Who Says I'm an Addict?

Do you worry that you drink too much? Or perhaps you fear that your dependence on drugs, food, sex or some other vice is spiralling out of control, and taking your quality of life with it?

In Who Says I'm An Addict? , David Smallwood looks at the issue of addiction with compassion, clarity and wisdom, which comes not only from his own difficult journey with addiction, but from his experience overseeing treatment programmes at rehab centres such as The Priory.

In this book, David examines addiction in detail - what it is, how it works and the many forms it can take, from alcohol and drugs, to sex, sugar, shopping and social networking. He considers denial, how your early life influences your later years and what happens when you hit rock bottom. Finally, David looks at the road to recovery, including effective methods for tackling addiction, avoiding relapse and laying demons to rest so that you can start to rebuild your life.
