Sept 12, 2015. A Helpful Reading List on ‘Addiction’.
Doing a lot of reading always on ‘Addiction’ and I thought it would be an idea to add a blog with a list of books I have found to be very helpful in understanding drugs and drug use. These books come from different angles including sociology, psychology, anthropology, testimonial, spiritual, and from social worker texts. Hope you find some of these readings helpful on your journey. I will try to log in every so often and keep adding to the list (they are in no particular order ( and of course the last one on the list is my own) ).
