Had chills. Beautifully written.

I was sucked into this book and couldn’t put it down. I’m not much of a reader. I don’t typically find any joy in it but, this book captivated me. True or not, it’s a great read!

Too much of the same stuff over and over

Incredible insight into the life of an addict, the impact on a family dealing with an addict, and hope for those dealing with addiction. Absolutely stunning.

Amazing read!! I could not put this book down! I would read this again and again!!!

So many of us can relate to this authors struggle and what a decision made during a poorly chosen time would manage to do to him for the majority of his life. I first read this when he first released it and it changed my heart, mind and soul for the very best. This book has undoubtedly RESONATED with millions. Frey’s genuineness,willingness to overcome his justifications, excuses and blame he points very quickly and loaded accusations with out wanted to take on what he has created that has caused the fallout and his current situation. First honest, raw, relatable narrative of its time and it was the pioneer of the internal battles that come along with addictions and the unfortunate less than SUB PAR rehabilitations and help anyone in this situation has to intervene, heal and redirect the mind set into other productive and healthy steps needed to rebuild their lives. There’s an exact portrait of just how little is provided for those fighting this battle and it’s come to several substance abuse specialists therapists and physicians that there needs to be serious, committed and devoted passes for the patients that gives them unwavering support and encouragement to keep fighting this dilenba. There needs to be more focus on rehab places community service and volunteerism as well as therapy and holistic approaches to heal this soul from the poison that have now taken hold of their minds, chased all their support systems away due to continued relapse and it’s a subject that actually did get America and other countries taking and more supporting of those still warring against these drugs that have stolen their lives and dreams of the future.

This book is one that you better have hours to dedicate to when you start reading because you won’t want to put it down! I loved it!!

I’m VERY upset. I just purchased this book after reading the free sample only to find that it is NOT a true story. I am struggling with addiction myself and it is heartbreaking that someone would make up such a hard thing to go through. Maybe I should write a book. I have actually TRUTHFULLY went through this stuff.

I really enjoyed this book. I wish it never ended !

I could not but this book down! This is an in-depth look at the author;s life at a rebalititation center. There he makes friends, and recalls parts of his life. Triumph over tragedy, indeed!
