Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 217, illus., DJ edges worn and small tears/chips, front DJ flap price clipped. Like so many millions of Americans, Betty Ford suffered from alcoholism and drug addictions. But in her case, as in many cases, the disease took years to surface. When it did, it took all of the strength and courage that she and her family possessed to be able to deal with it. This is a deeply personal memoir in which Mrs. Ford shares her experience, understanding, and hope, so that other men and women can discover that alcoholism and drug addiction need not rob them of their lives. Wonderment, gratitude, serenity, laughter, freedom--these are but a few of the gifts which Mrs. Ford received in her recovery. And, as she so eloquently describes in her book, they are her ongoing inspiration to help others who feel defeated by the disease of addiction. This book is a living testament to the power of love, the joys of recovery, and the will to survive that can give life a new, and often better, beginning. Elizabeth Anne Ford (née Bloomer; April 8, 1918 - July 8, 2011) was the First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977, as the wife of President Gerald Ford. As First Lady, she was active in social policy and set a precedent as a politically active presidential spouse. Ford also served as the Second Lady of the United States from 1973 to 1974. She was the founder, and served as the first chair of the board of directors, of the Betty Ford Center for substance abuse and addiction. Derived from a Kirkus review: Former First Lady Ford should take credit for helping remove the stigma from the disease of alcoholism, being the foremost public figure ever to tell all about entering a rehab for detoxification and treatment. She can also share credit with Chase for having written a richly moving memoir about her recovery. This is a book to give a needy friend or to read for your own enlightenment. Every page is dramatic, absorbing, clearheaded and modest. The Times of My Life, Ford's earlier biography, was ready for the printer when she went into treatment, and she had to be forced to add a final chapter about her addictions. The response to that single chapter prompted her at last to write the present account. Her strategy here is inspired. For much of the way, she allows her family and friends to tell her "war story" for her and to give their observations about the progress of her recovery. She could not have chosen more wisely. Her many family members, while loving, withhold little about how they felt about the drinking and druggy Betty Ford. The book opens with an "intervention" scene. Her daughter Susan Ford Vance was distressed to the hilt with her mother. Betty had become a pill addict while trying to relieve a pain in her neck and her arthritis, and her doctors were reluctant to make her face up to the incredible amount of drugs she was taking. So Susan got advice and arranged to have the intervention take place. Unaware of what was about to happen, Ford found herself seated with her entire family as one by one they unloaded on her all the anguish she'd caused them individually. Would she go into treatment? She broke down--but was still bitter with denial when she did go for detox. Her new counselors gave her no special treatment, made her room with three other addicts. "I would guess that I didn't really accept my alcoholism until I was almost a year in the program." She is especially good about women alcoholics--who have to deal with physical problems that heighten dysfunction even more severely than with men. And her recovery is not all sweetness and light. Says Susan: "I saw a change in her immediately, and at first, I didn't like it all. I couldn't stand it. All of a sudden she was aware. . ." She's also keen on treatment centers such as her own Betty Ford Center and on how rehabs help the alcoholic recover a lot faster. A triumph, agleam with inspiration.

Cloth & Boards. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. A beautiful First Edition (so stated) of the sequel to "The Times of My Life," inscribed by Mrs. Gerald R. (Betty) Ford in the year of publication on the front free endpaper (To Gene Crismon, All the best to you, Betty Ford, Mar. 31, 1987). In fine black & dark green cloth & boards, the book is in fine unread condition but for two small spots on the top edge. The dustjacket is complete with the original price ($16.95) and in fine condition but for slight lightening to the spine and a touch of wear at the edges. Protected by an archival plastic cover.
