If you or someone you know or love is an addicted person, I would like to suggest 3 excellent books on addiction. The first book is I Am Your Disease (The Many Faces of Addiction). The second book is Slaying the Addiction Monster – An All-Inclusive Look at Drug Addiction in America Today. The third book is a children’s book, geared toward 5th grade and up. It is The Addiction Monster and the Square Cat. All 3 books are available on Amazon.com as well as the author’s website. We have to reach kids at a younger and younger age, and The Addiction Monster and the Square Cat teaches kids about drugs and addiction in a way that they can understand. The story is a fictionalized version of the author’s son’s long struggle with, and ultimate death from, drugs. The story is told by the sassy but lovable family cat. Remember, people may choose to do drugs, but they never choose addiction. Addiction is a proven brain disease.
