Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself: What are my coping mechanisms to deal with anger stress, fear, frustration, loneliness and pain?, what are your escape or avoidance strategies? Are you overindulging with chocolates, exercise, supplements or medications, work? Addiction can be an illness we all share. Addiction is a complex condition that affects not only the person struggling with addiction, but their friends, family, and community. It can be hard to treat and even harder to understand. This book breaks down this multi-faceted condition by addressing the problems that people with addiction face, how loved ones cope with those closest to them struggling with addiction and how communities and society are affected by this disease. To understand addiction is to understand a problem that affects us on an individual level and a broader level addiction is an illness we all experience personally, among our community and in our society.
