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 neardemise. In this riveting memoir, he recounts how he lost his practice, his home, and his familyall because of his drinking. After scores of visits to the ER, a tour of hellish recovery homes, a stint in intensive care for endstage 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 12Step programs.

I had high hopes for this book, but it didn't quite meet them. Some parts felt scattered, and there were too many anecdotal stories that didn’t flow well. Still, I appreciate the attempt to address systemic issues in recovery; it just could use some editing.

Eye-Opening Read for Therapists
As a mental health professional, I found this book incredibly insightful. The author's experiences highlight many flaws in the treatment system. It’s tough but necessary reading for anyone involved in the recovery process. Definitely gives a lot to think about.

Thought-Provoking Yet Troubling
Wasted is an interesting read that delves into the complicated nature of recovery. While I appreciated the raw honesty, some sections felt a bit heavy-handed. It’s a worthwhile book if you’re looking to understand the realities faced by both therapists and clients.

A Must-Read for Those in Recovery
I bought this for my brother who's in recovery, and he couldn't put it down. The insights into the flawed treatment system are spot on. It’s a tough read, but it’s really important for understanding the journey of recovery and the therapy process.

A Raw Perspective on Recovery
This book really shines a light on the struggles within the treatment system. The author's insight as an alcoholic therapist adds so much depth. I found myself nodding along with many parts, especially about the flawed approaches that often get overlooked in recovery circles.
