"Pond's insights coupled with Palmer's section on evidence-based

their own addictions or concerned about their loved
ones."--Publisher's Weekly "A vividly written page-turner
...gripping and helpful"--Gabor Maté, The Globe and Mail "Few books
have captured so well the challenge of managing the disease of
addiction while simultaneously negotiating an often unresponsive
health care system" -- Dr Keith Humphreys, former Senior Drug
Policy Advisor, Obama Administration "With tactile intimacy and
surgical wit, Pond invites us to share the tragedy of his addiction

people quit. Truly one of a kind... A masterful job of describing
the indescribable." -- Dr. Marc Lewis, Neuroscientist and Author,
