Overview
For too long, addiction has been seen as a moral failing to punish or a chronic disease to manage. Thriving with Addiction offers a radically different vision: recovery as a gateway to a healthier, more meaningful life.
Blending cutting-edge neuroscience, real-world psychiatry, and powerful personal narratives, addiction psychiatrist Jonathan Avery reveals how healing goes far beyond symptom control or abstinence. Addiction is not simply something to eliminate—it is an opportunity to rebuild the brain, restore relationships, and rediscover purpose.
Through deeply human clinical vignettes, you’ll meet people who have transformed their lives, learning to regulate emotions, reconnect with loved ones, and craft identities grounded in health and meaning. Along the way, you’ll discover:
- How trauma, neurobiology, and social disconnection converge in addiction—and how recovery can address them all.
- The science of dopamine, craving, and neuroplasticity, explained in plain language.
- Strategies to strengthen brain health, emotional resilience, and physical well-being.
- The essential role of family, community, and culture in lasting recovery.
- How to navigate setbacks with self-compassion and clarity.
More than a guide to quitting substances, Thriving with Addiction is a blueprint for thriving—mind, body, and spirit. Whether you are in recovery, love someone who is, or work on the front lines of treatment, this book will change how you think about addiction, healing, and what’s possible for the human spirit.
It’s time to move the conversation beyond abstinence, beyond stigma, and toward a future where recovery means becoming who you’re meant to be.
