A No Bulls & %t Book for Real People

I've read many books about addiction recovery, including the AA Big Book. I've been to a psychiatrist and to a licensed addiction treatment program. This book has been more helpful to my recovery than all of that combined. In a day and age when it is unpopular to take personal responsibility for one's behavior, it is refreshing to read a book that acknowledges both personal responsibility and personal empowerment. I have found this book to so helpful that I listen to the audio version in my car every day, to and from work. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is willing to take responsibility for their life and addiction.

Makes you think...

This book is a practical, refreshing alternative to 12-step programs. Irreverent, raw, and thought-provoking. A great read for anyone who thinks they *might* have a problem with alcohol. The author's unique take on sobriety is served up with humor, insight, encouragement and honesty, and he writes it in a way that feels friendly and personal. I was at a place in my life where I knew I had to stop drinking and this book has been a great companion and guide to getting through the first few rough weeks. The realization that only I can decide what I will or will not put in my body is terrifying, yet completely liberating at the same time! I can CHOOSE not to drink. It's not easy, but I've realized that it's worth it. As I progress in my sobriety, I will recommend this book to anyone who expresses a desire to do the same.

enlightened concepts of sobriety and addiction

I very much appreciated the author's novel approach to getting sober and staying that way. He has some great strategies for living in a world that is filled with booze and other temptations. I am glad to know that there is somthing besides AA that can help people conquer an addiction. Addiction is not a like one size fits all t-shirt and the 12 step approach isn't for everyone. this is a great option and you don't even need to be a drunk to reap the rewards of these sensible suggestions. It is an interesting combination of part self-help part memoir. I strongly recommend this book I very strongly recommend this book
