Customer Reviews

Wonderful and extremely helpful

This is a wonderful book that a friend gave me. It is easy to read and has been very helpful in my recovery from alcohol. In fact, I liked the book so much that I bought numerous copies for my counselor to give to anyone she thought might also be helped by it. I gave my own copy away and promptly bought another for myself because I always want to keep one available for reading again. It is that good.

I Would Recommend This Book

I work in recovery and this book is very good for people in the field, both men and women. It is a great overview of addiciton and recovery, and the scenarios and personal discussions are very useful illustrations of this terribe disease.
