America is a nation of addicts. And what we are addicted to isn’t necessarily illegal or even hard to come by. Prescription medications are making us high. Fast food is making us fat. The Internet keeps us constantly distracted with everything from porn to gambling to compulsive social networking. Television bombards us with violent scenarios. From billboards, to online pop ups to commercials, we're seduced into buying more stuff we don't need while we drown in growing debt. Massive profits fill the pockets of a handful of “pushers” at the expense of everyone else. These pushers are creating the illusion that the more we have, the better we are, and so we crave whatever it is they are selling and have become addicted to their products in the process. This is the manner in which Americans are being seduced into self-destructive behavior on a mass scale.

The United States of America was created precisely to celebrate “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” But almost everything being presented to us as a “free choice” is being designed, packaged, and sold in a way to get us hooked so we keep coming back for more. Our addictions have robbed us of our freedom of choice, turning us into consumer slaves, cogs in a culture of overconsumption.

The new book "Addict Nation," by TV Host Jane Velez-Mitchell offers a view into our world from the unique perspective of a recovering addict. She asks the question, are we headed for a dismal future marked by gluttony and greed? Are we already there?
This book will show you how you can resist the siren call of those who would profit off your misery, allowing you the freedom and joy that is rightfully yours as an American.


There is a way to break the shackles and experience liberation from the bonds of social contagions. Addict Nation is our blueprint for making the necessary changes. This is a national intervention!
