Gibson, PhD Author of Got an Angry Kid? Parenting Spike, A Seriously Difficult Child"William Krill's book is greatly needed.

Deep down inside, each of us knows what our truths are. It is forgivable to lose them... it is unforgivable not to reclaim them...

Without condemnation but with passion and purpose, Mountain Air ... Embraces individuals who have abandoned their authentic ways of being for a life of personal neglect, indulgence, or self-destruction. Speaks to individuals who have betrayed their healing tenets - the addict who has lost his sobriety, the abused who has returned to her abuser, or the codependent who continues to rescue the uncontrollable.
