Book excerpt: Addiction is the most pernicious plague of our time. It is the cause of incalculable suffering both to the addict and to those who love them. Much of the suffering comes because of the hopelessness all feel as attempts to help oneself or others lead to repeated failure. And worse yet, much of what loved ones try to do to help often makes matters worse rather than better. Fortunately, a loving God foresaw our day and provided eternal wisdom far in advance. In Moroni's War on Addiction, New York Times bestselling author Joseph Grenny and his son, Seth Grenny, share their father and son story of descent into addiction and deliverance through study of Book of Mormon accounts of bondage and deliverance. Loved ones of addicts will find both comfort and counsel as they learn how the Book of Mormon hero Moroni assisted his countrymen in emerging from self-destructive choices. Those suffering in addiction will learn potent principles with which they can plan their own battle plan to regain freedom.

Download or read book Chasing the Scream written by Johann Hari and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "January, 2015 will mark a century of the war on drugs in the United States: one hundred years since the first arrests under the Harrison Act. Facing down this anniversary, Johann Hari was witnessing a close relative and an ex-boyfriend bottoming out on cocaine and heroin. But what was the big picture in the war on drugs? Why does it continue, when most people now think it has failed? The reporter set out on a two-year, 20,000-mile journey through the theater of this war--to find out how it began, how it has affected people around the world, and how we can move beyond it. Chasing the Scream is fueled by dramatic personal stories of the people he meets along the way: A transsexual crack dealer in Brooklyn who wanted to know who killed her mother, and a mother in Mexico who spent years tracking her daughter's murderer across the desert. A child smuggled out of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust who helped unlock the scientific secrets of addiction. A doctor who pushed the decriminalization in Portugal of all drugs - from cannabis to crack. The title itself comes from a formative story of Harry Anslinger, first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, sent as a boy to the pharmacy for a neighbor screaming in withdrawal -- an experience which led him to fear drugs without regard to context. Always we come back to the front lines in the U.S., where we instigated the war and exported it around the globe, but where change is also coming. Powerful, propulsive, and persuasive, Chasing the Scream is the page-turning story of a century-long mistake, which shows us the way to a more humane future"--

Download or read book War on Us How the War on Drugs and Myths About Addiction Have Created a War on All of Us written by Colleen Cowles and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good idea at one time, the consequences have been catastrophic. From physicians persecuted for providing health care to their patients to parents grieving the loss of their children to overdose or prison -- we've all become victims of this war. Our health, our families, our assets, our safety, and our freedom are at risk: One in three adults in the U.S. now has a criminal record. Patients with severe illnesses or chronic pain are denied access to proven pain medications. Over a trillion in taxpayer dollars in the U.S. alone has 'bought' the highest drug use, the highest overdose and the highest incarceration rates in the world. In War on Us, Colleen Cowles raises the alarm and offers practical, proven reforms. There are answers, as long as we have the will to implement change. It's time to end the War on Drugs -- and the war on all of us. This book is the roadmap to do just that.

Download or read book Like Dragons Did They Fight written by Maurice W. Harker and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bravely bridges the gap between the Spiritual and the Temporal (physical) factors of addiction and addiction recovery. It pulls the essential elements of many psychological theories and fits them into an eternal paradigm as can only be seen through the eyes of those who are inspired by God. The reader will be taken on a journey from seeing the battle from high in the heavens down to the gritty and sweaty clashing of swords a warrior must experience day to day. We live in a time when many are in bondage before they are aware that there is a war. As with many examples in world history, one cannot get out of bondage with just will power and thought control. Warriors must be trained, and then trained some more, in the classroom and on the field. They must learn, that in order to escape the bondage they find themselves in, as did warriors thousands of years before: Like Dragons Did They Fight!

Download or read book The War on Drugs the Worst Addiction of All written by Max Hartstein and published by Writer's Showcase Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a re-thinking of the destructive effects of prohibition, the so-called "War On Drugs". It shows the fallacies of our present policies and the impossibility of winning a war in which the government has taken both sides, one overtly and the other covertly. This book also shows the terrible destructive human price that we as a country are paying to sustain this ineffective, cannibalistic and destructive set of punitive laws we now live under. The war on drugs is the contemporary moral equivalent of the Spanish Inquisition, and it is as well a huge multi-billion dollar tax-payer subsidy to organized crime.

Download or read book The War on Drugs written by Christine D. Shuck and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part current affairs, part argument for legalization - The War on Drugs is a MUST READ for those who believe that the war on drugs only happens to "those people" in "that part of town." Written from the point of view of a wife and mother, The War On Drugs: An Old Wives' Tale examines the pros and cons of marijuana prohibition, drug diversion programs, and challenges the reader to define the nature of addiction and other pre-conceived notions. Early reviews have included: "Written with the humor of hindsight, yet the abject horror of getting caught in the cross fire of the so-called War On Drugs comes through with crystal clarity. For anyone that has any doubt about the truth of the matter, it becomes abundantly clear that the war on drugs is really a war on people, - good wholesome people that care for their children and make a positive contribution to their community. This is a must read. The War on Drug's: An Old Wives' Tale lays bare the absurdity of Marijuana Prohibition, the lies and injustice of our Legal System, and the unscientific, unethical nature of 'The Recovery Industry.' Read it. Believe it. And be warned." "I live in the county this book takes place in. I drive by the courthouse mentioned often. I never knew anything like this was going on in my area. It was devastating to read, but devastating in the way we need to be devastated in order for our nation to see progress. I appreciated the ability to step inside a real family going through this. That personal connection made the book feel relatable, and it was easy, as a fellow mother, to picture myself living this nightmare if my life had gone a different direction. The day by day format of the book works well for demonstrating the struggle as a daily battle rather than one big event. It was hundreds of bad events. Lots of bad policies, lots of injustice, lots of anger and fear. I highly recommend this to those who think drugs are something only found in 'that part of town' or that all those involved are 'that sort of people.' It's simply not true."

Download or read book Chasing the Scream written by Johann Hari and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and Updated The New York Times Bestseller What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari’s journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question--and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times, and inspired the feature film The United States vs. Billie Holiday and the documentary series The Fix. One of Johann Hari’s earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family. Confused, not knowing what to do, he set out and traveled over 30,000 miles over three years to discover what really causes addiction--and what really solves it. He uncovered a range of remarkable human stories--of how the war on drugs began with Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer, being stalked and killed by a racist policeman; of the scientist who discovered the surprising key to addiction; and of the countries that ended their own war on drugs--with extraordinary results. Chasing the Scream is the story of a life-changing journey that transformed the addiction debate internationally--and showed the world that the opposite of addiction is connection.

Download or read book The War Inside written by Jordan Northrup and published by Reddington Press. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With brazen honesty and self-reflection, Jordan Northrup tells the true story of how alcohol plagued his life for 14 years. Early on, he was holding the bottle. Alcohol became the means to fit in, to cope with hurt, and to overcome personal hurdles. Years later, the bottle held him in a death grip. He tried anything and everything to quit drinking, but nothing worked. He felt empty and alone. Alcohol cost him friends and relationships, a marriage, his self-respect, and almost his life. The War Inside depicts an ageless struggle: the war between God and sin that is fought on the battlefield of our hearts. Our sins and addictions seek to consume us, to define us. Too often we believe the lie that we can never be free of our struggles and vices. The Bible says otherwise! When God is allowed to lead, our hearts and motivations soon follow. This book is the story of one man's journey from alcohol abuse to sobriety. Even more, this book declares how God can bring a person from utter hopelessness to a place of grace, healing, and hope restored. True freedom from alcohol addiction is possible. Instead of self-help techniques and man-made solutions, Jordan Northrup shares his every-man perspective and points the reader towards a very real and personal God, the One who bestows a new identity on all who seek Him.

Download or read book Change Anything written by Kerry Patterson and published by Balance. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides? Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of Change Anything will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results. The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.
