When my husband entered rehab for cocaine addiction several weeks ago, I knew nothing about this drug, and why it had such a hold on him. After reading this book, I feel like I can understand where he is at, and how to deal with it. As someone said before it contains priceless information. I thank God I was able to find this book. I highly recommend it to addicts, family members, and professionals wanting to learn everything about cocaine addiction.

As someone who has suffered with an addict for years, and who also plans to eventually practice in the field of addiction and recovery, I found this book to contain a wealth of priceless information. It provided incredible insight into the mind of the addict which will be useful to the addict himself, to family and friends, as well as to the treatment professional. A must read for anyone touched by the pain of addiction.
