Stolen Hours: Breaking Free From Secret Addictions a self-help guide for those people who chronically and habitually keep secrets, often to self-destructive or violent ends. Examining the nature of those who hide self-defeating behaviors such as alcohol and drug abuse, compulsive gambling, sexual addiction, eating disorders, and much more, Stolen Hours presents ways in which to combat the cycle of hiding and indulging in and hiding harmful activities. Case studies, 8 mindsets common to secret-keepers, and years of the author's exeprience as an addiction counselor and recovery from chemical addiction mark Stolen Hours as compelling in its own right and a welcome addition to recovery, therapy, and self-help shelves.
