Sarina Wheatman

    Drawing from a thirty-year career as an addiction therapist in the UK, Holland, and Jersey, this author brings a wealth of practical experience to her writing. Having achieved extended sobriety herself through the methods she espouses, she aims to 'change perceptions one book at a time.' Her work stems from a deep-seated amazement at how little addiction is understood, particularly the societal stigma that prevents individuals from seeking help. She endeavors to contribute to altering the grim statistics of addiction-related deaths, viewing it as a mental health catastrophe needing a rebrand.

      Twisted Wires refers to the crazy mixed up world of addiction. Twisted thinking and behaviour and attitudes abound about this subject. Surely in this day and age we could have a more cohesive attitude about it all? If this were to happen, maybe, just maybe we could have a better way of treating the problem, or detecting it before it became a problem. You have to agree the statistics about this disease are devastating, to live with it or to love someone who has it is the most perplexing thing ever. Addicts are the modern day lepers of society. Shunned, despised and most definitely misunderstood.
