"The Freedom Model for Addictions" by Slate and Scheeren
This recent book has been helpful to me and I'd like to mention its availability in case it would help anyone else.
Rather than try to summarize the model and the background information and discussion that the authors provide, I should allow others to look it up if interested and determine for themselves whether it might be helpful to them.
This was the thread topic. I've seen a few complaints that AVRT has taken over the Secular Forum and members who don't wish to follow that method feel uncomfortable posting here now. Our suggestion was to start their own threads on the topics they wish to discuss. It's important that everyone respects the topic of the original poster. No one wants to feel bullied into following something they might not agree with.
