The End of My Addiction Book

I was skeptical when I first heard of this book. If this man had actually found a cure for his alcoholism, why wasn't it all over the news?

Answer: Because Big Pharma doesn't want to fund studies showing how baclofen (a generic drug normally prescribed for multiple sclerosis) is effective in reducing anxiety, cravings, and the obsession for alcohol and other drugs.

This was a well organized book, complete with relevant articles, abstracts, and a nice bibliography. This subject interested me so much (even though I am not an addict and actually do not know any addicts) that I went to PubMed and looked up some current articles concerning baclofen and addiction. I was pleased to see that progress is being made, albeit slowly.

This book was written for the layperson, so don't be scared that it's full of medical jargon. If you have any connection to addicts, or are just interested in biology, chemistry, psychology, addiction, or how our society treats addicts, you must read this book.

It truly lives up to the "amazing" rating I give it!
