This book was written by Chris Prentiss of Passages, Malibu.
This book has changed my life as well as leading me to the road of recovery.
For years I had been looking for help with alcohol, AA didn't work....what else was there? Seemed I was doomed.
I found this book, and began reading. To me, it made sense! Figure out what is behind the self-medicating with alcohol, what issues lead me to my current behaviors.
The book is not for everyone I am sure, nor is Passages, but for some, it is a life-saver.
The approach is holistic; mind, body, soul-not just the 'don't drink' approach.
One needs to be open and ready to change, I was. I called Passages Malibu, and spoke with both Chris and Pax. They were very open and caring, yeah, I know it is a business.
Malibu was a bit too pricey, as my insurance covered not one red cent.
Another option was the newbastard sister, Passages in Port Hueneme, CA, a bit up the coast.
I had called many treatment centers, all AA based. The cost was minimal, the locations desolate, and one had to be sober for 36 hours upon checking in, huh? If I could do that, I wouldn't need a rehab center.
