PRAISE FOR SOBER FOR GOOD  From professionals "The press kit for Anne M. Fletcher's new book, Sober for Good, states, 'Sometimes one book can make a difference.' After reading the book, I could not agree more strongly — In this book, there is a path to recovery for virtually everyone, including those who have tried repeatedly to escape the yoke of alcohol and those who believe they can never give up drinking." — Jane Brody, Health Columnist, New York Times "This is a wonderful book — well written, full of hope and useful information, and positive at every turn. It is remarkably balanced and constructive in a field that is often doctrinaire and partisan. A must-read for anyone concerned about their own or another's drinking, as well as for health-care professionals." — Barbara S. McCrady, Ph.D., clinical director, Center of Alcohol Studies, Rutgers University "I think Anne's book should be required reading for counselors and other health care providers who work with recovering people. Her research has revealed and clarified some of the most important issues about how people recover and stay changed." — Howard Shaffer, Ph.D., Director, Division on Addictions, Harvard Medical School "If you are considering a change in your drinking habits, there is no better place to start than Sober for Good. This is a comprehensive overview — a highly informative, scientifically accurate, and inspiring account of recovery in its many manifestations." — A. Thomas Horvath, past president, American Psychological Association, Addictions Division "This book reflects a hope-filled truth: that there are many different successful paths to recovery." — William R. Miller, Ph.D., Co-Director, Center of Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions, University of New Mexico "A page-turning book, rich in how-to methods. This is the only balanced presentation of the state-of-the-art truths on recovery that I have ever read." — Marc F. Kern, Ph.D., founder and director of Addiction Alternatives "What a gem this book is." — Cindy Swan-Henderlite, Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor, MN "I highly recommend this book for readers who are seeking pathways to sobriety for themselves or for others they hope to inspire." — G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D., Director, Addictive Behaviors Research Center, University of Washington " A useful book for both DWI treatment providers and their clients. It is not often in my professional career that I run across a self-help book that is both a good read and provides helpful information. Sober for Good is one of those books." — Reid Hester, Ph.D., Director, Research Division, Behavior Therapy Associates, Albuquerque, NM "Effective remedies are treasures. This book is among them. Despite the fact that most people use it responsibly, alcohol causes more damage to individuals, families, community, and the nation than all of the illegal drugs combined." — PRESS-TELEGRAM, Los Angeles-Long Beach, California From Lay Readers "Sober for Good offers a wealth of insight and information that will help anyone who seeks personal recovery or wishes to help others to recover." — Fred A., 16 years sober with AA and Smart Recovery "Gentle "Bill W." — co-founder of AA — would find no quarrel with SOBER FOR GOOD.... I'd make this book part of any "suggested" readings about personal alcohol problems." — Albert S., 9 years sober with AA "Sober for Good is a revelation to me! I had no idea there were SO many options out there for recovery. Thanks to this book I feel hopeful." — Kim K., new to recovery "Sober for Good is changing my life. To someone else, having 2 to 3 glasses of wine a day may not look like a big deal. But I recently became aware that I had been drinking too much — for me." — Beth G. in California "I really enjoyed this book and feel that it would be very helpful to anyone who is going through the same thing I am. The most important part for me in this book for me was the realization that alcohol does not have to be a part of your life to have fun." — Stephanie C., Junior in college "Truly excellent. I wish Sober for Good had been available back in 1988, when I first tried to quit drinking and thought that AA was the only game in town. If more people would be told that there are many different paths to sobriety — then they potentially could be saved a lot of grief." — Alex C., SOS member in New York State |
