I haven't read the book and I most likely won't read it.
Having said that I would be interested to know what their view on other programs of recovery are. AA is not the only program that holds abstinence as the ultimate goal of recovery. So does this couple also hold that WFS, AVRT, ect....are also a bunch of lies? Also, their theory on childhood trauma seems a bit off to me since I grew up in a very loving environment. It seems like a huge claim they make . . . I would be interested in hearing how they came to this conclusion.
