The Addiction Manifesto
by JR Weaver
I am not an addict and I have no experience of being close to anyone who is, but I think this book should be read by everyone regardless of personal circumstance. It is aimed at helping addicts/recovering addicts to see that there is always hope. There is always help, and there is always a way forward to a better life, for those that want it. Such an inspirational man, who talks openly and honestly about his battle with addiction. He is dedicated to helping others and I take my hat off to him.
For me it gave an insight into the life and mind of an addict I would otherwise have no clue about. I think I will be much more understanding of people in these situations moving forward. It is easy to think, “well, no one forced them to take drugs or drink themselves into oblivion”, but it goes so much deeper than that and we should all be more aware of the hell some people are living and what led them there.
JR Weaver’s story and those of the other recovering addicts who share their stories with us are truly eye-opening and incredibly moving.
I purchased The Addiction Manifesto in July 2021 after featuring the author, JR Weaver, on my blog.
