Fantastic Book! We need all the help we can get and this information helped me know some of the essentials in early sobriety. There is so much insight and advice for a newcomer or anyone in recovery. Thanks for sharing your Experience, Strengths, and Hope.

As a very excellent friend…all I can say is that this book is a must read for ALL! It will not only help all trying or trying again and again to be in recovery, but also for the family tree and friends who need a modest insight on what they might have missed or not fully understood about being an addict. My feelings were truly changed from the pages of this incredible book and I have a better appreciation and understanding from the “other side”…I can not wait for a follow up to get more information and knowledge of what to do to help and encourage the ongoing process of recovery.

This book is incredible! I found it to be right on target with what I have been going through… It addressed many issues one might experience in the early days of recovery and even years with the choice was made to quit using. Thank you for a very informative and helpful book!!!!!!!!

This book would have been so helpful to me, as I started by new life of recovery. I did not know what to expect. This book is very approachable, humorous and spot-on. I would recommend it to anyone trying to live the clean and sober life and to the friends and family tree of a loved one. Simply an invaluable resource.

I started reading this during my 2nd week in recovery, and the author is absolutely right when she says it’s hard to pay concentration to anything or find anything amusing when in early recovery. But, this book is the exclusion! Most of the chapters are 1 1/2 – 2 pages long and they have serious content mixed with humor. She touches on all the valuable things a recovering alcoholic/addict should know, but doesn’t dive into details. It’s a perfect read before you’re ready to go to meetings/groups or before you are ready to know them. Really, it’s a perfect read anytime!! Thank you so much for writing a book that has all the info we need to know right now without all the background and health check stuff that I can’t seem to focus on right now!!!
