Food, alcohol, drugs, gambling - all are destructive habits that lead to hazardous addictions, which for many people become a lifelong battle to quit before it is too late. Author Russell Ward embodies this similar attitude with his new book, Don't "De"lete Me! which presents a series of products, techniques and general advice with a witty touch and genuine care. The book separates dangerous habits into four distinct categories, entitled "De-fat-lization", "De-drug-lization", "De-alcohol-ization" and "De-gamble-ization". Each introduces a subject "character" that personify different methods you can use to combat your cravings while seeing the lighter side of the sinful desires. Try some of the "Slimmer" solutions that will playfully stop food abusers from indulging in their habits through the use of methods such as sirens, motion-detecting locks and even a Welcome mat that is a hidden scale. Or, read about the adventures of Kid Resistor as he battles his enemy Dak Druggery, an evil drug dealer, while teaching readers of how toxic drug abuse can be for them. We must single out abuse, whatever it is, and ridicule or "make fun" of it before it becomes an addiction. As we know, addictions that get out of control may cause serious problems in all areas of life. We must learn to reject whatever is bad for us. When we can see our abuse as situations to be dealt with, we can become free to be the masters of our own lives. WE CAN BE VICTORS OVER OUR OBSSESSIONS
