Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Addressed primarily to recovering addicts and their families, this book relies heavily on the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) game plan for success. The question-and-answer format is conducive to a personalized approach and will appeal to the individual struggling to make progress on the road to recovery. Beginning with ``First Step: Deciding to Quit,'' the book offers guidelines and encouragement and outlines the pitfalls and challenges that each addict must face and overcome. The detox process is graphically described, and the authors emphasize the hard work needed to maintain sobriety. The last part of the book is devoted to recommendations for rebuilding and restructuring one's life with the help of AA. For self-help collections.-- Carol R. Glatt, VA Medical Ctr. Lib., Philadelphia

    Excellent Book!

    This book is jammed with information that is otherwise not addresses in standard AA literature. It complements - no contradicts - AA and does so extremely well. It answers many questions about chemical dependence (not just alcohol). It serves as an excellent roadmap for recovery starting from active use. Worth every penny!!
