Summary: Addictive Thinking and the Addictive Personality
Comment: This book really made a difference in my life.
I'd always believed that my drug and alcohol use was recreational in nature until I read this book.
I found the basic root cause of both addictions and co-dependent behavior, low self-esteem, an eye opening experience.
And could clearly see where in my past when I'd not been in the thralls of addiction, I'd been behaving co-dependently.
Being able to admit to myself that I was an addict, made it possible for me to seek the right kind of help that's really
making a difference in my life. Caring for myself and being there for me! Do something kind and loving for yourself, Buy it and Read it.

Summary: Second half is superb, first half too narrowly defined
Comment: This book is actually two books put together as a set in a common binding. The first book, Addictive Thinking, was pretty much a rehash to anyone who has read anything about alcoholism and addiction. If you are completely new to trying to understand alcoholic addiction then it may have some value, but there are better books on that subject. It would have more accurately been named Addictive Thinking in the Alcoholic. On the other hand the second book, The Addictive Personality, was an excellent and broad reaching tome on addiction. It covers how addictions form, what they mean to the person, what the person is thinking, their fears, concerns and innermost turmoil. It not only applied to alcoholic addiction but food addictions, power addictions, sexual addictions, etc. If you truly want to understand how addictions form and what is really going on below the surface then this is one of the best books I have read on the subject.

Summary: The Best Book Since The "Big Book"
Comment: I realize many will be skeptical that a psych book could provide as much insight as AA's text book on the personality of the alcoholic or other addictions, but this book delivers! I've read the book more than once and find it remarkably simple and truthful on the nature of the disease process of addiction. It is 2 books in one and both authors provide information to any person suffering or interested in "why" any addiction is so incredibly difficult to break, as well as pointing to solutions, particulary those grounded in AA, to assist its readers. I cannot recommended highly enough.
