Overview

Whether addicted or not, we all have stories to tell

The stories of tragedy and redemption found within Tales of Addiction are not about the well known celebrities you find in the usual tabloids. Rather, these stories are true-grit tales told by people you will never meet but whose words will haunt you for months, years maybe. The author collected the stories for over two years through a "call for stories" she put in journals, workshops and lectures. Interwoven throughout, Barbara and her son share their own story of pain and struggle. In this book, you'll learn:
* How an addict's life begins
* Understand the difficulties in taking initial steps to uncover denial
* Intimate details of how many stay straight and sober
* Gain a new perspective about our national addiction population
* Learn why that Something More means so much to so many
* What happens when the addict or alcoholic loses their battle
* How you can help


"This inspiring and penetrating new book by Dr. Barbara Sinor shows us how we gather the courage and the force of will to make a transformational change."
--Mark Thurston, PhD, author Willing to Change: The Journey of Personal Transformation

Editorial Reviews

Bill Ford
"Like a tapestry, this book works by holding the reader's interest with unique tales smoothly interwoven with both a spiritual and intellectual thought process."
--Bill Ford, Addiction Recovery Blog
Irene Watson
Poignant, reflective, and offering the knowing there is hope and recovery, "Tales of Addiction" gives the reader the sense they are not alone. But most of all, the stories reflect compassion and in the end the true identity of each person.

"These heart-wrenching and ultimately heartwarming stories, provide the inspiration for each one of us to know that recovery works."
--Ken Seeley, PhD, host of Intervention 911, author, Face It and Fix It
Rev. Steve Doolittle
"Filled with stories of heroic struggle, victory and defeat, it is both illuminating and inspiring. The book is intensely personal yet sadly universal, the stories recounted are for anyone touched by the trials of addiction."
S. Doolittle, author "From the Heart: Five Minute Inspirations"
