Sarina Wheatman Knihy

    Třicetiletá kariéra jako terapeutka závislostí v protidrogových zařízeních ve Velké Británii, Holandsku a na Jersey inspirovala autorku k psaní. Díky vlastní zkušenosti s delším obdobím střízlivosti využívá metody, které aplikovala v praxi i ve svých knihách. Jejím cílem je „měnit vnímání po jedné knize“, neboť ji neustále udivuje, jak málo je závislost pochopena. Autorka doufá, že svým dílem přispěje ke změně znepokojivých statistik úmrtí na následky závislosti a pomůže odbourat stigma spojené s touto duševní chorobou.

    • Twisted Wires

      Twisted Wires refers to the crazy mixed up world of addiction. Twisted thinking and behaviour and attitudes abound about this subject. Surely in this day and age we could have a more cohesive attitude about it all? If this were to happen, maybe, just maybe we could have a better way of treating the problem, or detecting it before it became a problem. You have to agree the statistics about this disease are devastating, to live with it or to love someone who has it is the most perplexing thing ever. Addicts are the modern day lepers of society. Shunned, despised and most definitely misunderstood.
