Alcoholism, Substance
Abuse, and/or Sexual Addiction?
(Internet Pornograhy Addiction Included)
While
this book by sexual addiction expect, Dr. Patrick Carnes, targets the
sex addict himself, if your partner

drug, this book might prove helpful. You'll better understand sexual
addiction and its likely
progression through the cycles of preoccupation, ritualization,
compulsive sexual
behavior, and then finally, despair. You’ll also realize that
because you sex addict partner
feels unloved and unlovable, he has little confidence in the love of
others. Did you realize that includes your love, and that's why he can
become calculating, manipulative, and even ruthless? Of course, he
wants to ensure his continual sexual supply. But can this addiction be
overcome? you probably want to ask. Indeed, Dr. Carnes offers hope in
this book. He suggests that through a twelve-step program, the sexual
addict can learn how

Secrets about Narcissism and
the Narcissistic and How to Avoid Being Done In By One, too!

What
are the deadly sins of pathological narcissism? According to author and
psychotherapist Sandy Hotchkiss, they are shamelessness, magical
thinking, arrogance, envy, entitlement,
exploitation and bad boundaries. If she was making a formal diagnosis
of Narcissistic
Personality Disorder (NPD) and using the Diagnostic
and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders to do so, she might talk
primarily in terms of grandiosity,
need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Anyway, what you don't want
to miss is
that the narcissists amongst us are incapable of loving anyone else,
and they use others as objects for their own gain or benefit.
Also,
because they tend to destroy the lives
of those they touch, many would suggest that if at all possible,
don’t strive
to manage a relationship with a narcissist, but merely run away
instead. But
sometimes you can’t avoid them, and so you need the advice
found in this
book. However, after digesting it, you might stand a better chance of
steering clear of any narcissists in your midst. And frankly,
that
would be a good thing.

Would
you like to read a book by a self-professed narcissisist? Yep, that's
what Dr. Sam Vaknin claims he is. He’ll also tell you flat
out
that your
narcissistic partner doesn’t love you, and he isn’t
capable
of love, either. But he'll also tell you that he needs the
admiration of you and others for his narcissitic supply. And, like the
human body, the narcissist must be fed with your adoration regularly.
Let him down and immediately, you become the enemy. Of course, any
enemy must be destroyed by any means possible; the end justifies the
means in the mind of the narcissist. So really, is this any way to
live? You might decide it isn't after hearing the truth from a man who
should know. Thus, read this book only if you’re ready to
face
the
truth about narcissism, narcissists, and Narcissistic Personality
Disorder.

a very popular book on unhealthy levels of narcissism and Narcissistic
Personality
Disorder. While some books about narcissism and the narcissistic are so
difficult to read I haven’t listed

book’s
content. So, if you suspect you’re
dealing with a narcissistic spouse and you might be sticking around and

own narcissistic needs met by being in this relationship—such
as
feeling important
because you’re with a financially successful
guy—give this

Do
you realize that while people with
Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Antisocial Personality Disorder
might lack any empathy, other people are probably too empathetic
for their own good? Author Dr. Nina

they don't take adequate care of their own needs. Perhaps you're such
an
individual? Since I suspect you might be, read this book and learn how

Some
books draw more mixed reviews than others. This is one of those
books. Personally, I liked it. It helped me to have more compassion for
the narcissistic. Nonetheless, I came to realize that since it was
difficult to cure this personality disorder, perhaps it was best I'd
decided to leave my spouse with his narcissism, addicrions, and abusive
ways. Yes, it was good I'd become commited to rediscovering my own true
self that I'd allowed to fade away because of him. You might
want to do the same, but read this book first and then you

This
book should also prove helpful if you were the child of a narcissistic
parent. It's a book that apparently has opened the eyes of many. You
may or
may not like the fact the author shares her own story as well as those
of
friends and clients harmed by narcissistic parents. Also, while this
book
should build awareness and help you realize you’ll never gain
the
love of a narcissistic
parent because the narcissist isn’t capable of this, you
might be
disappointed that
the book doesn’t offer all the self-help techniques you might
have expected. Sometimes you can't get everything you need from
one book. But should you expect to, really? Sometimes you benefit from
the indepth coverage a book provides that tries to do just one thing.

Are you wondering
if you love your partner or are addicted to him
instead? This book should help you reach a conclusion. And, if you
decide it is an
addiction and time to break the
habit, this book has plenty of passages to underline so you can remind
yourself
why you don’t want to waver on this decision—or
return to him after you’ve
left. Yes, this book might provide just the ammunition you need to
destroy your
own self destructive ways, and go on to create a new life more in
alignment with
your dreams.

This
is actually a single volume that includes
two classic books by Melody Beattie, a former addict who disliked
codependents,
or people she defined as those who allowed another person's behavior to
affect him or
her, and who became obsessed with controlling the addict's behavior.
But then,
Beattie found the tables reversed, and she herself became codependent.
These
books help you understand the traits and self-defeating behaviors of
codependency, plus they divulge steps you can take to move beyond your
codependency. Doesn't that sound like information you need?
Perhaps
you’ve noticed that the person raised in a
dysfunctional or abusive environment often sabotages and cripples his
or her
life? Mellody labels the problem as codependency, and she discusses the
core symptoms of codependency as
difficulty: Experiencing
appropriate levels of self-esteem, setting functional boundaries,
owning and
expressing one's own reality, taking care of one's adult needs and
wants, and behaving
moderately. She suggests the first step towards healing codependency
is becoming
aware that one is codependent, and then desiring to change. Are you
ready to take it?

Have
you had one disappointing short-lived
relationship after another? Or perhaps you’ve stayed with
someone,
but he never seems
interested anymore, at least not until you’re about to walk
away? Then you dance together
again—but likely only temporarily. Soon, he is disinterested
again, isn't that so? Well, if any of this has a
familiar ring, you
might want to read this book. Discover if you’re
a love addict and what to do about it, too.
Need
a book that isn’t weighed down by research,
but is a gritty and honest view of men who engage in physical and
emotional
abuse? This book shows you how to assess your partner’s and
relationship’s potential
for abuse, as well as the potential for change. The author discusses
drug and
alcohol abuse as warning signs, and then delves into excuses abusive
men
give to
explain their behavior. And while the author doesn’t offer
false hope that such
relationships can be saved, she nonetheless maintains an optimistic and
empowering tone while she forgoes the candy-coating. As a result of
reading
this book, you might find it easier to make a clear-headed decision
about your painful
marriage or relationship to your abuisve and addicted narcissist.
Have
you been
suffering anxiety, depression, and weight gain as you’ve
struggled to try and
make your partner understand how his subtle insults and manipulative
behavior hurts your feelings, your self esteem, or your self
worth? If your Dr. Jekyll has turned into a Mr. Hyde, this book will
help you see that your husband’s
resentment is not about you, but he dislikes women in general (if not
all people, actually). Furthermore, he must get
in touch with this
and work on his own issues if your marriage is to shift and become
something that
meets your needs as well as his. Otherwise, as Dr. Susan Forward points
out, you might waste years of your life wishing and hoping he will
change when in reality, you will be the one changing as you deteriorate
both emotionally and physically. You don't want that, do you? Read
this book because you won't be sorry you did. However, you might be in
years to
come if you don't, and then awaken one day to realize you've wasted
your life. Don't let that happen, okay?

unhealthy
relationship, or won’t accept it's over when the other has
made it clear it most certainly is. After reading
this book and implementing its suggestions, though, you should be in a
better
place regardless if you're currently the pursued one, or the one doing

Does Robin Norwood actually use

him and suffer all sorts of emotional pain. Of course, the oject of her
affection is typically
emotionally
unavailable, if not outright verbally, emotionally, and otherwise
abusive. If what I just said describes you and your relationship, this
book could prove to be a life-saver, actually.
Are
You Ready to Read these Books Revealing Secrets about
Dysfunctional Families and Destructive Childhoods and How to Overcome
Your Painful Past?

Are
you aware of this book? It was the groundbreaking
book for adult children of alcoholics. As such, it has opened the eyes
of many affected
by growing up under rules such as don’t talk, don’t
trust, and don’t feel. It has
acquainted adult children of alcoholics with the roles they
tended to play in their dysfunctional
homes that they unknowingly dragged into adulthood. These roles have
often kept them
from discovering or honoring the desires of their true selves, too. Dr.
Black, however, gives these adult children a way to lose
the legacy of a household not only ravaged by alcoholism, but she has
expanded her classic
book to give messages of hope and a pathway to change to adults
impacted by
other parental addictions as well. Could this be you? If so, discover

Parents
who are controllers, alcoholics, drug abusers, physical abusers, verbal
abusers, emotional abusers, and/or sexual abusers all fall under Dr.
Susan Forward's unblrella of toxic parents. They don’t
just do something
wrong from time-to-time, in other words.No, they have a negative impact
on their children's lives almost daily. Furthermore, if you had such a
parent and are still
struggling
in adulthood with feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, or if
you’ve never
felt you were loved, you’ll want to read this book.
Don’t let the harm of your
past keep harming you in the present. Or, toss away the script your
parents forced you
to act out and instead, find or create a new one more to your liking.
You’re
worth it, no matter what your toxic parents told you!
Does your
spouse remain out-of-touch
with his feelings and his true self while he remains driven to greater
and greater achievement? Do you suspect this stems from an underlying
sense of worthlessness? The sad truth is, if he is a narcissist because
he was brought
up by narcissistic parents, he might inflict a similar legacy on your
children. If you hope to understand how narcissists damage their
children so you might break the cycle, you'll want to purchase and
read this Alice Miller book.

Famed
psychoanalyst Alice Miller says it's only by examining and embracing
the truth of our
past
histories that we can be freed of pain in the present. To
help
make her points, Miller uses true stories that reveal the perils of
early childhood
mistreatment. She also draws upon the latest research on brain
development to show
the reader how spanking and humiliation produce dangerous levels of
denial. In
turn, this leads to mental barriers that cut off awareness and the
ability to
learn new ways of acting. Thus, as so often happens, the cycle repeats
itself,
or similar forms of abuse are perpetuated upon the next generation. But
readers of this
book are going to do their best to ensure this doesn’t
happen, don’t you
imagine?

Alice Miller
is German and thus, she speaks of the violence used against children in
German homes throughout the years.
Nonetheless, her work, including this book, speak to many Americans,
too. She helps you
realize that while you might not view your early childhood experiences
as
violent, they might well have been more so than you've ever realized.
She
helps you see the childhood wounds you might need to overcome,
as well
as why you want to avoid similar child rearing practices in your
own
family. Indeed, why perpetuate such damage upon your children out of
ignorance when
there's no need to do so? No, don't to that. Read this book
instead.
You
probably understand what we mean when we talk about incest, right? If
you’re walking around wondering why your adult
relationships don’t work despite the fact you
weren’t the victim of something this extreme, read what Dr.
Adams has to say about covert incest.So, what is it exactly? Well, it's
where a parent expected the child to play the role of surrogate spouse
emotionally. Thus, the child heard things and had to deal with things a
child isn't ready to handle emotionally and shouldn’t have
to,
either. As the child listened to her father complain about his
disappointing sex life with alcoholic Mom, for example, she felt
special while at the same time realizing there was something that
didn't feel quite right about what was happening. Again, despite the
fact there was no overt sexual abuse or incest, the grown woman might
well behave as if this was indeed her history. By the way, if any of
this sounds like your early history, do yourself a favor and buy the
book.
Have
you been wondering how you ever ended up with relationship
problems when you came from a family where things seemed right and your
parents
did no wrong? Well, consider this: Were you a chosen child? If you
were, Dr.
Patricia Love suggests that while this
sounds like a positive thing, it had its downside. You probably learned
to deny
your own needs to meet those of a parent. She labels this as emotional
incest. But the good news is she provides you with hope and help in
overcoming this legacy, too.

Children
abused in both physical and
nonphysical ways often grow up into adults with issues that make
adulthood difficult. This book, however, can help you realize how
even subtle abuse may have impacted you. And while right now you might

sooner versus later. This way, you'll become less the victim of your
past and instead, become capable
of creating a present that’s devoid of abusive people. And
did you realize that includes
you being abusive towards
yourself? Anyway, while this might not be the first book you elect to

Do

Susan
Forward. Then again, you might be doing it to yourself. Do you silently
condemn youself for not thinking

Evans talks about more than the controlling marital partner,
certainly. But since you're undoubtedly hooked up with a
controlling man, this book could prove helpful. Try what she suggests.
The tactics might not work with your spouse with his narcissism,
addictions, and abusive ways. But at least you can tell yourself you
gave it your best shot before you walk out that door, wouldn't you
agree? Also, you might be better able to keep men from controlling you

nonetheless. In fact, this book discusses some of the more commonm ones

John
Bradshaw talks about a part of you that never forgets anything harmful
you’ve experienced.
While some might prefer to use the metaphor of the hard drive of the
brain, he uses that of the wounded inner
child instead. He discusses how you might have been wounded by child
abuse or
neglect, for example, or by other events, including those
inconsequential by adult
standards. The problem is, for the small child, they were not. So,
these wounds
continue to drive you in adulthood unless you confront them, tame them,
and lay
them to rest. Are you wondering how to do this? You’ll find
helpful exercises
in this book.
This
book can help you with your self improvement or personal development,
and it can help you better understand the narcissist in your life. Both
of you might be carrying around shame. And while it could stem from
things you did, more likely,
it is shame you took on as a small child that belonged to your parents
or other adults. Still, that shame can drive you and make you feel
worthless. Because this often happens at an unconscious level, however,
you might not be aware this is the case. You might act out this
unconscious shame by playing less
than to your narcissitic spouse's better than
role. Or do you sometimes switch between the two? Since none of these
represent emotionally healthy ways to live,
use this book by John Bradshaw to help you change if you suspect shame
is impacting your life. Otherwise, use what you find in this book to
help you better understand your partner displaying narcissism,
addictions, and verbal as well as emotional abuse.
When
you are the adult child of an alcoholic, you often have
trouble functioning because you might have trouble asking for what you
want
without getting angry, your are overly sensitive to criticism, you
don’t have
good boundaries and have trouble saying “No!” to
people, and you suffer from
low self esteem or feelings of worthlessness much of the time. You also
might
lack a good sense of what is normal and what skills you should have to
cope
with life because you never saw them modeled at home. Anyway, if much
of this
rings true for you, you probably will like this book. Why
don’t you purchase it
now and see if it becomes that impetus to change you’ve been
looking for.
Has
your anger made you feel
powerlessness rather than being your faithful servant? Then check out
this book. Let it open your eyes
to the fact anger is a symptom. When you seek to understand and deal
with the problem that is perpetuating it, it will likely disappear.
You’ll
have your sense of personal power back—or perhaps experience
it
for the first time!

What
do people want?
To love and be loved. Some of us go about it in some strange and
unproductive
ways, however. But if you have read the other Bradshaw books and worked
through your shame issues, for example, it might be time to read this
book. And why does Bradshaw talk
about creating love? Because whie many of us believe that love just
happens and is effortless because we've believed and operated under the
notion of romantic
love, conscious people choose to love, or to create love. So, read and
work through his other books first. Then you’ll be ready for
this
book, don’t you
imagine?

The
original edition of this book targeted adult children of
alcoholics with trust and intimacy issues. It brought tears of relief
to readers' eyes as they gained hope they could create different types
of relationships in the future than they had in the past. I have
not read this revised edition, but the author has supposedly made the
book
applicable to all adults who want to experience greater intimacy with a
beloved partner.
Dr.
Gottman is amazing. He can predict with unbelievable accuracy which
couples will divorce in the future by merely watching them for about
five minutes on video as they strive to solve some type of conflict or
problem. If he watched you and your narcissistic, addicted,
and
abusive husband, I suspect he'd predict divorce because this
researcher, while he might not talk about verbal abuse and emotional
abuse, is basically picking up on the behaviors and attitudes present
in abusive relationships and used by abusive people. Thus, while the
prognosis for your marriage
might be poor, you shoud still read this book because if
you do divorce and then marry again, you want things to work well the
second
time
around, right? So, go ahead and purchase this book.
Do
you like to read actual dialogue of real people dealing with real
issues? Then you'll like this book which introduces you to ten couples.
Each is trying to resolve a different common marital problem. You're
shown the right and wrong ways to deal with issues and conflict. But if
your spouse with his narcissism, addictions, and abusive ways has no
interest in trying them out, just remember these will be handy to have
in your toolkit for the future, don't you imagine?
