Michael Pond and Mareen Palmer Co-Authors of
The Couch of Willingness: An Alcoholic Therapist Battles the Bottle and a Broken Recovery System.
In his breakout memoir, psychotherapist Michael Pond recounts a riveting battle with alcoholism. He loses his practice, his home, and his family and ends up destitute in a down-and-out recovery home populated by a cast of characters straight out of Dickens. The Couch of Willingness is a real couch in that recovery home, where Pond is forced to sleep until he admits he is powerless over alcohol. And so begins a harrowing two-year journey to sobriety with stops in abandoned sheds, dumpsters, ditches, emergency wards, intensive care and prison.
