The Last Addiction: Own Your Desire, Live Beyond Recovery, Find Lasting Freedom

What it is

Sharon Hersh, a licensed professional counselor, makes an uncomfortable and clarifying claim: the final addiction, and the hardest to see, is the belief that we can fix ourselves. In a culture of tell-all recovery memoirs and programmes, self-management becomes its own dependency — and a person can be entirely sober and entirely enslaved to their own competence at staying sober. She writes about desire rather than against it, arguing that owning what you actually want is the doorway rather than the danger, and that lasting freedom lies past recovery rather than in it. Published by WaterBrook. Not a pornography book, and that is why it works for the specific person it is for: someone with real sobriety, a working programme, and the private knowledge that they are still not free.
