Query: A brilliant view of addiction

I picked this book up in a cathedral bookstore on the strength of the intreresting juxtaposition in its title. Dr. May is an MD neurologist and a certified spiritual counselor. In addition, he is recovering from several addictions himself. In brief, I think he has more insight into the nature of addiction and in what is involved in recovering from it than many others I've read. He goes right down to the synapse level to show how an addiction gets its hooks into you. His spirituality comes in, as it does with Twelve Steps, as indispensable to recovery. Here aagin, his insight is deeper and more thorough than conventional "higher power" discussions. On the strength of this experience I bought four others of his titles. What a pity that Dr, May is no longer with us.
