A must read!!!

This book is great for anyone who wants to learn more about the addict in yourself or in your life. I liked it because shes been through the process in real life. Most people I encounter say they're an expert in addiction but have never been through the struggle. Not to sound rude in any way but she dumbed it down so the regular everyday person can understand lol

Great book for any addict

Love her style. This book helps us understand the problem and the solution in a very digestible approach.

A Must Read

Phenomenal book by a phenomenonal person. I am a Substance use disorder counselor and because of this book I am able to break down difficult brain and body chemistry to the people that I work with. I look up to Dr Labor. Also, if you see this, congratulations on your recovery ❤️ Keep kicking ass and taking names!

I loved the truthfulness of her very personal and dark moments. Thanks for sharing.

Revelations for My Own Recovery!

Dr. Nicole Labor is a badass! Her explanations explain my addiction so eloquently. Now that I understand the science behind it, I’m able to dive into the practical & personal applications of my recovery. This whole book was so eye opening. And now I can also explain to a familiar member why her daughter OD’d. And help her to understand that it was never her fault.

A deeply human, eye-opening journey through addiction and recovery

This book powerfully dismantles stereotypes and stigma surrounding substance use, weaving together real stories with clinical insight in a way that’s both emotionally resonant and intellectually rich. It balances raw honesty with compassion, helping readers truly understand the complexity of addiction—not just as a medical condition, but as a deeply personal, societal, and spiritual struggle. I had the pleasure of meeting the author, and her authenticity and passion shine through every page. Highly recommended for anyone in healthcare, recovery, or simply looking to expand their empathy.
