ADDICTION, SPIRITUALITY, AND CULTUREAddiction is a complex obsessive, compulsive, and possessive disease of a total human biopsychosociotechno spiritual nature. Whatever addiction touches, it destroys.

Addiction is a complex obsessive, compulsive, and possessive disease of a total human biopsychosociotechno-spiritual nature. Whatever addiction touches, it destroys. Addiction is all around us as anyone, irrespective of the race, culture, religion, social status, economic status, and intelligence, can be addicted to anything or anyone. We are all vulnerable to the plague of addiction. Yet not everyone will be addicted to the same thing no matter the strength of its addictive nature. Hence, the fundamental questions raced in the field of addiction studies: Why are some people addicted to a substance or behavior and some others are not? Is addiction about the substance or about the person? Why are all children of a person with alcoholism not suffering from alcoholism? Why is it that many persons who receive treatment relapse and some who never receive any clinical treatment were able to stop drinking or using? Is addiction a disease, a lack of will, a moral failure, or disconnection from God? All these point to the complexity of addiction.

This book is a study manual and a helpful resource, written to help students in addiction studies understand the dynamics and complexity of addiction and addiction treatment. It is to help them have a hand on information on the holistic view of addiction from a biopsychosociotechno-spirituality. That is, addiction is not only a disease of the brain which can only be treated with medication, but also a spiritual and socio-cultural problem which needs spiritual and socio-cultural intervention. It is to draw the attention of the students and the addiction professionals to tapping into all areas of life of the person with addiction which the addictive behavior has taunted.

This book is the result of many lectures, discussions, and personal experiences on the subject. It is my hope that it will be a resource for the students, a handbook for the addiction professionals, a source of knowledge for families of the persons struggling with addiction, those who wish to know more about addiction, and a bibliotherapy Ð a healing tool - for the persons with addiction

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
