Observations from a Recovering Alcoholic: Why Human Connection Is More Important Than Ever

"The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope." ―Russell Brand

Are you or someone close to you struggling with addiction?

Tony Quinn's drug of choice was alcohol, but he thanks a three-year bout with cocaine for landing him in the treatment he needed.

Observations from an Alcoholic, through personal anecdotes, medical studies, and practical steps, will walk you through the intricacies of addiction to the path of healing. In it you will learn:

• What Alcoholism really is―the thinking, the pain, the paradox
• Why Alcoholism relates to anxiety, depression, anger, and other addictions
• And how to overcome Alcoholism through the 12 steps, habits, connection, and gratitude

Whether it's you, a relative, a friend―this book is a companion for overcoming or even just understanding addiction.

Dr. J. Anthony Quinn Is a Board-Certified Orthodontist who practiced in Northeastern Pennsylvania for the past 44 years.

For the past 35 years, he has been involved with both a recognized 12 step program and a weekly Caduceus meeting that was designed for health care professionals to help them face the special challenges they face when they first become sober.

His experiences with these groups have given him insight into the true nature of recovery. In his book, he cautions us to be wary of drug-assisted treatment as an answer for addiction. The human connection is the answer to successful recovery.
