Reader Reviews
Others who purchased this book say:
It is more realistic and groundbreaking than anything else I've read. It is one of the only books to show people AFFECTED by this what they can do. Subtly it helps a person gain a clearer perspective to prevent this happening again. That is once the affected person peels off the layers of b.s. the ch has stomped into their mind.
Its nice to read side effects, withdrawal, what crack looks like etc., but I like the fact your book shows how a person who lives with this can gain control over their lives again. Speaking for myself, I gave all control over mine to ch, and didn't even realize it. I lost weight from size 8 to a zero. Depressed, not making money, I needed a good wake up call. The hard part was to do self introspect and see what was wrong in me and fix it. Easier to be self absorbed into ch. Oh the pain when I woke up of "so who are you now, what do I like, dislike, having to fill this giant void and replace with me again" had to remember basically forgot who I was.
It shows a person the path to gaining control back over their lives again. Like you said "Guide to Emotional Freedom," the first step.
Basically I learned how he sized me up as an easy mark. I let what I wanted get in the way of what I saw. Nice, not too many friends, recently moved to the area, within 3 months he moved in. He bought me a lot of stuff, told me he doesn't smoke cocaine anymore only snorts it and I bought it. My social life revolved on him only, and what he would say we do. Somebody buying me nice things, helping me pay the rent, wow, in the beginning thought it wa great. Now, I see the con but before the smoke was way too thick. Several months after moving in, well you can figure the rest.
Your website and book helped me deal with this painful way of life I was into. Now I'm getting stronger every day. I am really very grateful. It was not an easy process though. Still work on it every day. Everybody goes thru there stages. Again, the book and website helped open my eyes.

I have read Steve's book from front to back, and I have to say for any of you still trying to put together this puzzle, his book has the missing pieces. It is powerful, honest, and very blunt. I have reached the stage of letting go and forgiving, and the book also taught me a few other ways to live without dependence. It is a book worth reading for anyone who wants to better their life. This book will teach you that to hit bottom you have to reach for the top. Thank You so much for your wisdom!!!
