The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: Thanks for Saving Me
This book... I can't find the words to explain what it has done for me. I was drinking since I was 21, dabbling in drugs until I was 35. I spent 10 years as a full blown 'functioning' addict. I went through several rehabs, mental hospitals (Baker acted because I wasn't dying fast enough with the booze and drugs). I really did not want to quit, and deal with reality-no thanks. Recently, I went with my roommate on our weekly trip to the library. I was standing in front of the new book section and pulled a book out next to this one, your book then fell out and I thought, what the hell? Chris and Pax, without the gushy, drooling, wailing screams of gratitude, please accept my sincere thanks for saving me and my family and friends. I am trying to pass along the message (without beating it into my wounded friends with a message of hopelessness as in AA) but I am still learning the delicate balance of encouraging and being pushy. PS I did buy my own copy after returning the libraries copy.
