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>
