Running from Myself Richard James Blackman

To stop a problem, one must face it head-on. What if you think you don't have a problem, but everyone else sees it and you can't see it? You think you're alright. This is called denial, and it is the core impediment of substance abuse, addiction and so many other illnesses. Now in "Running from Myself: Me and the Drug Epidemic of the 1970s-2000s," you will take a rollercoaster ride through the world of substance abuse, addiction and denial like never before told. This book holds nothing back when it comes to what actually goes on in the drug game and the life of a 'real bad' drug addict. Furthermore, running and fighting for one's life becomes the norm in that world. What about one's family? How do they cope or even know what to do when a family member goes psycho on drugs? See what happened to the author and millions of people caught up in this quagmire of mazes and illusions called substance abuse. These people were unable to see what everyone else was seeing in them. Even more, once you're awakened to this world, to which this book will definitely open your eyes, you will begin to understand why substance abuse and addiction are even worse today and why millions are 'running from themselves.'
