This book really opened my eyes, ive been struggling with addiction since my teen years, im now 28 and still struggling. I now know there is other options, than the traditional AA. I respect AA and what it stands for and for the fellowship, it just has never worked for me. Great book, read it my second day in treatment in one day, could not put it down. Treatment didnt work as hard as I tried, I just couldnt focus. Everyone has different issues. I suggest buying this book if yourself, friends or family are struggling with addiction. I passed it on to a friend after i was done reading it. I also suggest watching the documentary about the author, Mike Pond on CBC’s The Nature of Things.
