Inside the book

Addiction examined as a system under load, with attention to pressure, environment, and recovery.

The Breaking Point extends the Protocol Library into addiction and recovery. It is built around a systems proposition: a behavior can be harmful and still be serving a function inside an overloaded life. Durable change begins by understanding that function without romanticizing its cost.

This edition is still taking shape. Its status will be updated here as the production work advances.
