Hardcover. Condition: Good. Alcoholism nearly cost Olivier Ameisen his job as a cardiologist, his family, his kidneys, even his life. This is the story of his remarkable recovery from a chemical dependency that ravages people all over the world, sparked by an article in the New York Times about one drug, commonly used as a muscle relaxant, with a fascinating side effect: it reduced the intensity of the cocaine cravings of a patient. So began a delicate trial of off-label self-medication, during which Dr. Ameisen managed to find a dosage of baclofen which cut off any craving for alcohol. Insightful and thought-provoking, 'The End of My Addiction' looks beyond will-power to the biological roots of substance abuse.
