Addiction in the Jewish Community

I NEED YOUR HELP!

I am working on a book about addiction in the Jewish community. I believe there are issues that are unique to our community that stand in the way of recovery for many Jews.

The working title of this book is No Jewish Addicts... and Other Myths. Its goal is to bring Jewish issues out into the open, to help people understand and recognize all types of addiction (drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, spending, and so on), and to provide resources for dealing with these issues.

Please help. Your anonymity will be protected at all times. This survey software does not automatically capture the e-mail address of the respondent. If you feel more comfortable, you can get a free non-identifying e-mail address at gmail.com or yahoo.com.

Thanks.

P.S. The book will include the (anonymous) excerpts from the stories, experiences, and anecdotes of as many people as possible. For more information, or to contribute your story, please write to GKarlitz1@aol.com or NoJewishAddicts@aol.com. THANKS SO MUCH!
