Book Review: Into the mind of an addict
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put this book down, I was so caught up in it. I have a son who is addicted, and this really helped me to understand what was going on in his mind. I think this is a very frank, honest, unflinching, and courageous account of the author's struggles, and that of his family. It also shows how addiction is everywhere: even the most loving, understanding families and the best of people can raise/become an addict. The key to preventing relapse is honesty, surrender, and humility, and this evolution is clearly delineated in this account. And how wonderful that the author has used his struggle to help others, turning his hell into redemption. My son went to Hazelden where the author now works, and his reading this book helped his progress toward recovery.
