'Skip' Sviokla was driven, athletic and brilliant enough to guarantee success - graduating from Harvard Medical School, playing college American football and revelling in wealth and glamour as a 'celebrity doctor'. He was the owner and medical director of Skip Sviokla Entertainment Medicine, Inc. and of Medical Weight Management, Inc. in Massachusetts. That is, until addiction brought his life crashing down. Addicts (and those who wonder if they might be), their family members and also the medical community will be moved by this self-help memoir.
