This book comprises an eclectic approach of western psychology, Buddhist philosophy and personal anecdotal experience of Dr Greens journey to freedom from addiction. It aims to assist those with emotional pain and addictive behaviour to reach a state of awareness so that they too can be released from their suffering. It is designed to help the reader absorb the principles and practices needed to obtain and maintain freedom from addiction. Old habits die hard, and as long as they are perceived to be enjoyable, whether deluded or real, the addiction will persist. Knowledge, awareness and particularly painful feelings that begin to erode our non-reality alert us to our suffering. In some cases, unfortunately or maybe fortunately, our emotional suffering coupled with addictive behaviour can reach a point where the addiction becomes pathological or full-blown. We cannot continue with the addiction short of becoming very sick or dying. At this point, some individuals prefer death rather than surrender their addictive thinking and behaviour.Armed with three postgraduate qualifications including a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counselling specializing in Drug and Alcohol Criminology, 40 years of medical experience, 15 years of study of Buddhist philosophy and counselling, and her own personal experience of alcohol addiction, Dr Green decided to write this book to help others.
