Howard Marvin Halpern: How to break your addiction to a person (2004, Bantam Books, Bantam) 1 star

Review of 'How to break your addiction to a person' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I started this book with the wrong assumption: that it would help me to understand how addiction to a person would work. This book assumes that you have made your mind up that you want to leave a person, that you already know that the relationship is bad for you, but that you are too weak to actually do so.

I started reading it, but felt annoyed with it after a couple of pages. Two weeks later, I tried again, but again after a few pages, I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't relate at all with the characters in the book! For me personally, breaking an addiction would be really easy. The hard part, and the reason I wanted to read this book initially, is to recognize your addiction. This book didn't help me with that at all.
