What Dee said.
This book gave me the courage to see myself as a person with a problem. She showed me that there was a path to becoming a better happier person through recovery.
I thought I couldn't be a drunk because I was so "functional" on the outside. She put exact words to how I was feeling on the inside--a terrified, scared, self-loathing mess--but couldn't own up to because I felt guilty about it.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
