Do I have an addiction or just a bad habit? Is there even a difference? Crist, a clinical psychologist and substance abuse counselor helps teens understand addiction fundamentals and strategies for overcoming addiction. Using facts rather than shame, he opens this comprehensive guide with an overview of alcohol and drug addiction and the benefits and negative consequences of substance use. The next few chapters give in-depth information on addictions to alcohol, drugs, technology (e.g., gaming, phone use, and social media), and activities (e.g., eating, self-injury, pornography, sex, shopping, and gambling). Each of these sections considers such issues as how to tell if you have a problem, risks involved, and how to monitor your addiction. The final chapters address the recovery process, including stages of recovery, symptoms of withdrawal, and types of treatment, as well as offer strategies to avoid relapse, identify triggers, and find healthier substitutes. Profiles of and quotes from teens offer real-world experiences throughout the text and include individuals who use gender-nonconforming pronouns. A valuable resource for education and self-help.
