Book Description
Do you love an addict or an alcoholic? Loving an addict is one of the most painful and traumatic life journeys that any sober-minded person can experience. Feelings of betrayal, powerlessness, anger, fear, desperation and raw grief are an ever constant companion. The person you love disappears as they chase their addiction. People who love an addict inadvertently get drawn in by the addict and their lives begin to revolve around the dysfunctional hell that the addict's life is. According to the World Drug Report, approximately 247million people worldwide were in active addiction during 2016. Statistics on alcohol abuse are not as easily determined because alcohol is a socially accepted drug. It is estimated that 1 in every 12 adults suffer from alcohol abuse and dependence. Alcohol is a drug. There is very little that separates the emotional pain and dysfunction that saturates your life whether you love an alcoholic or a drug addict. Both substances are mind-altering, both substances reprogram the human brain, both substances render the addict powerless over their addiction. The only person who can break an addict's addiction is the addict. No one can convince, force, coerce or threaten an addict to seek professional help. No one can love an addict into sobriety either. This book is about understanding and helping your loved one, and also about helping yourself. You can never 'learn' to live with an addict. You either come to accept the hard truth or you separate yourself from the addict. Separation can sometimes drive an addict to seek professional help, but it's no guarantee. Sometimes you have to just let go. This book will explain how your addict thinks; however, understanding alone does not mean that you can protect them and yourself. You also need the psychological reediness to act and face certain outcomes. Let me show you how.

Book Description
James Craig, M.D., had a thriving medical practice, a loving family, and a house becoming of his profession. And with all of this, it was not meant to last. At least not without change. A closer look revealed a body of lies and deceptions so engrained that he had nowhere to look but up as federal agents finally confronted Dr. Craig about false patients receiving controlled narcotics. Dr. Craig leads readers through the tumultuous upbringing that set a pattern for addiction, and then finally through the knowledge and understanding he discovered that broke the chains of his past. James shows readers how to overcome the past and how to be rid of projections for the future that needlessly destroy them today. By revealing overlooked workings of the human psyche, he shows you how to live in the present. For James Craig it was Being a Drug Addict, but the lessons he has learned will help anyone struggling with addiction. Dr. Craig dares everyone to try the changes outlined in this book. There is nothing to lose but some hopelessness, misery, and pain. James C. Craig, M.D. is a physician in private practice in Ellijay, Georgia, where he lives with his wife, Leslie, and son, Anderson. He received his undergraduate training at Emory University and medical school training at The Medical College of Georgia.

Book Description
Pages from the Soul of an Addict is just that-pages that were poetically written from the author's soul while being bound by the consuming chemical chains of crack cocaine. There are pages of despair, doom, and darkness. However, there are also pages of hope, deliverance, and light. The goal and main objective of this book is to minister to anyone who is still suffering and caught up in the deadly web of drug addiction and to give the nonaddicts a poetically painted picture of what it is like being a drug addict and what it takes for deliverance.

Book Description
In this book, I will share what to do and how to address the loved one or friend in addiction, and how to confront the addict and keep your sanity in the process. The person you once knew is not the same person now in addiction. Once in addiction, often the person's behaviors, moods, and character (being secretive, defensive, or lying) slowly change, although sometimes (but not often) this happens quickly. Soon, troubles in relationships, work, health, and financial and legal issues, to name a few, are present. We may not see all these issues in the beginning stages. I must emphasize and stress that you may simply put a "yet" behind each statement. Repeated use of drugs actually changes the brain, including the part of the brain that gives a person self-control. The one using the drug usually knows it's not good for them and may stop for a while, only to return to using once again. I wanted to stop for years. Every night I'd make the statement, "This is it; I'm stopping; tomorrow I want . . ." We need real talk and not clinical jargon on the subject of addiction. Out of the thousands I have met in addiction, I cannot recall a case where it (addiction) got better or the addict just up and permanently quit one day by choice or without help. How do we confront the addict successfully? How do we advise them and help them without getting pulled down ourselves? What is and isn't our part when trying to help? How we keep our sanity during this whole process of identifying, advising, and then seeking help is a question that needs real answers. This book provides those answers.
