Okay, so I wasn't sure what to expect from a recovery book written by an Army First Sergeant, but wow—this one hits different.

Milo's writing is like that brutally honest friend who tells you the truth with a side of dark humor. It's not your typical 'how to get sober' manual—it's about staying alive and thriving.

As someone who tends to overdo everything, the 12-step approach here felt fresh. The title alone hooked me (butterflies = my spirit animal), but the content kept me glued. Yeah, some acronyms tripped me up, but sticky notes saved the day.

Honestly? I've recommended this book more than my last five-star read. Milo, if you're reading this—coffee sometime?

Final verdict: If you want recovery advice without sugarcoating, delivered like a drill sergeant with a heart, this is your book. Just don't expect gentle hand-holding.
