Whether addicted or not, we all have stories to tell

The author collectedthe stories for over two years through a "call for stories" she put in journals, workshopsand lectures. Interwoven throughout, Barbara and her son share their own story of painand struggle. In this book, youll learn:

How an addicts life begins

Intimate details of how many stay straight and sober

Gain a new perspective about our national addiction population

Learn why that Something More means so much to so many

What happens when the addict or alcoholic loses their battle

How you can help
