About Finding "IT" Behind the Curtain of Addiction I want to help suffering people reach a point where they can recognize "IT". I want them to see "IT", even smell "IT" coming before it takes control of their thinking. It is my goal to pull back the curtain of their addiction and help reveal to them who or what is controlling their levers!This collection of short stories is intended to help suffering people identify what is behind their decision making and the source of their pain.In my story, "The Power of an Encouraging Word", I speak about peeling down to the CAUSE of a situation.

However, facing it gives us a chance to put together a positive, permanent solution. Two pictures come to mind when I think about addiction. The first one is riding a horse. When we are riding the horse and holding the reins, WE are in control, but if the horse is riding us, we're in trouble. It is BIG, STRONG and extremely heavy, so it might take us somewhere we don't want to go. The second picture I see is going into and being trapped in a dark room.
