Title: I can't imagine his behaviour tolerated in a treatment center
Product review: I kept thinking that a treatment center, and esp. one with the reputation of Hazelden, would never have allowed James to repeatedly carry on in his disruptive way. Many go into treatment centers with little or no life discipline and order; whether we "got" it, or were willing to work at "getting it" the first time or not, hopefully we eventually achieve sobriety by some means, if not a 12 step program, then some kind of constructive plan of sane and peaceful living. I had a problem with the way the book seems to belittle any kind of disciplined treament, the way James' hero worship of the mobster was glorified, and the general repetition. There are many clues that James is not done abusing chemicals; I hope others that find themselves in his place don't refuse treatment based on his story.
