Addiction

Addiction: Am I Powerless is the first step in determining if a chemical/substance problem really exists. Addiction: Am I Powerless is the most comprehensive self-assessment tool ever devised to measure Powerlessness. This book brings together, for perhaps the first time, a standard for the measurement of Powerlessness via the development of a "Powerlessness Syndrome." It examines the issues of "Loss of Control" and "Unmanageability" as they relate to the use of a mood altering chemical. Addiction: Am I Powerless has been written by a front line clinician with 3 decades of experience in the addiction field; written to help you determine if you need to make any changes to your level of use. It has been created as a tool to personally measure the seriousness and severity of a chemical use problem; in the privacy of your own home. It's the most thorough method available to examine the issue of powerlessness without leaving behind a public health record that might follow you for the rest of your life. It identifies and instructs the reader on what issues to examine and how to examine them. It walks the reader through the discovery process in a heartfelt way but it does not shy away from the serious truth of the matter. It is an objective view of what it means to suffer with the problem many people call addiction. It is the first step towards understanding your own behaviors and freeing yourself from the shame and guilt of substance use.
