4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview - good place to begin, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Final Freedom : Pioneering Sexual Addiction Recovery (Paperback)

I appreciate his focus on the 12 Step process. He stays completely away from moralizing and shaming. The center of his book is the souce of all healing - the Creator - and our getting past our own guilt and shame through a step-by-step development of a relationship with God. No bones, no preaching, nothing but solid Grace. Lots of encouragement. Written from the heart of a recovering person. The only thing that could improve the book would be to have better proof reading. A bit much dependance on spell check. Otherwise - excellent book. Thank God for someone with the courage to heal and to share his healing and experience with those of us seeking the pathway to Final Freedom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to understanding the problem, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Final Freedom : Pioneering Sexual Addiction Recovery (Paperback)

This book has been invaluable as a first step at understanding this destructive problem. It does have a great resource list. But, the content represents just the tip of the iceberg. Would have liked more practical information on family involvement and how to discuss the problem with the addict. Some of the treatment recommendations may be difficult to relate to for those of us who are non-religious people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Understanding and Closure, July 4, 2001

I read The Final Freedom by Douglas Weiss. To my surprise I was really moved by his book. I purchased this book because I personally know Mr. Weiss. What kept my interest was the fact that I had some issues that needed explaining that I thought I handled myself a long time ago. I was wrong. When I finished reading his book, I cried because I now understood that what happened to me a long time ago was not my fault. It was like Mr. Weiss took a hugh weight off of my shoulders that I didn't realize I was still carrying around. This is truly a great book . I now have the closure I needed. I have a healed heart. Thank you Doug Weiss.
