�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Nobody has had an answer for why people with addictions continue to repeat them -- until now.

For more than twenty years, distinguished psychiatrist Dr. Lance Dodes has been successfully helping people master their addictions -- alcoholism, compulsive gambling, smoking, sexual addiction, and more with a radical approach. Dr. Dodes describes how all addictions have, at their heart, unrecognized emotional factors that explain:

Why we feel the impulse
Why we feel it when we do
What alternatives (really) work in that critical moment

In this refreshing book filled with compelling case studies, Dr. Dodes debunks several such widely accepted myths as:

Addictions are fundamentally a physical problem.
People with addictions are different from other people.
You have to hit bottom before you can get well.
You are wasting your time if you ask "why" you have an addiction.
