This writer really went through a horrendous situation in which many people would not make it out it out to tell their story. She is courageous and strong and her story speaks to that. The narration is wonderful too.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 415
From a renowned behavioral neuroscientist and recovering addict, a rare pause-resisting work of science that draws on personal insights to reveal how drugs work, the dangerous hold they can take on the brain, and the surprising way to combat today's epidemic of addiction. Judith Grisel was a daily drug user and college dropout when she began to consider that her addiction might have a cure, one that she herself could perhaps discover by studying the brain. Now, after 25 years as a neuroscientist, she shares what she and other scientists have learned about addiction.

Drags on at end

I i I identified with the writer immensely however at the end of the book she dragged on a bit about how we can come together to cure addiction. It became too wordy and I lost interest in the last chapter
