Summary: 3 Stars
Sober.... And staying that way
Just as Susan composes herself on TV, she is the same way in her writing. Over the top and a bit edgy. In my opinion there are sections of the book that could have been cut. Now why am I supporting Lady Powter's Book? Because she cuts thru the bull of treating alcoholism. She freely exercises her freedom of speech; with her own style and trademark flair.
Susan Powter's attack is to actually TREAT alcoholism, as apposed to simply standing still and staying sober, calling someone in the middle of the night and constantly living one day at a time. Thru the author's eyes, you are able to see past that life threatening next drink. Incidentally, that next drink will not only bring you back to where you were when you last practiced your alcoholism, but you will find that your dis-ease has much advanced, perhaps even doubled. Dearheart, don't go there!
The foundation for her argument in treating alcoholism is laid down in a concrete detailing of nutrition. For instance: consuming sugary products to ease the cravings only keeps the cravings alive and creates the "dry drunks"
She brings power to the word "Surrender".
If that isn't enough, the haunting way she describes the terror that alcohol brings to the body's organs will leave you feeling sick. However biter her medicine may be, her humor adds a spoon full of sugar (pun intended) to help.
