ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      With gratitude to Stuart Smith, whose wholehearted dedication to the cause of recovery gave me the opportunity to share my “experience, strength, and hope” in these pages. His vision and commitment have helped many in recovery.

      I would like to thank my editor, Nancy Schenck. Without her willingness to embrace my ideas and her kindness, insight, diligence, and expertise, this book would have remained merely an idea in its author's head.

      Thank you to Daniel Kaelin, Valerie Killeen, and Dan Mager, my industrious colleagues at Central Recovery Press, for their patience and hard work.
