About the Book

A delightful collection of over a hundred short essays on living an exciting sober life. Written by a 20 year veteran of the sobriety scene who sees AA success and sobriety as a launching pad for even greater peace and contentment.

Alcoholics Alive! is a definitive answer to the most common recurring questions about the twelve-step fellowship called Alcoholics Anonymous. The questions answered here:

Is this all there is? Thousands of alcoholics attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings once or twice only to return to their drinking lives after asking the question. The author of Alcoholics Alive! answers that question with a resounding NO! and embarks on a journey to show the reader how to use the principles learned in the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous groups.

He shows the reader, through is own experience and through the lives of other alcoholics, how to use the basic knowledge gained in AA groups:

• To conquer anger
• To adapt to daily living
• To relax in any situation any time
• As a stepping stone into peace and harmony
• As a basis for new understanding of all life
• As a practical tool to use powers far beyond our human limits
• To be alcoholic and be totally and completely alive.

Witty, satirical, entertaining and thought-provoking, Alcoholics Alive! is the ideal book to accompany the neophyte and the older sober alcoholics through their sometimes frightening journey into the magnificent fields of sobriety.
