ReviewsWeb Exclusive Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction, and the 12 Steps Marya Hornbacher, Hazelden, $14.95 paper (200p) ISBN 9781592858248 "The difference between now and the years when I lived in chaos is that I now have the knowledge, the tools, and the support to handle any kind of challenge, any kind of change." Hornbacher (Madness) writes with honesty, empathy, and personal experience as someone with Bipolar Disorder who has struggled with addiction. She explores the meaning of the Twelve Steps in daily life to someone struggling with addiction, mental illness, or both. From perceptions of addicts ("that we can, by force of will, gain control over the substance to which we're addicted, and that our failure to do that is simply more proof that we are failures as people") to the "God problem" of the Twelve Steps, Hornbacher reaches out to readers in a clear, surprisingly lyrical voice that seeks to understand, assist, and explain. The Steps, she argues, "help us through the difficult passages, and they teach us to take joy in the discoveries we make as we go. What I am discovering as I work and rework the Steps over time is that there is no end to this journey." For anyone seeking to understand or conquer addiction, her book will be a valuable guide and pocket mentor. (July), "A searing but heroic journey...Hornbacher not only survived a nightmare, but she emerged with deep understanding and insight." --David Sheff, author of Beautiful Boy "Hornbacher ends on a cautiously optimistic note--she knows she'll never lead a normal life, but maybe she could live with the life she does have...Hornbacher will touch a nerve with readers struggling to cope with mental illness." -- Publishers Weekly
