Críticas:

"I praise it to the heavens. I was so moved time and again as I experienced the truth in these extraordinary pieces written by people who have been to edge, flirted with disaster, and returned to new and better lives." --Dominick Dunne "What an inspiring book! Doesn't hurt that the author is a superb writer. I never read anything like this and am thrilled to recommend the book to anybody with the problem himself/herself or with a suffering family member." --Helen Gurley Brown, Editor-in-Chief, Cosmopolitan Magazine "Poignant and poetic, frank and funny, Cool, Hip & Sober makes sobriety seem quintessentially cool--so hip it hurts. It is a book to be given to those who suffer and to the friends and loved ones who suffer along with them. It is a book destined to redeemed us all." --Jack Anderson, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist

Reseña del editor:

In a refreshingly clear-headed and informed approach to addiction, Bill Manville, noted writer and radio host of the popular talk show "Addictions and Answers," has compiled a list of eighty-eight questions and answers from "a ton of plain and fancy drunks and dopers" and their family and friends. Cool, Hip & Sober offers valuable advice and information from his guests: noted psychiatrists, psychologists, rehab counsellors, MDs, academics, and more. Here, in first-person detail, are responses to the issues faced by alcoholics, addicts, and their loved ones, such as: How to intervene with a substance-abusing friend; how alcoholics can protect themselves from a relapse; evaluating therapies, both individual and group; Is alcoholism inherited? And much, much more. A brave, transformational look at the treatment of chemical dependency, Cool, Hip & Sober is a captivating, insightful, and essential handbook for overcoming denial and achieving a peaceful, long-term recovery.
