Story Behind The Book

Then my parents sent me to a rehabilitation facility in Anaheim, CA. There, I learned a universal truth about addicts and alcoholics: Though we may all be sick...Some Are Sicker Than Others.

Mr. Seaward discusses in very explicit details the mental, psychological, and physical effects of withdrawal and the various stages of recovery. It is a very difficult book to read, but only because it is so honest and direct and confrontational. It forces the reader to view and accept the world of addiction and recovery.” <strong>–Ashley LaMar of <a href="http://www.closedthecover.com/8/post/2012/05/review-some-are-sicker-than-others.html"><font color="#810081">Closed the Cover</font></a> Book Reviews</strong></p></blockquote>
