Incomprehensible Demoralization
by
Jared Combs
Book Review:
5 Stars
Courageous...
We have an erroneous vision of what an addict looks like. The person sitting next to you in church could be an addict. It could be your doctor, lawyer, postal worker, or the little old lady that lives next door. Incomprehensible Demoralization drew me in and held me captive.

I don't have any personal addiction problems (except maybe a little with shopping), but I have friends and family that have some issues. I'm not going to try to sit here and tell you I know how it feels now to be an addict now, but I do feel like I have a much closer grasp having read this book.

makes it more fun that I know, and worked with, the author. Jared's book chronicles his graduation from pharmacy school and his first job as a pharmacist in Hazard, and how he began using/stealing drugs on the job. It covers the 4yr period of his addiction, the loss (twice) of his pharmacy license, and his recovery. Wonderful guy, great book, and he will come speak to classes at no charge.
I felt like the author was telling my story. Except for the fact that I am not a pharmacist with endless access, I related immensely. I appreciated the underlying theme of hope throughout.
It's a pretty fast read and never gets boring. Pick it up and you won't want to put it down.

This book got great reviews on Amazon but I can't get interested. Not sure if I just don't like the author or if the writing just isn't great, but I've lost interest - and this subject matter interests me greatly.
A most excellent read.
