This is an amazing addiction memoir. It's crazy how similar our stories are (except length of clean time. I got 4 yrs 7 months). Unfortunately, I had to remove a star for the repetition of "the God I didn't believe in". We get it! It was on every page it seems like. At one point in time, I ALMOST quit reading it because of that one line. Other than that, this has been one of my favorite addiction memoirs ever!
