Publisher's Synopsis
In this powerful anthology of stories from Grapevine, old-timers share their wealth of experience in staying sober for many years through good times and bad.
This Grapevine collection includes 42 stories from long-time members who arrived at Alcoholics Anonymous from "a dark place where there seemed nowhere else to go." You'll meet Keith, who hid behind a bush to see what AA members looked like before he ventured in his first meeting, and Norman, who lost his lifelong dependence on his best friend-alcohol--but gained 30 years of sobriety. AA's valued long-time members are here to tell us: "Life happens, don't drink, go to meetings, trust the principles of AA and be willing to stay willing."
With the perspective of decades of successes and failures, losses and fulfillment, these inspirational stories illustrate that sobriety is a journey, not a destination.
