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