Johnnie and Me: Facing the Voice of Alcohol Within

Can booze really talk to you? Many people suffering from addiction can hear their drug or drink of choice calling to them—and they feel compelled to listen. For thirty years of his life, Dr. Larry Smith was in an unhealthy and shackling master-slave relationship with Johnnie—a jealous lover who insisted that the relationship be kept a secret.  Who was Johnnie? Johnnie was the voice within Larry, guiding him from deep within throughout his addiction. In Johnnie and Me, alcoholism and addiction are presented from a unique perspective. Dr. Smith’s misadventures, near-death experiences, and dramatic recovery are written in chilling and exquisite detail. His message is clear: recovery is possible for anybody suffering from addiction if they take responsibility for their past actions and wholeheartedly commit to the recovery process.
