Great book to show how to get better from depression!!
This tagged book is another book I need to read because someone recommended this book a long time ago in a narcissistic abuse support group I‘m in on Facebook. I‘ve heard good things about this one. I just added it to my Goodreads TBR. I‘ll read it eventually.
This book is quite intricate, blending elements of a memoir, an analysis of authors grappling with addiction, and an exploration of substance abuse treatment. Her memoir was particularly captivating and the most engaging aspect of the book for me. She also included stories of individuals she encountered during their recovery journey.

Surprise! Surprise! I am a bibliophile Clinical Psychologist, starting a Bibliotherapy group with some of my clients, reading and discussing this book them. How fitting for the #mentalhealth prompt today. #Julyjazz
A soft pick, but still a fun ride. I enjoy the concept of assassins (not serial killers) going through a 12 step program to help them stop killing as a lifestyle. It does add a dangerous element to the step where you make amends since most of those people have vowed to kill you.

The ending felt very unsatisfying. The whole book I felt like the ending was going to involve divorce, but the ending didn‘t even involve a proper ending or closure. This book is funny in the way of a Troost book, but it had a much darker tone because, ultimately, this is his addiction and recovery memoir. It‘s actually heartbreaking in some ways, and it‘s hard to put my finger on exactly why.
