As a non-addict, I loved the first chapter, which gave me an insight into substance misuse. This set the foundation for the rest of the book, which takes you through many techniques, starting with those suited to people in the early stages of recovery and progressing to tactics for living a long and meaningful life. This felt very poignant given the introduction, which mentioned some people by name who hadn't made it, as well as many who had. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who wants to support an addict as they become sober.
