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.

Book Description

Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Book Description

A detective and a self-help guru search for a judge’s kidnapped daughter in this romantic suspense novel by a New York Times–bestselling author. Self-help superstar Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown have finally given in to their overwhelming attraction to each other, but neither of them is ready to let physical passion turn into full-blown romance, so they carefully maintain an emotional distance. Then a judge’s daughter disappears, and Mason has a terrible sense that it’s connected to the most recent case they solved together: the abduction of Rachel’s assistant. The discovery of a string of missing women—all young, all troubled—seems like a promising lead. But there’s no clear connection between the missing girls and the high-profile young woman Mason is trying to find. He realizes that once again he must rely on his own well-honed instincts and Rachel’s uncanny capacity to see through people’s lies to catch a predator and rescue his captives. But can they do it before Rachel becomes the next victim? Praise for Wake to Darkness “In this thrilling follow-up to Sleep with the Lights On, Shayne amps up both the creep factor and the suspense. She continues to build on the sexual tension between the main characters, fostering a humming anticipation that builds as the story unfolds. She pairs this with an intriguing plot that will have readers guessing till the last page.” —RT Book Reviews

Book Description

Through the vivid, true stories of five people who journeyed into and out of addiction, a renowned neuroscientist explains why the "disease model" of addiction is wrong and illuminates the path to recovery. The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease, and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing. Lewis reveals addiction as an unintended consequence of the brain doing what it's supposed to do-seek pleasure and relief-in a world that's not cooperating. As a result, most treatment based on the disease model fails. Lewis shows how treatment can be retooled to achieve lasting recovery. This is enlightening and optimistic reading for anyone who has wrestled with addiction either personally or professionally.

Book Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An up-close portrait of the mind of an addict and a life unraveled by narcotics—a memoir of captivating urgency and surprising humor that puts a human face on the opioid crisis. “Raw, brutal, and shocking. Move over, Orange Is the New Black.”—Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie When word got out that Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she’d committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she’d been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends—their friends—were the ones who’d arrested her. A raw and twisty page-turning memoir that reads like fiction, High Achiever spans Tiffany’s life as an active opioid addict, her 120 days in a Florida jail where every officer despised what she’d done to their brother in blue, and her eventual recovery. With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease—whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

Book Description

People ask Kelly Osbourne all the time: “What’s your secret?” Kelly Osbourne may not always have been a typical role model, but no one can say that her perspective isn’t hard won after spending three decades in the spotlight: from growing up completely exposed to the heavy metal scene—replete with crazy antics most readers have only begun to hear about—to spending her teenage years as the wild middle child of an even wilder Ozzy Osbourne, to the family’s popular stint on their wacky eponymous reality show. Since then, Osbourne has forged her own path as a style icon and powerful woman in the media who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and be honest with her fans. But being the daughter of a music legend hasn’t always been glamorous; growing up Osbourne is an experience that Kelly wouldn’t trade, but there are battle scars, and she is finally now ready to embrace and reveal their origins. Told as a series of letters to various people and places in her life, There Is No F*cking Secret gives readers an intimate look at the stories and influences that have shaped Osbourne’s highly speculated-about life, for better or for worse. The stories will make readers’ jaws drop, but ultimately, they will come away empowered to forge their own path to confidence, no matter how deranged and out of control it may be, and to learn the ultimate lesson: that there just is no f*cking secret.

Book Description

You Are Only Innocent Once, and Once Is Not Enough shows how one man manages to break free of the recidivism cycle and maintain his freedom by going to college while in prison and achieves unparalleled success after his release. A former drug abuser and ex-felon, Martin Terrell is arrested for a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to six to twenty-five years in prison. His claims of innocence are dismissed by all who know him because of his past record. Forced to face the injustice alone, he vows to write a new life story, one that no longer fits the story he'd written as a youth in Cincinnati. Inside again, he manages to control his environment to his advantage and attends the college program offered by the Chillicothe Correctional Institution and Ohio University. Five years later, he graduates summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree. In an unprecedented move, he is awarded a graduate scholarship to the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University upon his release. The rest of the book follows Martin's new script as it unfolds through graduate school at OU and his following career. He becomes the coauthor of a textbook while still a master's student. After working for two years as a member of Ohio University's development office, he is appointed the assistant dean for development in the College of Arts and Sciences. With stops at Florida State University and eventually the United Negro College Fund, he becomes his own man as the vice president and campaign manager for development at Stony Brook University in New York. In this age of civil unrest with its focus on civil injustice and an unjust criminal justice system, You Are Only Innocent Once, and Once Is Not Enough offers a strand of redemption. The story of a man unfairly stripped of his freedom, primarily because he's black and has a previous record, contains all the elements that are under assault for criminal justice reform and penal reform. Martin's use of education to win a victory over that injustice gives us a success story that anyone can identify with.
