Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-30 00:00:00 Alex Mezez Amazing! This book has scared me off alcohol, I'm not sure for how long but definitely a while. Barnaby Conrad takes the reader through his time in rehab. The story is rich, detailed and filled with emotion. I found myself welling up at one point - a big shot businessman wanted to leave rehab and the support group got him to lay down as though he was in a coffin and began to impersonate his close family and friends. Really touching. The book is written by a professional writer and it shows. Expert level prose. A couple of quotes I liked are "Do you want to make it a mountain you'll never climb or a pebble you step over every day." and more humorously "she had a voice that could worm a dog." The advice given to anyone with a problem with alcohol is don't drink, tell people you are allergic to it rather than say you are an alcoholic. 5 stars: Must read again, and soon!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-31 00:00:00 Dude James I usually just rate books and skip the review part but I have to say a few words about this one. A year ago I was in rehab for alcohol use disorder and by the grace of God I am now sober and thriving. I've read many books about addiction and treatment and believe this one hit closest to home, even though it was published a while ago. Was definitely an accurate representation of what treatment was like. Highly recommend!
