Review: Great HFA Stories
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a fine mix of stories. There are great ones like "Waking Up Darling" and "Frosted Angels". There are also particularly interesting stories from other high-functioning alcoholics (HFA), as well as bits about their lives. The remaining stories are sorted by similar themes. All in all this provides a gritty but inspiring view of life about the covert, addicted, but high functioning individuals who cannot get rid of the bottle. As befits a collection of addicts stories there is a fair amount of drugs and other unpleasant stuff, but that's not unreasonable - the book can't be entirely about addicts getting sober magically and live happily thereafter.Since alcohol is after all related to the story, children may not be suitable to read the book, but the stories are great themselves. In all, it is recommended to those who are interested in addiction or related issues, and it is a great addition to your library of psychology books.
