The author's young adulthood basically amounts to a how-to primer for addiction. Paranoia and impulsiveness, obsession, and manipulation. Throw in compulsion, false pride, fear and dishonesty, all driven by self-centered thinking. The gateway behavior for all the others. Blessed with a good memory, almost granular for certain events and circumstances, Mike Matson turns his journalist's eye on his own past and the result is an honest, unflinching look at his decades-long struggle with addiction.

Alcohol had a hold on Chris Janssens’s actions and thoughts until she made the life-changing decision to attend a support meeting and realized two truths: it wasn’t her fault and she wasn’t alone. Once she was embraced by a community that offered a nonjudgmental look at her struggles, Chris discovered that if she wanted to have a full and lasting life, alcohol could have no part. In Grace Yourself, a humble account of Chris’s transformation to an alcohol-free life, she offers a hand to others who are experiencing similar struggles, whether their addiction is alcohol or anything else.

Thirty-eight years ago I wrote "Drink, Drank, Drunk", a series of six articles for the Milwaukee Journal in which I used my personal experience with booze, along with pointing out the stranglehold the beer/booze industry has on our society. Incredibly, a recent review of those articles leads to the inevitable and unfortunate conclusion that with only minor changes for updating statistics, they could have been written yesterday. Never in my many years of practicing journalism have I ever experienced the kind of reader response "Drink, Drank, Drunk" generated.

Emotional Sobriety in Action is not just a book about quitting alcohol. It is a practical guide to maturing emotionally, spiritually, and relationally through the lived principles of the Twelve Steps. Written from the perspective of a former Marine with more than three decades of sobriety, this audiobook moves beyond theory and into application. It explores what the Steps actually look like in real life. Not in meetings. Not on paper. But in marriages, leadership, conflict, fear, pride, and the quiet moments when no one is watching.

From the first sip of vodka I took in my college dorm at age 17, I’ve struggled with alcohol. As I write this, I’m a 35-year-old wife and mother, and I’ve been sober for five months. That’s right. I struggled with alcohol for 17 years. Throughout those years, some times were better than others. I’d go through tough phases where I couldn’t get it right for months at a time. During other extended periods, I’d moderate successfully and think I was “fixed”.

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is an incredible book. Since 1939 millions have read it to find a path to sobriety and more. The history of where the 12 steps came from will help give a deeper understanding to all that this book has to offer.

Ho scritto questo libro pensando ai pazienti afflitti da disordini mentali legati al panico, spesso alla disperata ricerca di aiuto professionale, che proiettano la responsabilità del lloro stato su altre persone e che vedono i professionisti come soggetti che spesso cercano di trarre vantaggio da questo loro stato allo scopo di tenere i pazienti legati a loro garantendo loro benefici materiali permanenti che risultano essere tutt'altro che etici.

We are not powerless over our addictions, nor are we helpless victims of heredity, a disease, a spiritual malady, or a slew of character defects that require the intervention of a "higher power," and a lifetime of meetings to control. Studies show that 75% of all addicts recover on their own, without pills, patches, rehabs, or self-help groups. How many people do you know who successfully quit smoking “cold turkey,” without artificial aids or programs, and nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on earth.

If you're struggling with problem substance use, you're not alone. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is one of the most serious medical, psychological, and social issues facing our society today.

Dieses Trinkverhalten von Frauen, das in der Nachkriegsgeneration noch undenkbar war, ist weit verbreitet und gesellschaftlich akzeptiert. Doch es hat fatale Folgen.

For almost 10 years, Ashleigh Nowakowski stood on stage alongside her brother in front of countless students across the Midwest sharing their stories of the impact that substance abuse had on their lives from different perspectives: the user and the sibling. They talked about her brother’s recovery, providing hope for others that their loved ones could get sober. That was until her world came crashing down on her when her brother relapsed. It wasn’t until then that Ashleigh realized she had never really healed from the past and was still living in her brother’s shadow.
