More About This Book

Overview

Through the life-changing intervention staged by Dr. Phil on his show, Gammill not only committed to getting help for her addiction, but she also went on to become a professional interventionist, helping thousands of others in distress. In The Interventionist, Gammill's own story is intertwined with depictions of her often harrowing and always inspiring interventions and those of some of the addicts and families she's worked with over the years. In each chapter she recounts details of a client's unique battle with addiction and the devastation that led to a loved one's request for her help.

Gammill's story—and the stories of the brave people who come to her for help—demonstrates how it is possible to emerge from the seemingly hopeless world of out-of-control drug use and not only regain one's sanity, but actually discover that life clean and sober can be more meaningful than it ever was before.

    I LOVED THIS BOOK

    This one of the best books on addiction. The author is an addict herself, who writes with candidness, honesty and light-hearted humor (she does this without sounding mean or spiteful) about her own addiction, while weaving in stories of how she helps other addicts get help for their addiction to drugs or alcohol. For anyone with the disease of addiction, or for the "normie", who wants a well-written glimse into an addict's life. It was so well-written. I could identify with so many of the ways she described her craving, her disease and pain of going through withdrawals.
    Highly recommended!
