Destined to Recover

Alcoholism and drug addiction exact a devastating toll on society, producing millions of broken people and scores of broken homes. What then, if anything, can be done to help? Destined to Recover takes an unblinking look at the problem from a unique vantage point, that of a physician-scientist who is also a recovering alcoholic and addict. Fast-paced, provocative, and intended for the general public, the author's account will bring the reader face-to-face with the heartbreaking reality of addictive disorders and our frustratingly limited ability to help those in need. But perhaps all is not lost. Emerging from the author's experiences and observations is the startling notion that genetics underlies the recovery process, a concept that may improve future treatment methods, offering hope that the next generation of alcoholics and addicts will not suffer the same sad destiny as those of the past.

	gripping recovery story 09/29/2009
Reviewer: A viewer from Baltimore, MD US
A gripping story that provides rare insight into what it means to be ensnared in the chains of substance abuse, and what it is like to tear away those chains. Because it's told from the point of view of one who is experiencing it, and who wants to understand it in every dimension as a scientist and humanist, it is a must read for anyone who is trying to tear those chains away, or is trying to understand what a loved one is going through in the process of becoming free.
