Story Behind The Book

I used to think I was a pretty sick person. One only had to look at my obscene alcohol consumption before drawing the same conclusion. 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.

<blockquote> <p style="font-size:13px;">“Gritty, compelling, and astonishingly moving, Some Are Sicker Than Others, achieves that rarest of qualities: It makes us understand the reason for the insanity.” <strong>–Art Lancaster</strong></p></blockquote> <blockquote> <p>“The hopelessness is palpable. Some Are Sicker Than Others could’ve only been written by someone who has experienced, first hand, the crippling effects of addiction.” <strong> –John Dempsey </strong></p></blockquote> <blockquote> <p>“Dark, Gritty, Compelling…a harrowingly emotional experience that rings true to the very last word.” <strong>–Doug Kurtz, acclaimed author of <a href="http://www.writelifecoaching.com/novelsdoug.htm"><span></span></a><span class="-a"><span class="-a"> </span></span></strong></p></blockquote> <blockquote> <p>“Seaward not only weaves an exceptionally well-constructed story with wholly credible characters, he offers deeper insights and relates more factual information about the disease of addiction than any other writer to date.” <strong>–Grady Harp, <a href="http://poetsandartists.com/"></a><a href="http://poetsandartists.com/">POETS &amp; ARTISTS Magazine</a></strong></p></blockquote> <blockquote> <p>“This book will lead you on a serious rollercoaster ride of emotions. 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>
