A person's character is overthrown by addictive thinking: displacement, projection, shame, and hypersensitivity are addiction's survival mechanisms. With \u003ci\u003eAddictive Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e, both addict\u003ci\u003es\u003c\/i\u003e and loved ones familiarize themselves with these addictive signatures and more, and begin the fight for recovery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With more than 200,000 copies of \u003ci\u003eAddictive Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e sold worldwide, the eminent Abraham Twerski, M.D., outlines the destructive and terrifying illogic that marries a person with a substance use disorder to his addiction. \"Stinking thinking\" and irrational thought are byproducts of addiction and they only worsen with time. Twerski, with a deep psychological understanding, steps in to explain and contextualize all of the actions that arise from addictive thinking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It might be easier to point at abnormal behavior from an addict and simply think, \"there she goes again.\" But there is reason and consistency underneath the pandemonium. If nothing is learned, if nothing is done, an addict's rock bottom will continue to sink. By educating oneself about the addictive illogic and its reasoning, one will understand why the person behaves as she does and how everyone in her life becomes controlled by addiction. Then control can be taken back.","brand":"Hazelden Publishing \u0026 Educational Services","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51937432600807,"sku":"9781568381381","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_b3ab0837-8196-4ef5-a340-8a18014a656f.jpg?v=1775009528","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/addictive-thinking-understanding-self-deception","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
