5.0 out of 5 stars A new evolution in substance abuse treatment, October 19, 2001

By A Customer

By far, one of the best books I have read regarding alcoholism, and more specifically where we are and where need to go in upscaling our current treatment efforts of this insidious problem. I have read quite a few books on alcoholism and 90% endorse only one mode of treatment-AA. That is not only unfortunate, it is a sad state of affairs when we cling on to only one mode of treatment that is not necessarily the right one for everyone.

Mr. Fox had some of the deepest knowledge in regards to alcoholism and more importantly where we need to move forward to in achieving a better success rate in treating this problem.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who openly and objectively would like to know more about alcoholism and what other options are available to those who truly want to deal with their or a loved one's substance abuse problem and receive the appropriate treatment that they need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vince Fox - The Best Book I've Read, September 25, 2002

By	David Wickre (Saint Paul MN) - See all my reviews

Several years ago, when I nearly died from the dangerous stupidity of AA, I was fortunate enough to find a wonderful Alternative Treatment clinic in St. Paul. And in that clinic, I read as much as I could and learned as much as I could. I, to this day, believe that ADDICTION, CHANGE, and CHOICE was the book that made the most impact upon me during the early stages of getting better. Several years later I still refer to it.
Vince Fox writes in a way that is easy to read, yet provokes a great deal of thought. For anyone trying to make a change in their chemical health life and is struggling, for those trying to learn more about chemical health truth in general, and for those who wish to break the bonds and bondage of 12Step terror, I highly recommend this book. It can add much to your life if you wish to change and to know the Alternatives that are available to all of us.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought the book was excellent., April 16, 1999

Of course, I am a little biased due to the fact that I am Vince Fox's daughter. It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that my father died on March 29th after an approximate 6 month illness. He is sorely missed by his family as well as the many people that he has helped. Please respond if you have read his book and it has helped you.
