Why read it?
1 author picked A Principle of Recovery as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend this book because it pulls no punches. It’s not easy to get sober, and it’s not glamorous. Jack Grisham--lead singer of the punk band T.S.O.L., has 33 years of sobriety at the time of this writing. He shares that journey honestly with a heart for those needing to hear of his struggles. It’s a good read that teaches what’s behind the 12 steps of recovery.
From Deb's list on portraying addiction and family dysfunction.
