End Your Addction Now is a great info read...also have read some novels, stories, about addiction and recovery that were good...DRY, A Million Little Pieces, and My Friend Leonard
Thanks for the suggestion, I sent this book to my ex-fiance who is an addict, we just recently broke up so I am really worried about him and he is really liking it so far! thanks again. I'm reading it myself as well!
tHIS IS JUST A COOL LITTLE BOOK THAT YOU SKIP CHAPTERS AND GO BACK AND FORTH. IT REALLY HELPED ME TO GET STARTED GETTING MY LIFE TOGETHER. I AM NOW READING A BOOK CALLED THE VELVETEEN WOMAN THAT SHOWS US THAT JUST BECAUSE WE AREN'T PERFECT DOESN'T MEAN WE AREN'T HUMAN!
i have been reading alot myself to see why i like to numb myself and not be my self. thanks for the info i have been needing to find a new book just got done with my last one. this also was a great book it call "the power of postive thinking" by norman peale. my dad got it for on amazon.com (he is a recovering alcholic) and it really help me see how i looked at myself on the inside. the best line was "i always judged myself by my intentions, and everyone else judged me by my actions. anyway thaks for the info and my prayers go to all of us.
I found that little book at Wal-Mart for less that $10 bucks. It is amazing how little sobriety costs but we don't want to accept it. Yet we will spend thousands on our addictions and not think twice.

Lady I'm going to look for that book. I need all the inspiration I can get. Seems like I have a hard time concentrating on reading. I can't figure that one out. but thought I start with an eye exam. My eyes are aging.
I try to read any book that i can get my hands on, lol. Reading helped me so much. Makes you forget about certain things at certain times! lol.
I will certainly be looking for the book you mentioned. Maybe i could tell my family about the life i led then! You never know!!!!
Cograts to you on your time clean from sleeping pills and pain meds. Keep up the good work sweetie!
