## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic and Insightful book
*by J***. on November 4, 2024*

Easy to read compared to other psychology books, and has really helped me understand myself and my addictive behaviors better. 10/10! I think this is an amazing book for anyone to read as well, not just codependents and addicts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very powerful and helpful for overcoming self delusion and sabotaging behavior
*by A***R on March 14, 2023*

This is a really wonderful book. Not overly elaborate, an easy read, but it simply and powerfully illustrates certain patterns of behavior and thinking that seem normal to someone engaging in them, as it is all they have known, but are actually maladaptive and can be shifted to healthier patterns. This book was a huge factor in my success, and I’ve taken a lot from it. Ordering it for the third or fourth time, anytime I lend it to someone I never get it back

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Addicts have a distorted self image and low self esteem!
*by B***S on November 18, 2010*

I've read a lot of books about addiction, but "Addictive Thinking: Understanding Self-Deception" by Abraham J. Twerski is the only one that describes me to a tee. Addicts are malfunctioning human beings whose thinking and concept of reality are severely distorted. Addictive diseases resemble schizophrenia in many ways. The addict may suffer from delusions, hallucinations, inappropriate moods, and abnormal behavior. I one point in my addiction, I thought that I was schizophrenic. I knew that something was horribly wrong with me, but it couldn't have anything to do with the massive amounts of drugs I was ingesting.According to Twerski, addicts have a distorted self-image and they all have extremely low self-esteem. Even though they may have many life-accomplishments and every reason to think highly of themselves, they still feel inferior. Addicts are also hypersensitive. They are emotionally sensitive to their environment the way a sunburn victim is sensitive to touch. Drugs and alcohol offer immense relief from this hypersensitivity, numbing the emotions that bring such discomfort.Twerski has also given me a better understanding of what is really happening when an addict reaches "rock bottom." Rock bottom is not necessarily an event, but a change of perception where sobriety is finally seen as more rewarding than continued use. This explains why I continued to use after my rock bottom experience. It took a while for my perceptions to change.Another new revelation for me was that many recovering addicts relapse because they mistakenly believe that life will be rosy once they've recovered. But life is a succession of peaks and valleys, a series of hurdles to overcome. I held this false belief until I read this. I'm guilty of thinking that my peace of mind is the most important thing I've got. But recovery is not about gaining peace of mind. It's about learning how to deal with those situations which threaten this peace. It's about living life on life's terms."Addictive Thinking: Understanding Self-Deception" is an in-depth explanation of what transpires in the mind of the addict. There is also a chapter that thoroughly explains co-dependency, so this book is a must-read for the family members of addicts also.David Allan ReevesAuthor of "Running Away From Me"
