| Summary |
Millions of lives are lost to addiction every year, causing more direct and indirect deaths than any other illness. In a world where many things are uncertain, we do know this: There are many forms, but it's all the same addiction, an invisible hole--a felling that something is missing that can never be filled. Despite treatment and everything else we're doing, addiction is only increasing. Dr. Donna Marks, a renowned psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and teacher of A Course in Miracles, merges her professional experience and her own personal history of substance dependency to offer a single revolutionary solution to all addictions in this expanded and revised edition of Exit the Maze. No matter what someone is addicted to--alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs, smoking, working, gambling, and so on--loving yourself is the key to recovery. This doesn't mean the road is easy or a few acts of self-care will do the trick; the journey to true self-love includes delving deep into your past trauma to understand where your addiction originated, addressing those fear-based traumas with compassion and forgiveness, exchanging bad habits with beneficial ones, and staying committed to the recovery process. Allow love to guide you through the maze of addiction and back to living your best life. --from back cover |
