For an addict, the main course at the feast of indulgence is the consumption of his or her drug of choice, including alcohol and other addictions. With God's help, we will be able to curb our hunger for such indulgences. Without it, most of us will fail to arrest this wicked course; we will fail to arouse a sleeping conscience, and we will get no better. As the proverbial fly on the wall, you will venture into the author's therapy world for guidance and insight on your quest for a addiction free existence. Steven R. White invites you to share his experiences and knowledge in the realm of drug/alcohol addiction - the should and should-nots necessary for a successful recovery. Complete with suggestions, personal confessions, and related scripture, this guide delivers you from the jaws of the Jackal, the demon and your drug of choice, into a better sphere of living.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

    What a mysterious thing is this enemy of ours - as mysterious as life itself.
    Addiction is sometimes without explanation. However, we are aware of its presence and how miserable it makes us feel. How little we like to speak of it, discuss it, or consider its importance! When cornered, we discuss the thought as quickly as possible. That being said, doesn't it seem strange that we spend so much time feeding our addictions? Furthermore, when we have finally had enough, why do we not spend an equal amount of time and energy trying to recover from those same addictions?
    Recovery takes time. It is a thing that cannot be hurried no matter how badly we desire it. The ugly larva in its cocoon spends much time in almost unnoticeable growth and change. But no matter how slow that growth may be, the moment comes when it passes through a crisis, and emerges a beautiful butterfly. The weeks of growth are over, left behind, and the new and the beautiful come into being.
    A man's lifestyle and pattern of thought almost always, determines a man's destiny. If a man desires to change his destiny, time and knowledge are required to make his wish a reality. I've learned that reading about someone's failures and accomplishments can jumpstart a need to change yourself; a change in the way you think; a change in the places you go; a change in the knowledge you seek; a change in your socializing.
    Although professional counseling is an important element in most recovery programs, it is not a mandatory component. I feel that we don't have to be directly told that we are wasting our lives. In all of us there exists an inner-self that is constantly reminding us what we should and should not be doing. We know instinctively what is right and what is wrong. That's the way humans are built. And as a human being, you are already equipped with the components of change. So open your mind, heart & soul and allow your inner-self to do what God intended it to do - change your life and your destiny. I'm not saying that you should "do things your way". Most individuals who have tried running on sheer willpower and defiant rebellion sooner or later discover they lack the internal strength to change, especially if there's a Jackal on the loose.

                                           As I know all too well -- Steven R. White

The Fly and The Jackal by Steven White Reviewed by Shira Goldberg

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2012

Reading about the devastation and destruction that addiction inevitably causes is a truly a "sober" reminder of how grateful I am in my own recovery. Removing one's self from this downward spiral as Steven writes inspires me to remain vigilant in my sobriety. As he shares his own story of pain, strength, and hope, which is told through a Christian lens, I see how he too is someone equally as grateful for the chances and blessings one never sees when in the midst of addiction.

The Fly and The Jackal is his testament of his journey, written from a strong Christian perspective. He writes with honesty and sincerity of how he was rescued from his own Jackal, addiction, by incorporating G-d, Jesus Christ, and Narcotics Anonymous into his life and throughout his work.

It was this combination that worked for him and the one he advocates for others to follow to conquer addiction, "The Jackal," successfully. Steven writes how he was able to leave the grip of addiction and achieve recovery with sustainable longevity through his faith and fellowship he became victorious over his own addiction and demons.

"Life isn't always about our pain, heartache and conflict, Steve writes." It doesn't have to.

He compares the lives of addicts and alcoholics to the lessons of Jesus Christ and the story if his resurrection, the struggles with evil, healing and seeing both the darkness of addiction and finally the light, recovery, with Biblical inspiration as the course to navigate the way.

Steven White introduces addiction as "The Jackal," the cunning and persistent instrument of Satan. The reader is the "proverbial fly on the wall," privy to the author's world and insightful perspective. It is with his strong allegiance to his Christian principles and influence that he explains why we are experiencing our own modern day plague; the ravenous Plague of Addiction, with our only hope of salvation is sobriety.

Addiction is thought to be a sin Steven writes, as it is not in accordance with G-d, as it breaks G-d's laws and removes us further from Him. As a result, life continues to falter on a treacherous path, with more carnage, more lies, and more sin; while harming everyone close to the addict that gets in the way. He knows of an alternative path, and shares how he found it.

Recovery is possible for those that repent, do the work, and admit their innate weaknesses. Steven reminds the reader it is through recovery those that struggle with addiction can find direction with a moral compass. Addiction cannot be absolved through sheer willpower but through the belief and structure of a Higher Power and a commitment to acquiring a fulfilling purpose.
