The Recovering: Intoxication and Its Aftermath by Leslie Jamison

5.0

I’ve read many addiction/recovery books, but this one stands in the top three. It’s not just a memoir of the author’s journey with alcoholism, but a very well-researched account of addictions of writers, artists and ordinary AA members. The writing is excellent (which is not the case for most recovery memoirs). It’s a long book, but it kept me engaged. Highly recommended for those interested in this subject.
