What do James Frey and Bill Clinton have in common? They were both secret keepers, and their secrets may have toppled their careers. Millions of people hide often debilitating addictions from their closest friends and family. Even less harmful secrets can isolate a person. This book explores how to break the secret-keeping habit and get the help and support needed to overcome addiction, rebuild self-esteem and live honestly. The author is himself a former drug and alcohol addict and now a counsellor working with at-risk youth and drug addicts. "Secret Keeping" is the culmination of that work. The first part of the book explores the human tendency to keep secrets and profiles a variety of secret keepers from all walks of life and with a wide range of addictions. The second part helps readers examine and understand their own addictions and secret keeping and offers a clear, step-by-step approach to healing and recovery.
