Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was six years old in 1972, and I remember the sounds of my parents fighting. It was worse than ever, and I didn’t understand why the fights never stopped.
#2 My family did not use crack cocaine, nor did they use powder cocaine or heroin. However, alcohol was a part of the chaos. My father never drank during the week, but weekends were his time to let go and make up for the social and cultural isolation of his work as a warehouse manager.
#3 The most widely accepted definition of addiction is the one in psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. But more than 75 percent of drug users do not have this problem.
#4 Racism is the belief that social and cultural differences between groups are inherited and immutable, making some groups inalterably superior to others. While these ideas are bad enough when lodged in the minds of individuals, they are even more harmful when they shape institutional behavior.
