Dr. David Fawcett has authored a powerful commentary on methamphetamine dependence and addiction within the community of gay men. He explains with compelling clarity the complexities of how meth hijacks the human brain's pleasure centers. He highlights the insidious nature of meth's hold and spread intrapersonally and across the community, its seemingly inextricable intertwining with sexual behavior, the considerable challenges and difficulties of getting - and staying - clean and sober, and the ways in which gay men may be particularly vulnerable to meth's dangerous seduction. Throughout this book, Dr. Fawcett offers hope - through addiction recovery, therapeutic interventions, and other opportunities for growth and healing, and freedom from meth. This is an excellent resource for anyone seeking an empowering understanding of methamphetamine as well as solutions and remedies to its ravaging effects. I recommend this book highly! Read more

Hands down the best book ever written on Meth Addiction. This guy knows gay meth addicts inside and out and cites bone bending example after bone bending example to prove it. My thoughts through the first half of the book were “This guy REALLY gets it!!!” Now as far as the second half of the book and the solution that was way over my head and in my personal opinion is more suited for a therapist or professional to apply to their client. That’s why my therapist and I both bought a copy and read it. That allows him to safely walk me through the solution. Just my take on things. Read more
