The Road Less Travelled … Three Steps to Overcoming Alcoholism and Drug Addiction …
I’ve been reading M. Scott Peck’s famous The Road Less Travelled a book I’ve heard so much about and been wanting to read for ages but somehow just haven’t gotten around to, up until now.
The first line of his book says that ‘Life is Difficult,’ which he interpreted from the first of the Buddhist Four Noble Truths which says, ‘Life is Suffering’ which I don’t think Buddha meant literally, but was probably more getting at what M. Scott Peck was saying that life is in fact tough, difficult and often filled with problems.

It has taken some time but, researchers have come to the conclusion that drug addiction and alcoholism are diseases and like other diseases, are chronic and those afflicted are subject to relapse. From a medical perspective, addiction can be compared to diabetes in that it will require long term treatment, lifestyle changes, medication at times and if not monitored, relapse will occur.
