Johnnie and Me: Facing the Voice of Alcohol Within
About this ebook
For thirty years of his life, Dr. Larry Smith was in an unhealthy and shackling master-slave relationship with Johnnie—a jealous lover who insisted that the relationship be kept a secret.
Who was Johnnie? Johnnie was the voice within Larry, guiding him from deep within throughout his addiction.
In Johnnie and Me, alcoholism and addiction are presented from a unique perspective. Dr. Smith’s misadventures, near-death experiences, and dramatic recovery are written in chilling and exquisite detail. His message is clear: recovery is possible for anybody suffering from addiction if they take responsibility for their past actions and wholeheartedly commit to the recovery process.
