The physical symptoms of withdrawal from a drug or alcohol addiction might last a month or two at most--but the psychological withdrawal can last years.
Enter Philip Muls' Mind on Fire: A Case of Successful Addiction Recovery, a gripping, authentic account of an addict's first eighteen months of sobriety.
Addicts in recovery have to navigate a minefield of existential doubts and imperfect thinking.
It is even worse for people who identify completely with their ego-mind.
They have an addiction to drinking, to be sure, but they also have an addiction to thinking.
When they learn to set this Mind on Fire, they can find a second perspective by watching the thinker in themselves.
Readers of Mind on Fire will see themselves as if in a mirror, and get confirmation that they are not alone with their angst and fears when they stop drinking.
They will find out that when we love ourselves, there is no longer a need to drink.
