V.K. Ramsey's very personal book approaches addiction recovery in a new and very different way, from what addicts or their family members, as well as codependents have been offered so far. He clearly highlights that fighting with, and eventually facing addiction, is something that deserves all respect, support and love! His supportive approach was created and continues to develop over almost twenty years, and being a recovered addict himself, stems from his personal experience of isolation with his pain and being labeled as a hopeless case, who was very much left to his own devises. His research is wide-spread and in-depth, his unwavering care in suggesting an array of ways to help oneself as an addict heart-warming, his quest to uncover the truth behind one's pain as well as the root-cause of an addiction is relentless, and his courage to share his own journey, write about self-love, mindfulness as well as compassion, is inspiring! Attempting to find the right approach towards healing an addiction, it starts with, that addiction is not a disease, contrary to what everyone might have been told or to what more or less every author suggests and continues to find a solution and offers effective recovery strategies. Stating that addiction, in its essence, is a bio psychosocial disorder and as such, requires clear understanding and a holistic treatment, the author finds it imperative that anyone who suffers from addiction needs to be treated simultaneously on the mental, emotional, physical as well as spiritual level. Why? Because he rightly uncovers that the widespread 'disease model' of addiction does not solve the problem and worse, dehumanizes the individual. Yet when one tries to really understand addiction as a behavioral disorder, which ignited into existence through suffering and pain, one can finally treat it effectively and achieve the long term results every addict truly hoped for!
