Highly recommend whether you're struggling with addiction or have a love one who is. Cesar's story is raw, genuine and despite his successful career he shares some very vulnerable details. His story reminds you, whether you're the addict or the one affected, you're not alone. There is hope in recovery, one day at a time. Thank you Cesar for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly.

I initially set out to listen to the Audiobook to simply support Cesar, who I have known through the hospitality industry for years (do I dare date myself and say decades). Cesar is very open and honest about his addiction with alcohol and road to recovery. This book taught me that you don’t always know what people are going through. I strongly recommend this one to anyone who is struggling with an addiction, has a loved one struggling, or for anyone who just wants to learn more about The Powers of Addiction and how they might be able to support someone. I’m proud of you Cesar!!! I know that your story is going to help so many others.

Inspiring!

I hope that Cesar’s willingness to share his personal journey to sobriety and a lifetime of addiction & recovery will help others to find their paths as well.

Cesao! It was a privilege to hear your story and see it reach such a positive outcome. As your cousin, I remember many parts of your journey, but I never realized the full depth of what you went through. Your book is a true inspiration for those facing their own battles with addiction. Proud of you, cousin!
