This book is all about the limitations we impose on ourselves by maintaining our ego and how to fix it in order to awaken to what we truly are. Our ego is simply a personal collection of beliefs adopted early in life to protect us from feeling unloved and unworthy. We created them to help us feel safe and secure. These beliefs spawn feelings and behaviors, which we call defense mechanisms or coping strategies. We each have become addicted to replaying these coping strategies whenever our beliefs are challenged. Employing these coping strategies and living defensively limits our happiness and masks our awareness of what we truly are. Of note, this addiction to ones ego is the root of all addiction. This book helps the reader to understand and change these beliefs, many of which they have outgrown, and more importantly, to experience what the fear-based ego can never engenderlove. Our willingness to give and receive unconditional love is our gateway to living authentically, fully present. Do you want to continue to live self-identified with your ego, or are you willing to move forward and awaken to what you truly are?

This book is more than it seems. In fact, some aspects of it will seem more like science fiction, but none of it is fabrication. It is the journey of a neurologist, a brain doctor, in his quest to understand himself. We are at the threshold of a paradigm shift in our understanding about the brain and mind. In particular, the mind is only in small part derived from the organic brain. This shift in our understanding will redefine how we consider brain (ego), mind (spirit) and heart-centered feelings. Today's scientific, diagnostic equipment does not measure the mind. As a result, attempts to understand the mind must come through explorations that are presently considered unorthodox or unscientific. However, revolutionary therapeutic technology has been developed and is described in this book. This technology aids us in realizing the greater perceptive capabilities of our mind and enhances our feeling nature, while simultaneously quieting the brain. One can experience the difference between brain function and mind lending further credence that mind and brain are distinct entities. This line of exploration has direct bearing on one of mankind's most basic questions, "What am I?" This book is by no means a philosophical treatise. It is a down to earth, example driven description of actual events and discussions that link mind and spirit and defines what we truly are. This book is also exceedingly well grounded in our everyday psychology and feelings. One of the inescapable truths to emerge is that we all have become unwittingly addicted to our ego, our false beliefs. This is the root of all addictions and a function of the brain. This is not what we fundamentally are and we needn't self-identify in this manner. For every problem there is a solution and it is clear that our mind offers us that solution. Learning how to transition from ego to mind is the key, not only to ridding ourselves of addiction, but to becoming authentic human beings. It's time to make this shift and change your world and mine.

EGO Addiction is a book to teach loving and successful behavior for improving peopleâs lives, health, and their careers. No one can make me or you feel upset, angry, mad, bad, sad, worthless, sick, unsafe, better, worse, worried, anxious, lonely, loved, or attacked. Other people seem to trigger our issues. This seems to make us feel like a victim and others the villain. But they donât do this; our ego does.The ego is an insane idea of Erasing Good Out of Our Good Life. It is an idea we made that our Creator could miscreate us, be flawed, less than perfect, and not loving like Himself. It is an idea that is so stupid and insane that we forget to laugh at it daily and give it value. It is the only thing that causes pain and problems in our life. The ego is the cause of all other addictions. It is the ego that lets us feel worthless. Success comes when we learn to master the ego by changing the way we self-talk, or our false projection on others and us.

What Richard Clark presents in The Addiction Recovery Handbook: Understanding Addiction and Culture is long overdue. Since 1939, Bill Wilson’s important and influential books, Alcoholics Anonymous and AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, have helped millions of people struggling with addiction to recover. In more than 80 years since then, a lot has changed: the definition of addiction, its demographics, social attitudes to addiction, politics, religious influence, treatment modalities, and the epidemiology of the illness. These have taken tolls on our modern network of relationships and treatment that culture and community now depend upon. The Addiction Recovery Handbook examines the changing historical views of addiction, outlines how this culture developed its contemporary perceptions and values, and how society contributes to this growing problem. Richard Clark proposes AA’s traditional religious model of God’s help-and-forgiveness can no longer address the needs of a diverse and largely irreligious society where atheism is becoming mainstream. His updated analysis of the traditional ‘AA’ approach proposes that self-understanding and awareness—through knowledge and education, psychology, and compassion, be the significant components of any recovery framework. This will guide both caregivers and addicts to develop expertise regarding more successful treatment and recovery protocols. This would be in a supportive environment of self-knowledge and mutual respect, whether theist or atheist. All concerned will acquire the ability to live a spiritual life, which is clearly defined. The Addiction Recovery Handbook is an interesting and readable book and is intended for everyone: addicts, medical professionals, counsellors, therapists, clients, sponsors, social workers, family members, partners, friends, employers—every stakeholder in a healthy, non-judgmental society that cares about the wellbeing of all its members.

In Honey's debut novel, a man must learn how to cope with his wife's heroine addiction while raising two daughters and being the mayor of Atlanta. Atlanta's mayor, The Honorable Josiah J. Bishop, has an addiction to his wife, Mink, that is just as powerful as her toxic love affair with heroin. As her life spirals out of control due to her obsession with the needle, his love and devotion to her is slowly shredding his soul into tiny pieces. But he just can't let her go. The brotha's loyalty to the love of his life and the mother of his two young, adorable daughters is deeper than any ocean. No matter how far Mink drags Josiah down into the murkiness of drugs, booze, and danger on the streets of the ATL, he's determined to love, cherish, and honor her until death. He's hooked on her. It's just that simple. The only thing Mink is faithful to is her next fix. She'll cop it wherever she can and by any means, trying desperately to escape from the secret demons of her past that haunt her daily. Mink's troubled soul remains a prisoner of addiction, twirling violently like a tornado and destroying everything in its path. Not even the love of a good man can set her free from emotional bondage. As Election Day approaches, Josiah's bid to serve a second term in City Hall is jeopardized when Mink commits her most heinous act. The media is going wild to cover the tragic murder and robbery of one of Mink's fellow addicts, a wealthy and prominent Hollywood filmmaker who was more than generous to her after she left yet another treatment facility. She's on the run from justice, ignoring Josiah's pleas to turn herself in. Mink realizes that she's at the end of her rope, but Josiah isn't sure if he has any more forgiveness in his heart for his wife. He will always love her, but finally, he desires love in return. His addiction to Mink has blinded him of that one basic need all this time. Now Josiah has a decision to make. Will he stay in the clutches of addiction to the drug called Mink? Or will he kick the habit once and for all and free himself forever?
