Kristen Johnston - 2 time Emmy award winning actress, NYT Best selling author and recovery advocate says:
"Veronica Valli has written one of the clearest, most fascinating & truly helpful books on addiction I've ever read.
To me, it's up there with 'Clean' by David Sheff, except from the viewpoint of someone who's in long term recovery.
Whether you're struggling now & need help, have struggled in the past, or you've ever loved an addict, this book pierces through the confusing and terrifying misinformation that surrounds this disease.
From the first page to the last, I was completely enthralled by this brilliantly researched, refreshingly straightforward & delightfully compelling book."
