Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Things are never what they seem; especially in police work. John Testarossa is an LAPD cop with an NYPD attitude who has seen it all. The dead, the dying and the decomposing are all in a day's work for the red-headed Italian from Brooklyn. After an arm rolls up on a Santa Monica beach, and the dead body to which the arm was once attached is discovered, John and his partner, Alex Ortiz, enter the world of college sports, athletes, and the illegal drugs that enhance their performance. Rage and revenge come together in a toxic cocktail John is all too familiar with. It defined him as a young boy, and ultimately still does as a man. He carries a dark secret. It is in the beautiful Dr. Karen Gennaro-who has a few secrets of her own- that John finds a soft place to land. Even as he knows all too well what falling in love with a cop can do to a woman. What sustains this hard-boiled detective is the bond he shares with his brave and dedicated partners. When that bond is destroyed in a senseless act of violence, will his past, and a desire for vengeance, destroy him? From Los Angeles, where Venice Beach, Marina del Rey, and the dream of Abbot Kinney's Venice Canals paint a picture of bliss, Testarossa will take you on a deeper, darker journey.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Sometimes in life, the hardest thing to do is to look deep within ourselves to find the answers to some of life's dilemmas. It can expose a great sense of vulnerability when we decide to peel away each layer of ourselves and delve into the good, the bad, and the ugly of our own existence. Although all these things combined with each of our life experiences create the person that we have grown to be, it's still a difficult task to encounter. In doing so, it's almost inevitable that we uncover some of the deepest pains, the happiest joys, the biggest regrets, the greatest accomplishments, the worst fears, the best attributes, and the many flaws that embody us as a person. There's a wide range of emotions that will accompany these things that will surely leave questions in our minds as we contemplate the decisions we've made and the roads we've traveled. Granted, this process is tough on us emotionally, but at the end of the process, it can prove to be an exhilarating experience that frees us of the baggage that we tend to hold on to.Now imagine if you decided to document all these emotions, fears, joys, regrets, mishaps, accomplishments and publish them for the world to read.The vulnerability that you felt will now be multiplied by a thousand as you invite everyone into your innerworld. Would the reader of these inner thoughts judge you? Laugh at you? Feel sorry for you? Cry with you? Maybe, but what about the people who may be going through the exact same emotions and thinking that no one can relate to the pain they are experiencing. That alone may give them the will to keep pushing through the obstacles that life has placed in their paths.The funny thing about emotions is that we all have them. Some of us disguise them a little better than others, but in each of us, they exist. That's what makes us human. The ability to share these emotions is a gift that not many of us possess. Those that are not blessed with this gift may never feel the relief that accompanies the purging and release of letting go of the baggage of past life's experiences. The toughest person that we will ever face and answer to is the one in the mirror. But once we find those answers, there may be millions of people that can learn from those experiencesAs in any book, you have to complete and close one chapter before you can open and enjoy the next one. So with that being said, I ask.when your book of life ends, will there be many open-ended unfinished chapters or will it flow like a great novel of experiences and journeys that were uncovered when you looked In the Midst of Me.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Joseph Caravella, MA, LADC currently practices as an addiction therapist for the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Saint Paul, Minnesota. As an educator, he's known for his high energy, breathtaking lectures-on addiction, forgiveness, and love. In The Disease of Addiction, he masterfully unravels the complexities of the addicted brain, breaks down the fundamental components of addiction in easy-to-understand terms, and paints a detailed clinical picture with color sourced from his own harrowing experiences with addiction, mental illness, and early recovery.Importantly, The Disease of Addiction is the first book to correlate the nearly 90-year-old wisdom of the Alcoholics Anonymous program-the allergy of the body, the obsession of the mind, the malady of the spirit-with the modern neurobiology of addiction. Finally An accessible explanation of how certain vulnerable individuals cross the indivisible line with their substance use, developing a permanent abnormal response to intoxication experience. How intoxication and emotional bonding with a chemical imprints a person's brain, creating euphoric memory and feedback loops that fuel obsessive rumination and the seeking of the mood-altering substance. For the person new to recovery, or the person contemplating sobriety, The Disease of Addiction forms a solid, scientifically-backed foundation, upon which a program of recovery can be built. Preface My path to recovery began in 2008. A more formal study of addiction began three years later. After countless hours of empirical observation, participation in over a thousand twelve-step meetings, obtaining a graduate degree, and years treating the illness, it is apparent that addiction is not an easy subject to understand. However, knowledge is power After a close study of the best textbooks and reports elucidating the biology of addiction, I believe the information is sound and of the utmost importance. The challenge, then, lies in explaining a complex brain disease to a person with a dysregulated brain. Not to mention worried family members and loved ones and all the persons in our society who still believe addiction is a matter of choice. It has been my privilege to lecture on the disease of addiction to large treatment populations for years. Inspired by requests for written material beyond my lectures and on a personal mission to improve addiction education, I wrote this short book as a meditation exploring the evolutionary perspective of chemical use, the origins of the Alcoholics Anonymous program, current understanding of the neuroscience of addiction, and how scientific evidence substantiates the Twelve-Step solution. I speak directly to the person struggling with their chemical use who is ambivalent about change. In my eyes, they are the newcomer to recovery. And when discussing addiction, they are the sort for whom I am most concerned.Special thanks to my clients, mentors, colleagues, family, friends, and especially my wife for supporting this effort. I have learned many recovery lessons over the years. Here's an important one: I can only keep what peace and love I have by freely giving it away. In part, this is my love for you.…
