https://boove.co.uk/books-about-addiction/

Addiction. A word society was first conditioned to scorn, that slowly but surely has started to become more commonplace around us all, be it at the city or the country, it somehow became normalized.

Thanks in no small part to the opioid epidemic that has been ravaging our communities for decades now and that seems resilient to any measure taken so far to combat it, addiction rates has only gotten higher, and usage more common and visible.

It, sadly, doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon so it’s in your own hands to combat this mighty foe if you ever cross paths with it. Those who had dealt with it can tell you through their own words how they did, which methods work and which don’t against an addiction. Success is not guaranteed but knowledge and a strong will can take you far. Develop both of those things by reading the best books on dealing with an addiction.

What Is the Point of Life? (21 Inspirational and Motivational Answers)

Bracha Goetz Author of 38 books to help children’s souls shine: 

Bracha Goetz

Harvard-Educated Author, Searching for God in the Garbage

When I was 22, I learned the point of life from a great rabbi in Jerusalem. I had been searching for about 10 years by then to find out the point of life. And this rabbi’s answer was not at all what I expected.

Rabbi Noah Weinberg explained that the point of life is to experience the greatest pleasure possible! And what gives us the greatest pleasure possible? Spiritual pleasures!

I learned that the emptiness I felt inside that no amount of food could ever fill, was really craving for spiritual nourishment, and when we provide ourselves with the nourishment that our souls are craving, the big bag of potato chips suddenly stops calling our names so loudly.

Widespread addictions are messaging us. There is a spiritual basis to addictions, and when we recognize that we are souls in need of spiritual sustenance to thrive, then we begin to get what we are here for and how to live joyful lives.

We can fill our souls by spending time appreciating nature, reaching out to those who are lonelier than we are, focusing on being grateful – or whatever works. But as we fill our lives with more and more lasting pleasure, the point of life becomes abundantly clear.

Jack Martin gets a shout out for Treason on the Mississippi from Sisters in Crime Orange County CA! Scroll down to page four.

Treason on the Mississippi is a story of death, love, and redemption. An act of treason, a calculated murder…Grant’s campaign in the West is finished unless the case is solved.

The John Brown depicted is not the infamous Brown who ignited the War Against the States but a former Boston detective who solved a gruesome child murder case which caught the eye of Abe Lincoln, appointing him to U.S. Grants army. Brown uncovers treason at the highest levels of the Union Army. He sends for the one person who can help him with the investigation, Cpt. Alphonso Clay but before Clay could meet with Brown, Brown is assassinated. Now it is up to Cpt. Clay to decipher Brown’s cryptic notes and follow his deductive instincts to solve the murder, unveil the traitors, and ensure the Union’s victory at Vicksburg, a decisive battle of the war.
