Book excerpt: #UNADDICTED In his years of engaging with teenagers and young adults, the question Joseph has been most frequently asked is on overcoming sexual addictions--especially pornography and masturbation. This book brings together in one volume Joseph's liberating thoughts on how to do this, sharing unreservedly from his journey through the same struggles. The book is easy-to-read and has been a helpful resource for many teenagers and young adults. Recommendation We shared this book with two members of our church's youth ministry. To the glory of God, they found it very helpful. One of them shared with us how, by the help of the Holy Spirit, prayers and the liberating truth from the book, he lost the desire to indulge in his addiction. We heartily recommend this book. -- Pastor and Mrs Adelegan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Testimony from a Reader: I had the privilege of getting the electronic version of this book as a free gift. It has brought great joy and freedom to me. The night I downloaded the book, I finished reading it, because I've always longed for help in my struggle against pornography and masturbation. Every preacher I listen to seem to be silent about it. My struggle has been ongoing a long while. Even though I knew it was bad, I found it difficult to stop. The times when I thought I had freedom, it was always short-lived. Finding confidence to share with you that this has become a broken chain brings great relief to my heart. Thank you for being sincere. Thank you for yielding to the call. Thank you for the light you have shined to my darkness. Reading the book has opened my eyes to the victory God has given me which I'm expected to walk in. I have never seen it in the way you brought it. Even though I longed to stop, and did put in certain measures to curb my exposure, I knew I needed something more. I found it in this book. As I yield more and more to God, my fleshly desires die. As I walk more and more in obedience in line with God's Word, the more I am in tune with Him. I covet your prayers. I long for a time when God will grant me a platform to share the light with others tied in these chains as well. I write to let you know that the labour invested in your posts which led to this book was not in vain. It's growing. It has birthed a seed and it will continue to grow and reach many more. Amen. I have come to share my testimony in faith declaring the victory long given to me. I am still reading the book over and over again and the more I read, the more I see God helping me overcome in my daily life. Grace to you. -- Funminiyi, Nigeria

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us have things about ourselves we'd like to change. Maybe you want to be more organized or more outspoken, healthier or thinner. Or perhaps you want to quit smoking, work more efficiently, be a better listener, or a better leader. Whatever you want to change, you probably believe that your success depends on your conviction. The fact of the matter is, willpower alone won't get you to change. Noah Blumenthal illustrates how each of us becomes so thoroughly conditioned to act in old, counterproductive ways that negative behaviors become part of our very being. In a very real sense we become addicted to ourselves. The problem, he explains, isn't that you aren't trying hard enough, but that you've never learned the right way to make difficult changes. Here, he details a proven three-stage strategy--illuminated with practical tools, techniques, and exercises--for breaking self-addictions and conquering damaging behaviors like anger, workaholism, risk aversion, procrastination, overeating, under-exercising--just about anything. We all want to change our counterproductive behaviors. Here, Blumenthal offers a step-by-step guide for how to do it successfully.

Download or read book Addiction written by Jon Elster and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1999-10-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addiction focuses on the emergence, nature, and persistence of addictive behavior, as well as the efforts of addicts to overcome their condition. Do addicts act of their own free will, or are they driven by forces beyond their control? Do structured treatment programs offer more hope for recovery? What causes relapses to occur? Recent scholarship has focused attention on the voluntary aspects of addiction, particularly the role played by choice. Addiction draws upon this new research and the investigations of economists, psychiatrists, philosophers, neuropharmacologists, historians, and sociologists to offer an important new approach to our understanding of addictive behavior. The notion that addicts favor present rewards over future gains or penalties echoes throughout the chapters in Addiction. The effect of cultural values and beliefs on addicts, and on those who treat them, is also explored, particularly in chapters by Elster on alcoholism and by Acker on American heroin addicts in the 1920s and 1930s. Essays by Gardner and by Waal and Mørland discuss the neurobiological roots of addiction Among their findings are evidence that addictive drugs also have an important effect on areas of the central nervous system unrelated to euphoria or dysphoria, and that tolerance and withdrawal phenomena vary greatly from drug to drug. The plight of addicts struggling to regain control of their lives receives important consideration in Addiction. Elster, Skog, and O'Donoghue and Rabin look at self-administered therapies ranging from behavioral modifications to cognitive techniques, and discuss conditions under which various treatment strategies work. Drug-based forms of treatment are discussed by Gardner, drawing on work that suggests that parts of the population have low levels of dopamine, inducing a tendency toward sensation-seeking. There are many different explanations for the impulsive, self-destructive behavior that is addiction. By bringing the triple perspective of neurobiology, choice, and culture to bear on the phenomenon, Addiction offers a unique and valuable source of information and debate on a problem of world-wide proportions.

Download or read book Recovery written by Russell Brand and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food and eBay, that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first steps into recovery “This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain but from the mud...My qualification is not that I am better than you but I am worse.” —Russell Brand With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his fourteen years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering along the full spectrum of addiction—from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work, stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “Why are you addicted?” but "What pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running—into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong person’s arms?" Russell has been in all the twelve-step fellowships going, he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and a practiced yogi—and while he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a recovery plan, but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.

Download or read book Unhooked written by Susan Shapiro and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is smoking, alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, the Internet, or sex addiction holding you back from getting what you want most—in work and in love? We’re all addicted to something—but when the crutch gets in the way of living a happy and productive life, it must stop. Over the past twenty-five years, renowned addiction therapist Dr. Frederick Woolverton has used his dynamic, empathetic approach to help thousands of addicts achieve long-term recovery—including himself. He sees the specific habit as less important than the underlying chaos and fear that motivate the urge to sooth ourselves with bad habits. The solution, he has found, requires only a better understanding of yourself and a change in attitude. Unhooked: How To Quit Anything is an intelligent, readable, and actionable guide to conquering any addictive habit. Using real patient examples as well as research and his own experience, Dr. Woolverton and coauthor (and former patient) Susan Shapiro show how to thrive without self-medicating. The approach involves an unorthodox blend of straightforward changes to behavior and open and honest conversation with another person. Woolverton’s specific instructions do not require an expensive therapist, rehab, 12-step program, or a higher power (but he does make readers aware of those viable options). Let him help you kick your addiction and find what’s missing in your world. When you conquer a toxic habit, you are leaving room for something more beautiful to take its place.
