rosemaryandrue's review against another edition

Visceral, honest and inspiring. The author makes his journey through recovery accessible to all readers, whether or not they have personally passed through similar experiences. I appreciated that the book focused on the author's progress toward getting clean, so that the few times when he recounts his earlier experiences are hard-hitting without becoming over-whelming. Sometimes I had trouble following the timeline of events, but that is a minor criticism.
