"Hopeful, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable reading." --Michele L. "Clearly written, forthright, and honest accounts of pain, loss, hurt, and the gradual emergence of hope and recovery through both Twelve Step programs and mental health services. This book will provide a heart-warming map for many readers." --Bert Pepper, MD, executive director, The Information Exchange, Inc.; clinical professor of psychology, New York University School of Medicine "This book fits totally with our integrated model for treating mental illness and addiction with a parallel disease and recovery model. More important, it puts the dual diagnosis recovery process into human terms that people with dual diagnosis can identify with and use." --Kenneth Minkoff, MD, assistant professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
