The A-word Addiction Nancy Stark Muyskens

WE ARE ALL ADDICTS ... Every one of us, without exception, is dependent. We all have needs. The question is: What are we dependent on? What is our addiction? This book is about our emotional/nurturing need and what happens when we fail to look to God in order to get that need met. We enter into a life of performance, hoping that it will provide the A-words we crave: Acceptance, Approval, Affirmation, Admiration, and Appreciation. We become A-word addicts. Nancy explains how our addiction to A-words causes us to fall into unhealthy patterns of forfeiture and control. Do we forfeit our boundaries for the sake of peace, or do we attempt to control others in order to feel needed?
