The Gates of Hell

The Italian poet Dante described his descent into hell in his classic work, The Divine Comedy. Eight Hundred years later, Jim Daly, M.D., follows Dante's path and descends into the darkness. But Daly's hell is not a fictional collection of ancient and medieval miscreants and demons; rather it is the very real abyss of addiction. As Daly struggles out of the depths, he is aided by fellow sufferers. Together, they travel a treacherous path to recovery. Read this remarkable story of a man tested to the maximum, a man who at the last moment finally realizes he has the strength to climb back from utter disaster. Read how love, humor, and simple "true grit" come together and allow him to reclaim his place in the sun.
