Early recovery is a stressful time. It can also be confusing because of the unfamiliar words and phrases that are commonly used in recovery groups. Organized alphabetically, the addictionary is a comprehensive resource that defines hundreds of recovery terms. The authors provide clear, in-depth definitions that demystify the language of recovery, address a variety of recovery issues, and focus on addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, sex, and codependency. Special features include definitions grouped by themes and a directory of recovery groups and organizations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for both laypersons and professionals.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Addictionary: A Primer of Recovery Terms & Concepts from Abstinence to Withdraw (Paperback)
Thoroughly researched and well written. The Addictionary is an easy to use tool for not only understanding many terms and concepts used in connection with addictions, but for making sense of often cross-applied terms. The authors are gifted at making concise and eloquent definitions that do not ask more questions than they answer.
