I Know You Are, But What Am I?: The Void in Addiction series (Book Four) Kindle Edition

I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?The Void in Addiction series — Book Four by Michael CelsoWhat if addiction isn’t just about substances or behaviors… but about a hollow place inside you that nothing seems to fill?In I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?, Michael Celso continues The Void in Addiction series with a penetrating exploration of the unseen forces that drive us toward self-destruction—and the equally powerful forces that can call us back home to ourselves.Blending psychology, trauma research, lived experience, and a deeply human spiritual lens, this book traces addiction from its earliest roots in unhealed wounds and soul fragmentation to its later expressions in cravings, toxic coping, and the desperate need to feel “enough” for just one moment.Inside, you’ll explore:The Echoes of Trauma – how early wounds quietly shape identity, attachment, and vulnerability to addiction.The Ego’s Gambit – the ways denial, distraction, and self-deception keep us locked in cycles of survival instead of healing.The Shattered Self – how parts of us split off to cope with pain, and what it really means to reclaim those fragments.Reclaiming the Void – transforming emptiness from a curse into a portal for meaning, purpose, and authentic selfhood.Connection, Boundaries, and Belonging – rebuilding relationships that support recovery instead of sabotage it.The Long Road of Recovery – practical guidance for sustaining change, preventing relapse, and integrating a new way of being.This is not a quick-fix manual or a sterile clinical text. It is a compassionate companion for:Those living with addiction or in recoveryLoved ones trying to understand what’s really going on beneath the surfaceCounselors, peers, and helpers seeking a deeper, more human framework for their workIf you have ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Who am I, really, beyond my past, my pain, and my patterns?” — this book is an invitation to find out.I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I? doesn’t just ask the question.It walks with you through the void until you can begin to answer it for yourself.
