Hooked: Secrets and Highs of a Sober Addict by Melinda Ferguson (Penguin)
Self-sabotage is the name of the game when you’re an addict who hasn’t quite kicked the behavioural habits of a lifetime.
The substance may be gone, but the habits of relationships and denial can be just as hard to shake. Through her memories and dialogues, Melinda Ferguson goes where few addiction memoirs do – to the nitty-gritty of day-to-day change that can be hard to achieve.
How to rebuild what was lost, but not slip into the old-style ways of relating to people and situations?
Readers who were gripped by Melinda’s first memoir Smacked will not want to miss this. Her honesty continues to challenge and surprise, as she faces the question of ‘what next?’
