It's probably worth 10 bucks
Felt like the CBT was too watered down compared to a book like Burns Feeling Good to have been such an emphasis in the text.
I liked the causes of addiction section and shame as a relapse trigger.
Also found the later sections were fairly weak.
I felt she could have sacrificed some of the repetition of "get support" to offer some advice for actually navigating getting the sort of support you need. I can't believe it's only me who would have that problem, given that 2/3 of her stigma sections involve hiding your addiction from others.
But I suppose as a counselor you probably don't see a lot of people who aren't capable of getting support in any way. An unfortunate filter.

Although there is a fair amount of valuable information in this book, and that information does work, sure, when it comes to recovery from my own personal experience, this information is but a small piece of the larger puzzle.
Regardless of my personal views here though, this is more informative in the sense of someone that has indeed just come out of a treatment program as a tool to their continued recovery process. One of those many tools needed for life in order to stay sober...
Worth the read.

Great Insight and Solutions
I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to overcome addiction. This book should be required reading for everyone entering a recovery program.

I read this for a class, but it has good, practical information for a person or group trying to overcome addiction or who is in recovery.

For 99p this grabbed my curiosity. It's been over 5 1/2 years since i quit smoking, over 2 years since i quit alcohol, but i keep hold of a few nagging little addictions -- like too much cocoa/chocolate/coffee and vaping -- which i keep trying to rid myself of but keep finding myself back at. So i gave this book a go with an open mind.
It certainly made me re-think a lot of things about addiction, especially my previous love of alcohol. And it's also given me some ideas on moving forward with my life from here and next steps i might take.
It's difficult to judge how much value any of these addiction books will be to anyone. It all depends on the addiction, the reason, the circumstances, the too many variables of life to mention. But i do think there's something in this book for most people who are wanting to deal with one or more of their addictions.
It's approached well, the beginning of the book being about wanting to quit and preparing to, then moving onto actually quitting in the middle of the book and finally to post addiction life.
So for 99p in a Kindle deal, i think it was a really good bargain. I certainly got a lot out of it, and if you are serious about getting sober and off your poison then give it a read. No, not all of it will speak to you, but read enough books like this and do a pick and mix of ideas and techniques from each of them that work for you and you to can soon be on the road to a life without addiction -- if you really want to.
At the end of the day, it's up to you. Reading any book on addiction recovery can only help so much, it's you that has to really want it, and if you do then books like this will have some good help and advice for you.
