Excellent story of addiction and recovery
This book was excellent, not unlike "Broken" by Moyers, and it tells the same story of an addict (an intelligent, well-educated man with a great job and friends) who abandoned everything (a number of times, even after treatment) because of crack. I have been straight and sober now for 30 years, but have "been there". If you want a great, authentic read as well as a better understanding of addiction, this is the book for you.
