Review:I like the way she writes - very honestly and straightforward. Her story is familiar to me and I felt comfortable reading her words. There is no lecture, no judgement. There is only a good description of the choices we face and why we thought (or think) that booze can help us through them. Read more

Review:Recently, I moved home to assist with my disabled parents. In that move, two houses were combined into one. Because of the short amount of time between my lease ending and having to move, everything just got shoved into the garage and other free space. You know the old adage - I'll just get to it later. Well later has lead to some serious stress about where to go now. To try and make some headway, I decided to purchase a book. Something to try and give me a starting point since I am seriously ov...

Review:Through most of this book I thought this woman is the biggest loser ever. I guess you really have to hit rock bottom before some spiritual being takes over, in her case it happened. I only hope this is the case for so many who have lost their way through drugs and alcohol. Read more

Review:Anybody who is a fan of science and reality should check this book out. Dr. Goldacre encourages alternative medicine to be recognized as medical practitioners just as soon as they produce scientifically reproducible experiments. The book is not a tale told by a snob, but rather a story about how science works and how everything else fails. If you actually want to know how evidence based medicine works, I can recommend no better book. Read more

Review:Maybe this book is good for people who are actually planning on entering a 12-step program, but as someone who read it just out of general interest, I found it to be incredibly repetitive, and felt the entire book could have been shrunk down to a 25 page booklet, including all the checklists and tables. There was very little actual material in the book, and it seemed every other chapter was a direct repeat of the previous chapter.

It wasn't so bad as to not want to finish it (it took me a... Read more

Review:This book is a refreshing challenge to the mind, body, spirit, and self that inspires liberation. A liberation from the old version of who you think you are, a liberation from hating anything you put in your mouth, and a liberation to be a whole and healthy person. Take the time to read, and truly digest what she is saying. Hate it, love it, accept it, thrive with it. Read more

Review:This was an absolutely amazing book! I searched for reviews and read all the reviews I could before I bought it wondering if it could help me..... It did in so many ways, I'll probably end up reading it a few more times to make sure i don't miss out on anything! Read more
