Uncover Babylon Confidential: A Memoir Of Love, Sex, And Addiction : Christian, Claudia, Buchanan, Morgan Grant Expressed By Available In Physical Edition
was very grafeful to find this book, I am very thankful to the author for so openly sharing her experiences with alcohol addiction that
takes some courage and conviction.
And even important is the information about the Sinclair method sadly not well enough known I bought the book under an recommendation and couldn't bear to put it down.
I really enjoyed the stories about B, which was the original reason for the recommendation but I also learned so much about CC and her journey through her life to date.
There were lots of funny stories, sexy stories some v sleazy ones too and some stories which made me value my own upbringing even.
Claudia Christian has had than her share of trials, but comes across not just as a survivor, but also someone who is in control of her circumstances.
One result of reading the book is that if I were ever asked to name some people I'd like at a dinner party she'd be on the guest list! I really enjoyed this book.
I'm not a celebrity memoir type of guy I think I only bought this because, like many people, I never quite came to terms with the end of Babylon.
Even though it doesn't even spendchapters on the Bexperience, Claudia is sort of impossible not to like I met her once at a signing at the Birmingham NEC several years ago and lost the ability to form a coherent sentence I didn't think people could actually have that effect.
The book wasn't what I expected, but I certainly wasn't disappointed, Given the amount of tragedy that happens in this book, it really should be quite a depressing read it isn't.
It's thoughtful, surprisingly optimistic, and laugh out loud funny, I had very little spare time and I still managed to get through it in a few days, It's worth reading just for the anecdotes about the many Hollywood some of whom justifiably come off quite badly! that Claudia has worked with over the years, as well as other miscellaneous very famous people.
But the theme of alcoholism which dominates the book is given far humour than one would think possible, yet it remains fascinating and insightful.
As autobiographies go this is neither too demanding or anywhere approaching vacuous it's probably exactly the right length, It's a view into a world that most of us see from the other side but don't really know about.
Definitely worth a look. Claudia Christian ist eine charismatische, hübsche und äußerst talentierte Frau, die ich bewundere, seit ich sie kenne Babylon.
Ihr Buch ist in einem leicht verständlichen Englisch geschrieben, das jeder mit den üblichen Schulkenntnissen lesen kann, Es ist zu Claudia, thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this book, My wonderful husband suffered from alcoholism/alcohol use disorder for about thirty years before his liver finally failed, Just before that devastating event, I discovered first Roy Eskapa's book, The Cure for Alcoholism, and then because you had written the introduction to that, your book, Babylon Confidential.
The two books, and personal support from both Roy and yourself, led me to approach our GP to get Naltrexone for my husband.
We were fortunate to have an enlightened and supportive Doctor, but even so, It all happened too late for us BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT, The Sinclair Method is a logical and humane alternative to the long established hell of abstinence, confession, guilt and endless problem talk that characterises 'treatment' here in the UK.
I had always felt that the approach was so wrong, My husband is brave, intelligent and honest, I had repeatedly been told that he was a coward, weak, stupid and a liar, Here was a brave, intelligent, honest woman whom, I confess not to have heard of at that point!!, who was prepared to tell her story, warts and all, despite her fame or perhaps, because of it.
I have since been supportive of the CFoundation that you have set up entirely out of your own pocket, and as a non profit organisation, and I am lucky now to have met you, and Joanna, who runs the also non profit charitable sister organisation in the UK, C Three Europe.
I know how much you have given to this cause and are still giving and I want to thank you publicly here, because, although I did not find this scientific, evidence led method in time to save my husband and myself from a life of misery and pain, I am happy that is is now saving others.
Dr Sinclair will have died secure in the knowledge that your courage will enable his work to carry on, A brilliantly written account of the highs and lows of a world famous actress, How she went from a jet setting life socialising with the rich and famous into a long struggle with alcoholism.
A deep look at the thoughts and feelings during cycles of sobriety, binges and de tox, She is now an advocate for the treatment she found, I've loved Claudia as an actress since I first watched Babylonin my bedroom as a teenager and to read about all she has been through in her life makes me even amazed at how she comes across on screen.
I never realised half the things she's done or been through, The books well layed out and easy to read and I'd recommend it to anyone in hearing a real inspirational story.
easy to understand even for someone not used to read English books, The biography is interesting, as is the Sinclair Method,.shippingOnlyleft in stock on the way, .
