This book is the result of working 20 years intensely with Crack/Cocaine users. I pioneered the first service for Women Crack/Cocaine users in Britain, therefore gained most of my knowledge from my experience of working with my clients.

I started in the voluntary sector then set up my own independent service 'Higher Insight' self funded via providing training to other professionals who work with Crack/Cocaine users.

I identified 7 types of users and that the recovery process takes 2 years and goes through 5 stages.

I have written this book primarily for the users themselves, but also believe it will aid friends, family and Professionals concerned with helping Crack/Cocaine users.
