ADDICTION

ADDICTION

A collection of poetry, short prose, and personal stories from around the world on the theme of addiction.

The THIRD in our Poetry for Mental Health book series.

One of the biggest international anthologies on addiction ever published!

"Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to engage in certain behaviours, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences." Wikepedia.

It is undeniable that putting thoughts, feelings and emotions into words, on paper, either with poetry or in a short story format, can be both therapeutic and an incredibly effective method of self-help and healing. In this brave and uncompromising collection 61 writers and poets explore the themes of addiction, either from their own personal perspectives and experiences, or from the experiences of friends, family and people close by. Covering both substance and behavioural addiction, an anthology on this subject is undoubtedly thought-provoking and emotional, but also positive and uplifting too as, for many, putting their feelings into words has set many on the road to creativity, healing and ultimately recovery. ALL profits from the sales of ADDICTION go towards promoting poetry for positive mental health.
