Author Bucky Sinister penned this book because he had something to share from his own journey, a realization that completely changed his outlook on recovery. This smart and snide book is his testament to the effectiveness of the 12-Step Program, a path to recovery that he never expected to go down (and work).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA tough-love approach to recovery.\u003c\/strong\u003e As a poet, author, and comedian, Sinister doesn't hold back from speaking the truth in this book. He speaks bluntly about addiction and his own struggles with it. Sinister appeals to those who are turned off by the usual recovery self-helps. He talks straight to readers who struggle to buy into the effectiveness of the 12-Step Program-particularly those like Sinister, an atheist, who have problems with the \"higher power\" concept intertwined with the program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA different kind of \"self-help\".\u003c\/strong\u003e Sinister's book presents itself as self-help, but don't expect it to have the same tone as others you've read.
