In this powerful, moving and immensely readable book, Alan describes his life as an alcoholic - the decades of battling the 'demon drink' and his eight years of sobriety. He chronicles the devastation wreaked upon him by the disease, and the damage he did to other people's lives when 'in drink'.He is unsparing in analysing his self-delusion and long-term denial that he had a problem. Without seeking excuses, he highlights the genetic link to alcoholism, its prevalence among emerging generations, and how the establishment continues to shy away from addressing the world's most available and potentially dangerous drug. Ultimately, however, this is a story of survival and hope. The author describes how Alcoholics Anonymous gave him life-saving tools, freeing him to pursue a spiritual journey. It also gave him the strength to initiate 100% Proof, the nation's ground-breaking Alcohol Awareness, Assessment and Risk Management Resource.
