Lately I've been reading In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate. It focuses more on hard drug addiction, but it's still been an interesting read.

I also recently tried Alcohol Lied to Me by Craig Beck, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. It feels like a very low-budget self-published book. There are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors, and the author kind of comes off as being very pompous. He also cites scientific research, but doesn't provide any sources, so the skeptic in me has to wonder how much he's making up. He also ends chapters with a screen-grab of someone's review of the book. I made it a ways into the book and put it down.

Interesting! I picked this up recently on a trip (see what I did there?) based on liking the author’s other books: How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence https://www.amazon.com/dp/1594204225/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_VO0.Bb483RSD1

Might be worth a read. I’ve noted a fair number of news headlines mentioning psychedelic research since I read the book, but that could just be because I’m aware of the subject now.

If you're not sure you can stop, I'll ask you this: are you powerless over alcohol? Once you start, can you stop and stay stopped? Has your life become unmanageable inside your mind and emotions? Has it become unmanageable because alcohol interferes with your home life, work life, and social interactions? If you are powerless and your life has become unmanageable and you can admit these things, that is the first step toward the solution toward recovery. Get a copy of the Big Book and take a look at whether AA might be the place for you. There are excellent recovery centers worldwide and AA meetings all over the world. Let me know if I can help. I'm here to support you.
