If this is the first book one has read about recovery from substance abuse, it is remarkable. There are so many relatable anecdotes and tips for getting through the most difficult weeks/months/years.

If one has read many books on recovery and hoped this one would provide further insight , I did not find that here. Many of the recovery techniques, slogans, and advice is repeated here.

The author does not engage with reader regarding her own struggles but documents them. I felt the author remained at a distance regarding her own experience and decided to offer intellectual advice instead.

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC.
