- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting. But, I got tired of listening to him giving God credit for everything positive that happened, but not credit for any of the bad.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Phenomenal story of redemption, second chances, and never giving up. Told and read from the heart by the author. I suffer from an addiction as well and this book is welcomed ammo in my arsenal belt to help me continue the fight on my voyage of sobriety. Thank you Joe for sharing your story.
