I loved "The Seat of the Soul" by Gary Zukav. It gave me the push I needed to get sober. It showed me that my soul had a purpose.

And, I loved "Drinking: A Love Story" by Caroline Knapp. It's such a painfully revealling memoir of a young, high-functioning alcoholic woman and how she found her way to sobriety. Like many addicts, she formed a close bond with a dog, after her rehab stay and she wrote a book about the love between an animal and its owner called "A Pack of Two". Also, like many addicts, she had more than one addiction, anorexia being her first problem. She wrote a book called "Appetites: Why Women Want", which is also really good and delves into the complexities of anorexia.
