A person\u2019s character is overthrown by addictive thinking: displacement, projection, shame, and hypersensitivity are addiction\u2019s survival mechanisms. With Addictive Thinking, both addicts and loved ones familiarize themselves with these addictive signatures and more, and begin the fight for recovery.<\/p>\n<p> With more than 200,000 copies of Addictive Thinking 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. \u201cStinking thinking\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p> It might be easier to point at abnormal behavior from an addict and simply think, \u201cthere she goes again.\u201d But there is reason and consistency underneath the pandemonium. If nothing is learned, if nothing is done, an addict\u2019s 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.    <br \/> <br \/>\n         From the Publisher                                     <\/p>\n<p>                                                                     <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mind\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-spacing-base a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/34505407-f453-4383-bcbe-418cdfb8e6db.__CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mind\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/34505407-f453-4383-bcbe-418cdfb8e6db.__CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">                                          <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"a-spacing-mini\"> A Detailed View of the Addicted Psyche <\/h3>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-base\"> A person might think they understand addiction inside-and-out, having lived alongside the disease and suffering the consequences for much of their life.
