Reviews
"Steven has done a masterful job in writing a book that will captivate and inspire not only those working in the addictive disease field, but also the addict, their family and the recovering. It is a story that precisely exemplifies the power of addiction and the miracle of recovery."
- Ed Storti, Intervention Specialist
"Rarely do we see an individual in recovery dig so deeply into their own personal experience with addiction that they are not only able to connect with others who've shared similar experiences, but they are also able to grab the attention of anyone who's ever known or worked with someone suffering from an addictive disease; Steven George has remarkably done just that in this powerful and important book."
