Book Synopsis
I wept, I groaned, I actually tore my hair; I did every thing but the one thing that could have saved me."-from Confessions of a Female Inebriate, excerpted in Drunkard's Progress

Trade Review
Crowley's editing is discreet and his introductions to the individual selections provide brief yet instructive contextual backgrounds... He has done a valuable service in 'recovering' these narrative of despair and hope and placing them at the disposal of a wide range of possible readers and researchers. -- Ian Baird Canadian Bulletin of Medical History 2003
