{"product_id":"9781771641975","title":"Wasted: An Alcoholic Therapist's Fight for Recovery in a Flawed Treatment System","description":"Psychotherapist Michael Pond is no stranger to the devastating consequences of alcoholism. He has helped hundreds of people conquer their addictions, but this knowledge did not prevent his own near-demise. In this riveting memoir, he recounts how he lost his practice, his home, and his family—all because of his drinking. After scores of visits to the ER, a tour of hellish recovery homes, a stint in intensive care for end-stage alcoholism, and jail, Pond devised his own personal plan for recovery. He met Maureen Palmer and together they investigated scientific alternatives to the rigid abstinence doctrine pushed by 12-Step programs.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Greystone Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131125809392,"sku":"9781771641975","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771641975_p0.jpg?v=1769890717","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771641975","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
