Cool, Hip, and Sober offers valuable advice and information from his guests: noted psychiatrists, psychologists, rehab counselors, MDs, academics and more. Here, in first-person detail, are responses to the issues faced by alcoholics, addicts, and their loved ones, such as: * How can I stop for good today? * How can I tell if someone I love will relapse? * Alcholism . . . addiction . . . and sex * Do interventions really work? And how do I set up one? * How do I find the best rehab for me? * The many faces of denial * Is alcoholism inherited? * And much, much more . . . A brave, transformational look at the treatment of chemical dependency, Cool, Hip & Sober is a captivating, insightful and essential handbook for overcoming denial and achieving a peaceful, long-term recovery.
