FINALLY WINNING​
"If you or somebody you know has suffered, or is suffering from OCD, anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD, do not put this book down!"
Sara Stratton, Redwood Publishing
"So many people suffer silently from emotional or physical abuse or mental illness such as OCD. It's painful and hard to find a way to move forward, to find a way to regain health and engagement in life. Laurie Cole Johnson speaks candidly of her struggles and triumph, of finding the right therapist, Dr. Erik Tootell, who helped her to work hard and effect change. This is Laurie's story of finding her way."
Cheryl Canfield, author, Profound Healing
"Laurie gives us a raw and open reveal of her life's journey of coping and healing. It shows how strong and determined she is, given what she has gone through. The profanity, though disliked by some, expresses her frustration and anger with an exclamation point! A good book for someone who also struggles with similar issues. Laurie will show you how to 'never give up.'"
Carol F., reader
"At last I had time to actually finish it. Bravo. I think it was Thoreau who said something like "it is not so much what the sculptor does to the stone as what the stone does to the sculptor." Your life is a beautiful sculpture that you have wrought in/through/despite immense, rough stone. As it says on the back "no mud, no lotus." It seems to me you are a positive, healing force in the world, just by being who you are. The courage, intelligence, strength, integrity, and on and on are an incalculable contribution. I (and no doubt many others) admire you very much. I wish I had had an inkling of what you were going through when I knew you so many years ago. Bless you for what you have done, for being you. With much love and deep admiration, Barbara."
