I would highly recommend this book - for anyone in recovery or family members of alcoholics/addicts. Insightful, honest, compelling (I couldn't put it down!) The author takes us on a journey through the stages of addiction, then from denial to desperation to new-life-in-recovery and freedom. I love this book!

I really liked this book. He tells it like it is. I am 3.5 years in recovery and this book helped me gain some further "aha's" in my program. I recommend it to anyone who is in recovery or has a loved one who is. Thanks.

This book is an outstanding story of Steven's fall due to his addiction and then his eventual rise to conquering his disease. This book brings hope to all struggling from the devastation of drug and alcohol addiction.

This is a must read for the addict, their friends and family.

Stream of Unconsciousness is a breathe of fresh air as far as rehab memoirs go. It's a fascinating view of the Southern California elite from the eyes of a man whose perception is darkened by his battle with addiction to drugs and alcohol; and yet, there's a ray of humor and hope that I've found missing from other stories dealing with addiction. Steven George doesn't take himself too seriously and writes with a self-deprecating sense of humor. He shares his darkest and most hopeless moments with gut-wrenching honesty and follows with a description of his arduous, humorous, and beautiful journey to "sober." I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who has a loved one struggling with an addiction. It's an un-glamorized insight into the mind of the addict and the personal hell they live in. For those who are struggling or have struggled with an addiction, this book is, in essence, a true story about a very real hope. If you fall into neither of those categories, Stream of Unconciousness is simply a good read.

I was not sure what to expect when i picked up this book but once I did, I could not put it down.
The writing style was so inviting that I could not wait to get home to continue my reading.
Steven's struggles and eventual triumph are so heart warming I have recommended this to
my friends as a must read. It was an eye opener to me to see what an addict goes through day to day.
Congrats to Steven ! All us readers are proud of you !

This must read memoir is an engaging account of the author's struggle with addiction and ultimate recovery. The author led an extremely comfortable, enviable life yet lost it all because of his lies and drug addiction. Steven George's ability to verbalize, in a candid and humorous way, the inner workings of his head and heart throughout the painful process is an inspiration to any and all who read this book. I couldn't put it down.
