Reddit mentions of Rewired: A Bold New Approach To Addiction and Recovery

Its a deeper problem. If you find it hard to put the weed down and fear being clean like the fear of losing a friend. If being in a state of sober boardem is unbelievably brutal, its probubly a deeper problem. I personaly dont know the deeper reasons, however the types of ways they have effect on people tend to follow a pattern. Wanting to isolate oneself from friends and loved ones to get high, or others who get high cuz they will want some of your stuff. Going through giant hoops to scoop a bag. Wanting to get high during to good times to celebrate, the bad times to get through it, and the normal times just cuz. There are others, but im not about to write a book about it here. Personaly i ordered a book on amazon ( there ) to find out more about my addiction. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1578265657/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_NXYCxbBC2HR69

You nailed it! It's how you answer the urge. One book I read put it best with explaining it's like battling a clone of yourself because your brain knows how to talk you into taking a drink - especially when things are good. That's where I have to really resist the hardest these days.

One book I found helpful that wasn't a long or tough read is Rewired: A Bold New Approach To Addiction and Recovery ($6.85). It helped give me some new insights and a lot of things to think about.

One thing that I really took away from the meetings is that each time you mess up and relapse, it gets harder and harder to earn back the trust of friends and loved ones. I've seen parents whose kids won't talk to them because they can't deal with it anymore and vice versa. I've also seen people tear up in meetings because people have let them back into their lives because of sobriety. We sometimes forget that we are hurting those closest to us more than ourselves.

As long as you focus one day at a time on setting a good example for yourself, you'll build confidence and momentum with each good decision you make going forward to continue down the path of sobriety.

I don't think you understand how addiction works. I recently read this book, which speaks a lot about how addiction isn't limited to drugs and anything can become addicting.
