Being in recovery myself, I was very excited to read this book. It had me hooked from the introduction, and it gave me some food for thought in dealing with addiction.
However, while the author did share stories of struggles with alcohol, this was mainly a jagged overall life story. Big events in the authors life were covered very briefly, and it was hard to see how these events affected her recovery.
The food for thought I got in the introduction was not followed through on. While spiritual warfare was discussed, briefly, its impact on addiction was sadly glossed over.

If you or someone you love are among the 19.4 million people who suffer from alcohol or drug addiction, this unvarnished, raw recount of the various ways and many years the author suffered can serve as the understanding and validation you need.

As her story reveals, the initial “escape” alcohol offers quickly brings compounding issues, setting the person on a path of denial that can lead to destruction. If you doubt God’s love, hear voices that influence you to do evil deeds, and desperately need someone who can understand your struggles, let Evelyn Leite’s experience draw you to the truth, hope, and help immediately available.
