Critical Acclaim
"...raw and unflinching memoir..."
Not Another Recovery Success Story (Or Is It?) by Mike Allen, is a raw and unflinching memoir that lays bare the decades-long battle with alcoholism that stemmed from a profound loss of identity and self-worth.
​
It’s a brutally honest examination of the missteps and self-sabotage that took place, and of the painful truths that became clear. Through very candid reflection, and a little dark humour, Allen explores how reclaiming his humanity, and his identity, became the cornerstone of healing—and how others might do the same if they’re willing to confront their own demons head-on.
​
“Alcoholism, for me, can be described in one sentence. It was the unintentional abandonment of my own humanity.”
​
That line sets the tone for a story that’s as sobering as it is empowering.
For readers who appreciate authenticity and honesty, this is a recovery story that is defiantly and unashamedly real.
