New York Times bestselling author Christopher Kennedy
Lawford revisits addiction in his latest book, What
Addicts Know, this time framing the discussion in an
entirely new way—the lessons addiction and recovery offer to
those of us who haven’t battled addiction.
For too
long, society has considered addicts as an unfortunate group
that faces incredible and unique challenges. The reality is
that the challenges of the addict are faced—to a greater or
lesser extent—by all of us.
In a “more is better”
society, it’s indisputable that we’ve all experienced
cravings and denied the truth about our destructive
behaviors—traits shared by addicts who’ve successfully
overcome them. What Addicts Know offers the coping
and wellness skills necessary to overcome life’s obstacles
and self-improvement tips for everything from conquering an
unhealthy consumption of junk food, to overcoming toxic
relationships. These techniques are not just for addicts;
they are for all of us.
No one until now has related
the lessons and life skills that can be drawn from the
collective experience of people in recovery from addiction,
particularly the ways those lessons or principles can be
used by those in the broader non-recovery community. In
What Addicts Know, Lawford recounts the inspiring
stories and wisdom of recovering addicts, combining them
with cutting-edge scientific findings to give hands-on,
practical techniques for recognizing unhealthy impulses and
managing them.
If you’re ready to change for the
better your habits, your frame of mind, your relationships,
your community, and your life, What Addicts Know is
the resource that will educate and inspire you along the way.
