I bought this title for a young person Im close to whom has a parent with addiction issues - I read it before I gave it to her so I knew what she was going to get from the book. It has some good info - however - if I read through it at a store I'd prob keep looking - it seemed a bit too shallow, dated and had alot of COKE & POT references - many are on to different types of addictions these days - it didnt hit on the issues this young lady is facing - but Im an adult - maybe for a teen they cant handle more than what this book offers - the subject alone is so sad - it really didnt go into the addiction issue that she is dealing with - PAIN MEDS! Her mom had/has serious back issues so fights addiction with pain meds but also has issues with drinking too. Im there for this young person and hoping the book will help her not feel so alone - it may help her to know there are others out there with simular struggles. I'd do just about anything to help her and her mom!!
