Over 100,000 Americans die yearly from overdoses, primarily from opioids taken to relax, calm the mind, and find happiness. For many, sustained happiness is the ultimate goal in life. In this engrossing memoir, mortal adhesions refer to addictions to alcohol, drugs, money, power, prestige, and the Seven Deadly Sins, which stick to us as tightly as post-surgical adhesions, causing intense pain and uncertainty.
Dr. John Sottosanti performed oral surgery for over forty years in San Diego, California. He is the author of many articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and invented products and techniques for bone growth, which he taught worldwide. He is a former president of the California Society of Periodontists and the San Diego Chapter of Legatus—an international organization of business leaders united in Christ.
He has a passion for truth and a strong desire to help others climb above a milieu of sin, mood-enhancing substances, and despair to realize sustained happiness and inner peace. Dr. Sottosanti has been married for over 50 years and has three sons and three grandchildren. He enjoys edifying books, road cycling, and golf.
