This book has helped me through some very hard times. It includes tips, and ways to stay clean and sober. It lists coping strategies for alot of life's problems in which you feel you have to use because of. It helps you plan living a new life without the drugs or alcohol. It shows us how to live again, and how to be free. This book has been an every day help for me. When I feel upset, I tend to want to use again, but I pick this book up, and it reminds me why I quit, it reminds me of who I am, and that I am loved by God, family, and dear friends. I cannot put this book down. I read, and reread parts of it daily. It helps me get through rough times. For anyone who is an addict, this book is a great tool to have around. I would definitely refer others to this book. Also, I would reccomend the family and friiends of addicts to check this book out. You can learn alot from it also.
