One morning, in 2015, a short, blonde, determined, God-loving drunk found her strength, when she woke up with eight staples in her head, and the determination never to drink again. This is the story of a hardworking, driven professional who sought goodness in all things, perfection in most things, and acceptance from those closest to her - almost at any cost. It’s the real life story of drinking, debauchery, daring decisions, and what it took to finally discover true happiness.

The author continues his dual quest of better understanding the alcoholic and alcoholism. Again with his standout chapter titles, you'll hear: "Spiritual Insight or Despair?", "Comes The Dawn", and "Dry For 15 Years, Happy For Three Months." Listen to what he has learned, how precious recovery and sobriety is, and how that motivates the recovering person to spread the word about the price they paid to get to where they are with their recovery.

This is recovery in Alanon. Mary Pearl T is a hoot with a powerful recovery message. She tells lots of great stories showing how alcoholism in others made her very ill. How she got well in Alanon.
