### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    funny and important
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018*

As of this writing, Amy Dresner's My Fair Junkie has 145 reviews with a 5 star average, and hardly needs my .02 cents to boost its standing. And yet it's too good a read and too important a book to not leave a few words of admiration and appreciation.We know more about addiction's causes and treatments than we used to, yet still not nearly enough. What I loved about Amy's book was that it illuminated something that's not talked about much: that it's possible to be given every advantage in life, yet still succumb to and get stuck in, addiction because you have no inner resources with which to turn your spiral around. Privileged addicts can be just as genuinely helpless as those from disadvantaged backgrounds. And if we don't start telling those stories, we'll never have the conversation we need to have, which is the one about raising our kids with real coping skills, life strategies, sense of identity, and the willingness to try and fail. And then to get up and try again.Coupled with her unique perspective, is Amy's engaging writing style. The girl is authentic, raw and uncensored to the extreme, and I mean that in the best way possible. She speaks from the heart without artifice, affectation, or agenda (in her book and interviews). It's beyond refreshing, truly inspiring.

    A sharp and insightful journey to Hell and back
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017*

This fantastic book should required reading, now, in the midst of the addiction crisis decimating our nation. The unsparing truth, the sharp wit, and the deep insight into the addicted mind gives a voice to those who still lack the capacity express the seemingly inexplicable drive to burn down their lives and so hurt those who love them, and lets them know that they're not alone, and not beyond hope.So very many families are torn apart, and so many loved ones seek desperately to help, even when they are incapable of truly understanding. "My Fair Junkie" provides for them that glimpse into the insanity and despair, and lets these hopeless observers know that they, too, are not alone, they're not beyond hope, and tget there are many paths to bring those they love home, healthy and happy.And it should be required reading for those healthcare professionals who, despite the years of training and experience in healing addicts, remain fundamentally baffled by the peculiarities of the addicted brain.It's not a recovery manual or a self-help book. It's one person's experience, and it's the most pure expression of that harrowing experience I've ever seen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Awesome.
  

*by B***X on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018*

I'm an alcoholic/addict and I know I need to sober up. I've made countless empty promises to do so, so I won't add to it here. But I just got an Amazon HD tablet for my birthday and decided to buy a book about the struggles of addiction to read on my new Kindle app. I read this book in three days! In this book, Amy Dresner discusses her addictions and although I can't fully relate to her sex addiction, I couldn't get enough. Funny, brutally honest and completely relatable to any addict, she tells it like it is. I was actually was when I finished reading this. Great book for anyone needing that bit of hope or inspiration in the midst of trying to kick an addiction.
