Addicts: puzzling behavior a mystery, surprising new information

West Palm Beach – September 17, 2013 -  A pervasive social issue, addiction and addictive behavior could touch each and every one of us at some time in our lives. If the behavior of your alcoholic or drug addict is puzzling, then Understanding Addiction could bring a better understanding of them. Much of the new information in Christopher O'Brien's book might be surprising----- reducing the mystery surrounding our view of addiction. .

If the alcoholic or addict is your child, your life partner, a business associate, or even you; Understanding Addiction is intended to supplement what has already been learned from clinical and grass roots recovery (12 Steps and other groups).  It will assist in identifying the particular components and methods that continually improve the quality of recovery.

"For each person, there is a unique mix of influences, symptoms, and consequences.  This book might bring a better understanding  that could improve your ability to accept them, love them, and perhaps assist them in achieving recovery."
