It's All About Recovery

Not only is "Loved Back to Life" the journey of recovery and the process of recovery, but it is also the facts of addictions. Amy gives true facts about alcoholism and addictions directly relating to individuals, families and the nation. The book provides a sober reality of addiction and recovery that millions of people have gone through and their story is not told.

This is one of the first and only books that combine facts with the story. Every aspect of the addiction recovery process including depression, co-dependency, suicide, stigma, adolescent stages of addiction, and the truths about the recovery process are all explained in this book.

Amy also taps into the many roads of recovery such as 12 Step Programs, treatment, hospitalization, medical treatment, dual diagnosis and medication assisted recovery. This book will "Love Anyone Back to Life" who has been struggling with addiction/alcoholism.

I see this book being used in a variety of ways including schools, colleges, universities, treatment centers, behavioral health, hospitals and will assist therapists, counselors and doctors by guiding the process of educating others with the facts and recovery tools. This book is the wave of the future for the nation's healthcare providing behavioral health tools for addiction/alcoholism.

Loved Back to Life is solution oriented and provides personal suggestions to recovery from alcoholism/addiction. Every family member should have this book who has been challenged with alcoholism in their family. They will not only relate to the author, but will learn to express and share their own personal history.

After reading the book as the Executive Director of Association of Persons Affected by Addiction, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Certified Acudetox Specialist, a Board Member of Voices & Faces of Recovery, and a Board Member for Mental Health America Texas, I highly recommend we help everyone be "Loved Back to Life" by reading and utilizing Amy 'AJ' Crowell's book to help individuals, family members, and the community on the road to recovery.

The best book to hit the shelves

The best book to hit the shelves about the struggle thru addition into a productive life. It even has tips for parents who think that their children may be struggling as well as a self help test for the readers themselves. It was hard to put down.

Wonderful Information and Inspiration

Amy, your book is virtually an encyclopaedia of addiction. There is so much wonderful information and inspiration in 'Loved Back To Life', for addicts and non-addicts alike, including the self-tests in your book.
There was an interesting reference to a statistic,"Teenagers whose parents talk to them on a regular basis about the dangers of drug use are 42% less likely to use drugs than those whose parents do not."
That reference completely affirms for me that this is a topic no longer to be denied, and to be brought out in the open for discussion in our families and communities.
Your book provides great access to opening up that very important, and often avoided conversation. Being drunk and being alcoholic, are poles apart.
Your book is a must read for anyone with an addiction, or who knows someone who is addicted - to anything.
