Learning to Love a Porcupine: Hope for Drug Addicts and Families in Crisis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781889503134)

HUMAN BEINGS ACTING LIKE PORCUPINES

Feeling threatened, the razor-sharp quills come out.

Irritability, hostility, blame-shifting and lack of sensibility can be the behavior of a drug-addict, but the rest of the story is that "Porcupine behavior" of others, can also be a contributing factor.

This is the true story of a depressed, suicidal drug addict who found his way and the healing of his family. Their story helps answer these questions:

What is the root cause of addiction?

How do I face my own death without fear?

How do I live without guilt when I know I'm guilty?

How do I live without regret when I've hurt so many that I love?

How do I live without shame when I've made such a fool of myself?

How can I ever be happy after a loved one has knowingly committed suicide or died from an overdose?

Can I really live free from worry and anxiety?

Can I really live free from disappointment?

How can I know all of my needs are being met?

How can my life really make a positive difference?

How can I not die of a broken heart?

How do I overcome stress?
