Very helpful book - practical and insightful

This book is written by one who knows what it's like to suffer through the devastation of a relapse after "working a program". The author speaks about her own experience which led her to explore ways to help others and in the process of reading about this, I felt as if she was speaking one on one to me. Although non-judgmental, both the book and the accompanying workbook require a commitment to work which, as the author knows, most addicts/alcoholics are willing to do to end the relapse cycle which is so painful to them. It takes the mystery out of why those who try fail, the stigma out of admitting that you need to look at what is missing in your recovery program and , even better, does it all with a great deal of empathy. Tough love with a smile. Thanks for a great book.
