This is my experience, my story. As a suffering alcoholic, I thought there was no way out, but that turned out to be just one of the many misconceptions I had. I hope you find something in the words of this book that will spark the life inside you to have the courage to explore the wonderful life sobriety can offer you. I found sobriety through the program offered by Alcoholics Anonymous. I do not speak on AA's behalf or represent AA. My story includes AA and my journey to a better and sober life through that program of recovery. I hope you will find something in my words that will help you with whatever problem you are having. Many people have had to find their way through the darkness of addiction to find the light of life. My story is just one of the millions of similar stories. The main goal in reading a story like this is to try and identify with the feelings I struggled with rather than compare the outside results of my drinking days.
