Addiction continues to be a major problem in the United States, and there is no quick and easy cure. To pursue a cure, the individual must first identify the cause for their addiction. All too often, they seek to blame others or their circumstances and never consider internal factors that may cause them to succumb to external pressures.
Author Clayton Watkins has worked with individuals with addictions for many years. In "The Cure," he shares the insights he gained from that experience to help individuals deal with their addiction or that of someone they love. Understanding self is essential in locating the cause of the addiction. Before a cure can be effective, one must gain personal insight to the cause, and an inadequate resolution of the past is perhaps the greatest hindrance to recovery. The inability to handle forgiveness in God's way blocks any hope for a cure.
"The Cure" offers guidance in understanding that the cure for addiction lies in a unique participation between two persons: the individual and God. Man must clearly grasp and embrace what only God can do.
