Synopsis

In The Way Home four people in recovery tell their stories of undergoing treatment at Hazelden and the ways in which their lives were changed by the experience. The "home" of the title is not a place but a sense of inner serenity. For addicts, there is no peace within; a life of addiction is a life in alien territory. This book is about those people who have made the long journey back from drink and drugs, and whose stories will inspire and inform others.
