Had Me Until The End

2008-10-21
Moyer's memoir of addiction is compelling and gritty -- right up until the end, when it turns preachy. It's nice for Moyers that he was able to use religion to help him get clean and sober, but his narrative would have been far better if he had simply told the story and not tried to convert readers.

A must read

2008-10-03
Any compulsive should read William's journey to sobriety. I really believe it could help especially those who keep failing. Also a must read for family members and friends. Understanding how much they lie and hide is such an important part of their healing. William is so honest about what he did in those terrible years, it can't help but help others be honest. Midge

honest and moving

I really appreciated this book. I found it to be honest and moving. It shows a very accurate and powerful picture of addictions and what it takes to get into recovery. William Moyers really helps people to see the power of addicitons and the power of recovery. I really appreciated all he had to say. I do believe that we need to share our stories and educate the public as to the truth about addictions.

POWERFUL AND INSPIRING !!!

I had the opportunity to hear William Moyers speak at SECAD. His presentation moved me to purchase his book, BROKEN. This book was so powerful that I was unable to put it down once I read the prologue. As a recovering person and therapist in the mental health/drug and alcohol treatment field I immediately purchased a dozen more copies of BROKEN to give to clients and family members who struggle with addiction. Anyone interested in issues of addiction and recovery will be equally moved if they pick up a copy and read the 3 1/2 page prologue. BROKEN is powerfully candid and written is a straightforward manner that results in the reader being captivated and most importantly....inspired by William Moyers' journey of recovery.

Needed more editing

I started this book but couldn't finish it. I guess I found it to be a bit
boring and too detailed. Perhaps a big exaggerated? I do applaud Cope Moyers however for writing the book. I'm sure it will help MANY who have struggled with addiction. As a literary piece, though, I think it needs more work.

Very Helpful Book!

William Cope Moyers has shared his innermost thoughts, despairingly and majestically in this memoir. Anyone who has had, or who has dealt with, addiction of any kind, in a family member or friend, would find hope and encouragement through the reading of these pages.
