The Useful Lie: How the Recovery Industry Has Entrapped America in a Disease Model of Addiction

The real truth about Recovery? It contradicts science and medicine. It contradicts the Bible. It doesn’t work. Nevertheless, millions of Americans have been led to believe that Recovery is the answer to addictive behavior.
