Have not read the book or been to the rehab center. Nor have i done extensive research on it. I did glance through one of his books -- The Cure for Alcoholism -- one day at the book store.
I am leery of any program or book or person who suggests there is a cure for alcoholism. I simply do not believe that is true. But if it works for people, gets them sober, that is great.
To each their own path to sobriety. I choose AA. It works for me, and my life is vastly different today than it was 11 months ago. Heck, than it has ever been.
