FROM ADDICTION TO RECOVERY

About the Book

"The story of becoming sober signifies a great deal more than simply not 'picking up' or 'using'. This is a story not only of recovery, but also of what it means to live in sobriety."
Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy
1st District, Rhode Island

"This book, written by a recovering addict who became a successful therapist, is a perfect road map for addicts, codependents, and therapists. Among the milestones are sobriety, emotional maturity, and personal responsibility."
Joseph A. Pursch, M.D.
Psychiatrist and Member of the President's Commission on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction

"A provocative and enlightening book that will inspire and touch the reader deeply. Highly recommended!"
Congressman Jim Ramstad
3rd District, Minnesota
Co-chair, Addiction Treatment and Recovery Caucus

"This is a highly readable book that will be inspirational to those struggling with alcohol or drug problems and enlightening for those unfamiliar with the recovery process."
George Kolodner, M.D.
Medical Director, Kolmac Clinic
Clinical Professor, Georgetown University School of Medicine
