Publisher Description
Me and My Addiction tells the intense, but overall positive, account of one man's battle to break free from a life heavily impacted by alcoholism. This thought-provoking book gives the reader a no-holds-barred insight into addictions and their power to change people's lives, often without the victim realising until it's too late.
Stewart's reflection of the problems around addiction, along with his real, raw, and (brutally!) honest stories will open your mind to see life through the eyes of an addict.
If you think you, or maybe someone you know, may have an issue with alcohol, it provides answers to the questions that many are afraid to ask and a deeper understanding of how addiction works, along with hope that it's possible to break the cycle of destruction and to turn your life around.
Customer Reviews
Beautiful and authentic
I read this book in an afternoon and found it to be a kind and honest appraisal of the thoughts and behaviours that go into addiction. It’s a well-balanced text that mixes stories and observations to combine into a compassionate insight into the struggles of substance abuse. It was a very humanising read about a subject which can otherwise be treated with indignity. The author comes across as very genuine and understanding without making excuses. Well written and easy to read.
Immediately catches my attention, artistic and initiates curiosity
This book is so gripping I read it in a few hours. I felt so many emotions reading this book, it’s both terrifying and heartbreaking. It’s a heart-wrenching account of someone’s experience of living with addiction and a complete eye opener. I can relate to so many feelings and stories. It’s very interesting to understand the illness from such an intense point of view.
