Love and addiction
"Nothing highlights the complexities of addiction more than love, which is the opposite of addiction," the authors say. As we declare in the book "Love and Addiction": Interpersonal addiction - love addiction - is the most common and least known form of addiction. Shining a spotlight on it helps us break down the "drug addict" stereotype and better understand the way addiction affects us all. On the other hand, the opposite of addiction is a true connection to the world, and there is no stronger expression of this connection than love, or a true response to another person." This book illustrates, through engaging stories, the essential similarities between love addiction and drug addiction, including the emergence of withdrawal as a "real" consequence of a breakup, an idea that seemed to people at the time, and to many even now, highly implausible. The book then moves on to love relationships that caused their owners to become addicted to drugs, how addiction is transmitted from one drug to another, and how social and cultural differences play a role in the effects of drugs. Healing brought about by natural developments in a person's life, that's actually what Love and Addiction was designed to help people do. Love and Addiction was way ahead of its time when it was first published, and is now known as "the indispensable classic about addiction." This is its first Arabic translation, a gift from AFAC to our dear readers.
