Description
Abraham Twerski reveals how self-deceptive thought can undermine self-esteem and threaten the sobriety of a recovering individual, offering hope to those seeking a healthy and rewarding recovery. Addiction brings about a negative change in thinking and behavioral patterns, where a person's character is overthrown by addictive thinking, including displacement, projection, shame, and hypersensitivity. This book explains the destructive and terrifying illogic that marries a person with a substance use disorder to their addiction, outlining the reasoning behind irrational thought and "stinking thinking". By understanding the actions that arise from addictive thinking, individuals can gain insight into why they behave in certain ways and how those around them become controlled by addiction.
