Review

From Death Do I Part is the account of a soul journey: a journal of liberation, authentically lived, deeply experienced and vividly written. The inspiring story of one person, it speaks to the challenges faced by many and to the possibilities inherent in us all." ----Gabor Mate M.D., author of Canada's #1 best seller, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction

"For Amy, the process of overcoming addiction is a process of moving forward--not of labeling herself, not of rehashing her failures and abuse, not of blaming herself or others. She knows--the decades she spent doing these things never allowed her to quit drugs, alcohol, eating problems, cigarettes. Something else did. She needed a new way of thinking about herself and life, one not anchored in the past, or in her trauma, or in the bromides of the 12 Steps or of psychiatry.Amy Lee Coy has written the story of how she reclaimed her life from abuse and drunkenness. Every alcoholic--every person--can learn these essential things from her efforts: it is never too late to change; your life is in your own hands; the cure to the "disease" of alcoholism is realizing who you are; life can be a joy when you reject your fear; every human life has value. It is uplifting to read her discovery of these things because her gentle presentation of her truths is free of ego, jargon, and any sense that she deserves special consideration." ----Stanton Peele, Ph.D., J.D., author of Love and Addiction, 7 Tools to Beat Addiction, and The Life Process Program

"Whether you are struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this book will help you to understand how to move forward when all paths seem blocked or pointless. A guide to recovery as well as a beautiful story of triumph and accomplishment, this book brings the warm light of wisdom to the harsh realities of addiction. From Death Do I Part is a book you will return to again and again as you reflect on its healing words." --John Bardi Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University
