Its a good book recommended by many doctors in the UK. Sadly the author is dying of lung cancer despite having quit over 20 years ago.

My only addiction is nicotine. However I was married to an alcoholic for 10 years. I know the struggles involved and saw the pain it caused him. In the end he lost his job, his home, me and his self esteem. Someday I pray he will find happiness and peace.

Congratulations again. You are our inspiration.
