The Role of Will in Addiction and Recovery (ePub)

Shelby Boone brings more than
twenty years of experience in the field of addictions to explore the mystery of
will.

Her experience includes working
with adolescents and adults affected and afflicted with substance abuse and
dependence. In The Role of Will in
Addiction and Recovery, she addresses the puzzling, contradictory, and
misunderstood will with clarity and compassion. Her wisdom and intuition
breathes life and understanding into an abstraction that has baffled humanity
for ages. Ms Boone fleshes out will with reality and we consciously experience
will as a concrete reality. Conscious awareness of will is the first step
toward its proper use. According to Ms. Boone, will is a spiritual organ.
Learning right use of will is an arduous task for us on our spiritual journey.
Will is a powerful spiritual tool we can use judiciously to accomplish anything
our heart desires when we come to understand it and respect its sacred nature.
Ms Boone provides specific exercises designed to help the reader develop qualities
of will that can be used to arrest addictions and create a meaningful life.

In a bold stroke of insight and
genius, Ms. Boone locates the specific area of the brain through which will operates. It is in this same location that addictions take
root and become equated with other survival behaviors such as eating, breathing
and procreating. This discovery provides powerful insight and believable
evidence for addiction as a disease, not a moral failing.
