What do you experience if you miss your morning coffee, your morning cigarette, or prematurely run out of your pain medication? Why are these chemicals so addictive? Do you have a loved one struggling with an addiction? Are you struggling with an addiction? Addiction is enslaving and killing our young people, devastating families, overstressing first responders and emergency room staff, and financially draining limited healthcare dollars. Addiction is a monster that needs to be understood and contained.

Fascinating review of the mechanisms of addiction
Revisado: 07-26-20
Although brief this book introduces the user to the mechanisms behind addiction. It can serve as a primer to more study, but is quite detailed on its own. This is not a book about how to specifically overcome addiction. It does admonish the reader (if addicted) to seek professional help. Because of the complexity of the issue, as outlined here, it may become more obvious that professional help is needed. Understanding neuroplasticity and brain changes may help reduce the stigma of addiction that in turn can reduce the likelihood of seeking help. Therefore for someone suffering from addiction the understanding gained here might enable them to move to the next level of recovery.
For the medical professional it is a handy summary of current thinking in addiction, reviewing mechanisms of the most common addictive chemicals. And it leaves 'em wanting more!
