Summary of Loved Back to Life By: Amy "AJ" Crowell "No one can understand and assist those suffering from Alcoholism and Drug Addiction like a sober recovered alcoholic and addict." Loved Back to Life is a book about the journey of an alcoholic and drug addict woman whose battle with the disease turns from hopeless to inspiring and amazing. The Author, Amy "AJ" Crowell, is a recovered alcoholic and addict who has not had a drink or a drug since April of 1988. All is exposed in her life growing up with a raging alcoholic father and ghost-like codependent mother. The book reveals the progression of a teenager’s life beginning with alcohol and drug experimentation to full blown alcoholism and cocaine addiction to narrowly escaping death as a young adult. This is a MUST read for every parent because it divulges secrets of an addicted teenager indicating the warning signs to watch for with their own child. Those who are concerned with a family member’s, friend’s or co-worker’s addiction will find help in understanding the scope of alcoholism and what can be done to find assistance. The book is a shocking realization of what many of our youth (and adults) are doing to themselves without caring about their futures. It exposes how alcohol and drugs are harming their minds and bodies causing depression and contributing to many suicides. One of the most fascinating concepts of the book is that it has incorporated current statistics on alcoholism and drug addiction. The disheartening statistics indicate how many people of all ages in our country have drug addiction problems and are alcoholics. It will open your eyes to the fact that it has become a national catastrophe, but the book gives immense hope to those who are faced with alcoholism and drug addiction issues. Loved Back to Life illustrates Amy's awe-inspiring escape from alcohol, drugs, depression and her own demise when she is catapulted into a life of sobriety. She enlightens the readers with her first hand experience in recovery that has revived her life. This book is not the typical story of an alcoholic who gets sober, but it includes chapters of positive suggestions about recovery and several awe-inspiring and motivational short stories of other alcoholics and addicts who have survived and thrived in recovery. There are also chapters exclusively devoted to answering specific questions about… EVERYTHING EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ALCOHOLISM, DRUG ADDICTION & RECOVERY. |
