In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

I just started this book, but I bought because I came across the author while looking for things about addiction on you tube. I love the title !

The author is a Dr called Garbo Mate. He is an addiction specialist, working with drug addicts in Canada. I watched some of his talks on you tube and was enthralled. He is such a compassionate man. If you have 5mins I highly recommend giving his talks a view. I will post a link when my brain is less addled. I'm 1 day AF today.

No worries Budda! I wrote down the name of your book so I could look it up. I am also going to look up those YouTube videos you mentioned. Thanks

My only complaint about this book is that there's a developing love story...OH PLEASE...like things turn out that way in real life?! They could skip that BS as far as I'm concerned. Then again, I may just be a tad bitter. LOL

Gabor Mate is the name of the physician who directs a "harm reduction" clinic for addicts in Vancouver BC . He really does understand more than most about addiction, trauma, attachment disorder . . . his book about addiction is: "In the Land of Hungry Ghosts."

However, I had the opportunity to attend a day-long "workshop" by Dr. Mate. At the end, with a copy of his book that I bought in hand, to get his signature, I asked him if he had ever heard of baclofen for addiction.

I mean, it saved my life, and I'm pretty sure it's applicable for more than just alcoholism; and this man's life is about saving lives. He said, "Uh, umm, yeah, I've read or heard something about it. I don't really know anything." All I could do was tell him that baclofen saved my life. "Great workshop."

All that said, though, (sorry K-9, still hi-jacking your thread), his understanding about addiction is quite accurate and quite profound. He says, "There is no war on drugs. There is a war on people." I admire his work, greatly, and just keep working on how difficult it is for anyone to change their own paradigm - about anything!!!
