne-Miller "Proxy War immerses us in a fascinating yet chilling, romantic yet troubling story of love, war, heroism, confusion, and intrigue. Against the disturbing backdrop and hidden truth about the Vietnam War, E.L. Speed's fascinating piece of historical fiction, Proxy War, tells the tale of two dishonest and strong willed presidents, a young diplomat on the brink of treason, and its star protagonist, a naval aviator and war hero. This hero, living the moral dilemma of the period, is increasingly and dangerously conflicted about his role in the War. Nevertheless, he puts his life on the line daily as he fights a Proxy War in the skies over Vietnam. Modern warfare and international affairs teach us that a proxy war is a particular type of war, a war played out in someone else's backyard in hopes of keeping it away from home.... "Proxy War is indeed far, far more than a war story. This is the timeless story of the search for honor, truth, and dignity - all in the context of an intensely controversial war and a perilous global Cold War reality, both landmark predicaments of those times. The reader glimpses death as an acceptable solution but only if it is not meaningless. Duty, a rather complex psychological phenomenon, provides the key to understanding choices made, such as the choice to continue fighting while questioning war's very raison d'etre."
