Awesome

My brother and his wife started using ICE 3 years old after someone gave them a baggie to suck on at a local club. They thought it was speed but it was Meth. Both of them have been addicted since that time. My brother was finally incarated in May and has come to realize that he has a serious problem. While in jail, he could have 3 books. I went online and found this one. He absolutely loved this book and agrees with everything that was said. All of his cell mates have read the book, most of them addicted to Meth as well, and they loved it. The only thing I wish is that they would offer it in Paperback. We had to tear the hard cover off in order for the jail to accept it.

End time drug

Awesome book. This isn't your Dad's 12 step program! Meth is a poison straight out of hell. Want free, inside and out? Dr. Mary Holley's book breaks down the drug first from a scientific aspect then from a spiritual aspect. There are many ways to try to stop using drugs but the only true way to be free from this death is through the cleaning power of Jesus Christ. Dr. Holley's Book is a perfect guide to freedom and redemption. Thank you Dr. Holley for your commitment and obedience. God bless you! (Eph 6:12)

Compelling and personal look at the tragedy of meth abuse

The author is not only a medical doctor, but she has firsthand experience with losing a brother to suicide and methamphetamine abuse. Powerful and compelling, she leaves no stone unturned in her exploration of this awful drug. Her mention of Biblical passages is hardly 'in-your-face' as some have described it. She is simply sharing her own beliefs as every author on the planet does. She is gentle and compassionate throughout the text, and was probably the only reason her brother lived as long as he did. I learned so much about crystal meth and what it is doing to our society and our world. This book should be on every drug counselor or intervention specialist's book shelf! Fantastic!

Meth Intervention Specialist

Crystal Meth: They Call It Ice is the most compelling and definitive understanding available on the scourge of methamphetamine addiction. Having done extensive research myself and worked personally with many meth addicts and their families these past years Dr. Mary Holley certainly knows the meth journey inside-out. Her medical expertise is invaluable information to anyone connected to meth. The clear explanations of the biochemistry and neurological destruction of methamphetamine is a must read. This work also rightly understands the relational component to sustained recovery from meth. Whether one would agree or not that Christian faith is the key to sustained sobriety my own work with meth addicts agrees with Dr. Holley that change "only" take place in the context of meaningful relationship.
