Dr. Dodes describes how all addictions have, at their heart, unrecognized emotional factors that explain:Why we feel the impulseWhy we feel it when we doWhat alternatives (really) work in that critical momentIn this refreshing book filled with compelling case studies, Dr. Dodes debunks several such widely accepted myths as:Addictions are fundamentally a physical problem.People with addictions are different from other people.You have to hit bottom before you can get well.You are wasting your time if you ask "why" you have an addiction.

He contends that all addictions-from alcoholism to compulsive gambling to sexual addiction-have, at their heart, certain emotional factors that once understood can be successfully managed.
