Querer no es poder

The cause of addictions does not lie in drugs, but the desire to change our state of mind. That is why a full recovery essentially involves changing your lifestyle. Wanting is not being able to teach us to overcome all kinds of addictions by exploring their roots. It shows us why certain people are more vulnerable than others to developing addictive personalities, how our families and society can inadvertently foster addictions, and how we can learn to replace these destructive influences with positive, life-giving principles. Using examples drawn from their experiences in recovering addicts, Washton and Boundy will not only learn how to stay away from addictive substances or activities-cocaine or alcohol, gambling, sex, work, shopping-but also how to let go of them forever. It is not, therefore, a first aid manual: with this work we will be able to achieve substantial changes and ignite the flame of true hope.
