Publisher's Summary

A Scathing Expose on the Harrowing World of Mandatory Rehabilitation

What begins as a blissful vacation aboard a cruise ship swiftly descends into a harrowing ordeal when the author's husband is unexpectedly ensnared in the world of enforced sobriety. This poignant memoir opens the door to a seldom-seen system, revealing the realities of a mandatory rehabilitation system that operates under the guise of care.
As the narrative unfolds, the listener is taken on a deeply personal journey that exposes the underbelly of a rehab industry fraught with systemic flaws and bureaucratic apathy. The author's account is both a critique and a raw depiction of the emotional and psychological upheaval endured by individuals who find themselves unwittingly shackled not only to sobriety but to a regime where healing is often overshadowed by punitive measures.

Navigating mandatory sessions, invasive procedures, and misdiagnoses, this book lays bare the struggle of maintaining dignity and self-worth in an environment that frequently strips away both. It challenges the listener to confront the uncomfortable truths about the inefficacies and injustices inherent within a system that is supposed to rehabilitate but often ends up inflicting more damage.

Through candid storytelling, the memoir shines a light on the untold stories of resilience and despair, battles fought in the silence of rehab clinics, and the unyielding strength required to endure a system riddled with contradictions. This book is not just an account of a personal ordeal but a call to action, urging a reevaluation and reform of rehabilitation practices that impact countless lives.

In the book lies a powerful message of hope and the need for change, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by the complexities of addiction and recovery, as well as those seeking to understand the human cost of a deeply flawed system.
