Of course, your entitled to your opinion, but it is not an enlightened one.

Its not the science that convinced me that trauma is the root of addiction in many cases. I have known that for years. I lived it. That is why I wrote my book.

I can tell you that for the most part treatment professionals do not understand the traumatic roots of addiction or what to do about. They are stuck in a false “disease model” and erroneous ideas about a “brain disease”. It is a spiritual war and nothing less than that.

Your personal experience is not that different than the stories that any junkie or alcoholic tell. When they actual get involved in their own life and do the work that is required in the midst of all their history they will gladly tell the fools out their that it is not BECAUSE of their childhoods or anything else that they are drunks and junkies.

the fact that you are pimping your own book suggests that you still have grandiose thinking which tells me that you are still in victim mode.

You are looking for someone else to co-sign your b.s. Don’t expect it from me.

And since you know nothing of my childhood or my life today you can keep your opinion to yourself. I do not need to be ‘enlightened’ by a victim who continues to be victimized.
