Break the Cycle of Addiction—From the Inside Out

Addiction: The only disease that convinces you that you don’t have it.

Thawing Addiction – The Tip of the Iceberg dives beneath the surface of self-destructive behaviors to explore the emotional and relational roots of addiction. Whether the issue is substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, or chronic relapse, this book offers a powerful roadmap to long-term healing and recovery.

You’ll discover:

• The hidden causes and emotional conditions that drive addiction

• Why it’s called the feelings disease—and how to finally thaw frozen emotional states

• How addiction becomes a self-sustaining system—and how to disrupt it

• The true meaning of “family disease” and how codependency keeps addiction alive

• Why the payoffs of recovery must be more rewarding than the short-lived relief of using

Written by Don Carter, MSW, LCSW—bestselling author of the Thawing the Iceberg Series and a recovered alcoholic/addict with over 35 years of clinical, academic, and spiritual experience—this book is more than theory. It’s a message of hope, grounded in lived experience and integrative psychotherapy.

You’ll also learn how to recognize and cope with recovery traps like:

• Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS)

• The shift from homeostasis in addiction to “neo-homeostasis” in recovery

• Relationship dysfunction, enabling patterns, and toxic bonding

• Parallel patterns of addiction and codependency

• The grief process embedded in recovery
