This is not your usual memoir of addiction, degradation, and redemption.”

—the boston globe

Dr Olivier Ameisen is a remarkable medical researcher who shares his journey from profound alcohol addiction to sobriety in this fascinating book. . . . This book is to be recommended. It provides ample literature [for physicians] to strongly consider baclofen for patients who fail to respond to treatments in our conventional current repertoire. It is also a useful educational resource for those who work in the addiction field and for people who seek to gain a greater understanding of alcohol dependence.”

Dr. Olivier Ameisen’s letters and papers in scientific journals, and his book The End of My Addiction, have made a very significant contribution to understanding and treating alcohol dependancy. His contributions to the public media, radio, TV and newspapers have given many sufferers and their families renewed hope for a condition which is demoralising and sometimes fatal.”
