Holding my Breath is a book for those who love someone who is addicted to alcohol and drugs.
It also gives a personal insight for anyone working with the many people who suffer like this.
It is the biography of my brother Colin who died last November.
It is not a self-help story of success, but rather one of suffering with moments of hope and humour.
Of impossible behaviour and incredible kindness, all bound together in the same person.
Every one of us knows someone with a drink or drugs.
