Great Read

This is the best recovery book I have read. Paul does a great job on explaining what an addict goes through. This book helps the addict, friends, and family of the addict understand more about the addiction. He also touches base on other addiction not just drug addiction. If you are an addict or know families of an addict I'd suggest offering this book to them to read. Thank you Paul for writing such an informative book on addiction. If you're considering another book I'd read it in a heartbeat. May God bless you and your family.

It Really Is ok To Let Go Sometimes

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014

First I would like to say thank you to the author for sharing his journey with me. I too am a recovering addict. To God be the Glory for the things he has done. I have a sister who is still active. I had to let her go or go insane. This book helped me through the process. It reminded me of my powerlessness over other people and the choices they make. Drugs and alcohol are evil spirits. I like the way the author talked about demonic forces as he described his addiction. It took a lot of courage for him to put it out there using such terms. I can relate. Thank you. This book can be an encouraging tool for any one who pick it up. It doesn't matter if you are an addict in or out of recovery you will find yourself somewhere in there. It can be a powerful tool for those of us who love an addict be it family or friend. Addicts are too much for any one to carry. I would recommend this book to a person who has done all they can for the addict(s) in their life. It showed me how to let go and it let me know that letting go doesn't mean I am giving up on a loved one it means that I trust God with their well being.

Awesome! Must read book for families (and addicts)!

This is a must read for anyone who is living this nightmare. It has truly helped me understand the disease of drug addiction. As a former hater (if that is a word) of drug addicts, I have truly opened my heart and felt their pain after reading this book. Beating this horrible disease is of the same magnitude as beating cancer. The choice in the beginning was theirs, the disease takes over, runs rampantly all on its own, then again at the end the choice again belongs to the addict. There are no drugs to ease the pain as there is in cancer. But there is a God who will be there and this book truly shows that With God all things are possible! Thank you for the hope you have given me for my son in law who I love dearly.

This book speaks truth. No matter who you are, if addiction has touched your life, this book will help you. Paul's story is simular to mine in many ways. What he has to offer would have helped me at any stage of my life. Thank you Paul for taking the time to write this book. I will definitely read it again and highlight the things that are familiar or words that I still need to hear today. I just found out I can highlight on a digital copy using my Kindle. You go boy! All the best to you and your future endeavors.

Awesome read for addicts and their loved ones.

A truly inspiring story of pauls life, journey and recovery, shows that no matter what life deals to you, you have the power to change it. As a loved one of an addict it spoke volumes, reassured me that sometimes the choices have made are what are needed. This book is written by someone who has a talent to write in ways that contain wisdom, knowledge and experience. His writing style has a way of being easy to understand even to someone who has no experience in the world of Meth. paul shares what worked for him but he is also open to other avenues of recovery, this really shows his understanding meth addiction. I also appreciated the fact that he acknowledged that we are all individuals and that sometimes cutting addicts off isn't always the solution. Thank you paul.

I am so thankful to Paul for writing this book. Although it had me in tears, because it broke my heart knowing how drugs/alcohol destroy lives, what I love about it is this book also acknowledges the families point of view. We are so wrapped up with trying to help our loved one, it was nice to read about what we go through. It truly was very helpful and I would recommend it to anyone. I already purchased some additional books to give out to my friends who are going through this. It is an excellent book and very well written. God Bless You Paul. xoxooxoxoxox

Wow!!! What a great book. Paul you are an amazing testimony to recovery and God. I especially liked your personal story. I would also like to go to college to become a substance abuse counselor because I think it's a great way to give back. I love how you included the family of the addict's perspective. I will definitely let my family read this book as well. Very inspiring. I did notice quite a few spelling errors though.
