"You have discovered the treatment for addiction." --Jean Dausset, M.D., winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize in Medicine "This is not your usual memoir of addiction, degradation, and redemption." --The Boston Globe "Brave, insightful and sure to be significant." --Publishers Weekly "In this remarkably candid memoir of crippling alcoholism, cardiologist Ameisen's passion for curing addiction is palpable, at times gritty, and, in the end, hopeful." --Booklist "WOW! . . . This is a wonderful book . . . Ameisen may be responsible for making a signal discovery much like, but better than, that of George Cotzias, [the first to show that L-dopa could alleviate Parkinson's disease, ] in that so many more patients may be involved." --Jerome B. Posner, M.D., George C. Cotzias Chair of Neuro-oncology, Department of Neurology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center "This book is . . . the story of the dazzling discovery of a cure that could soon be within reach of all. If you or someone close to you suffers from alcoholism or drug dependence, you must read this book." --David Servan-Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., author of The Instinct to Heal and Anticancer
