Alcohol & Drugs: Means of Escape

This book is for anyone experiencing alcoholism or drug abuse whois curious about recovery whether sobriety is just a concept atthis point or you are already far along on your recovery journey. Letme say at the outset, this is not meant to be a definitive guide. It isintended as suggestive and explanatory. Many of the people who read this book are trying to become soberfrom drugs and alcohol. They might also be wondering what sobrietyis and thinking about whether they want to be sober. My goal in writing this book is to inform readers that sobrietyis possible. Getting and staying sober takes continuous effort, focus,and work. But it's definitely worth it. Sobriety helps you live a betterlife, have better relationships with those you love and who love you,and have a chance of accomplishing your goals. The alternative is tocontinue using drugs and alcohol, which results in mental, physical,and emotional problems, and will result in disappointing yourselfand others (and also in having a lot of problematic medical issues anddying early). The text is based on my life's story and, more to the point, 40 yearsof sobriety and how the God of my understanding has cared for andprotected me during my life, a realization I came to through the helpof Alcoholics Anonymous. My hope for you is that you find a wayto live in peace and to live as good a life as possible we can't ask foranything more.
