Author: Whitfield, Charles L.

Condition: New

On the surface, this book is about a major part of people's recovery from alcoholism, other chemical dependence, and co-dependence. Below the surface, it is about a major part of anyone's recovery from dependence upon or attachment to anything, with recovery being but a model. Indeed, there are numerous conditions that cause suffering to our daily lives.Handling them can be viewed in a helpful way through the physical, mental and spiritual approach described in this book. To help relieve suffering, we can begin to view this suffering as related to our addictions - as the Western world often calls them, or our attachments - as the Eastern world tends to describe them. We become addicted or attached to the way we think things should be. This includes not only our physical possessions, but our relationships and even our personality. In this book I describe an approach to the successful recovery from alcoholism/CD that extends beyond abstinence. This approach is also helpful for the stress and suffering of the family of the alcoholic/CD.
