I applaud the cultivating way Debbie transparently shares her challenging but inspiring life experiences! She includes some brilliant spiritual teachings that have been a catalyst to her awakening on being her authentic self which can “strike” home to everyone. Truth generating! Anything is possible! A must read!

This book truly and deeply touched my heart and my soul in more ways that I can relay in words. Thank you for sharing your incredibly moving and inspiring story, Debbie. All that you have been through and what you have turned your life into from the pain endured, to healing for not only your own soul but that of others brought many tears to my eyes. Trusting in God, believing in the power of our thoughts, putting in the work to discover your truth.. the results can be utterly amazing and this book is the perfect example of that. I am extremely excited to share with everyone I know (especially those who suffer from addiction) I think it will help them more than anything to know they so far from alone in their battle. Debbie, you are a huge blessing to this earth. Thank you for doing what you needed to do to keep yourself here on this earth and fulfill your greater purpose. Thank you for putting the tools needed and recommending other spiritual books in your beautiful work of art as well.

Do you have a friend or a family member that is an addict? Or perhaps you are struggling with addiction? If so this would be a substantial book to read. I had two friends, suburban mothers, that died from addiction overdose. This book granted a greater understanding of the tragedy and turmoil of addiction and how it can affect every aspect of a life.
The author makes reference to a teaching that was helpful in her process of healing. She shares that when the mind and the body are not aligned the result is chaos. That is an important key to understanding the dynamics of the addict. While reading this book I paused and reflected on many deep conversations with the two friends that overdosed that were insightful and healing oriented only for them to be shortly pulled under by the unrelenting addiction that would leave them in a mindless stupor. If you have known the heartbreak of loved ones that live this type of chaos this book can affirm and offer hope that profound recovery can occur.
Healing begins with honesty and the author is honest in her struggles and commitment to recovery and healing. Easy read with a natural flow.
If my review was only one word it would be — Honest. It is the word that leads the way for this author.
