Once it was normal for author Mark E to drink and take drugs. Now it is normal for him not to drink or take drugs. In this book, the concept of 'normal' is not simply a comparison between extremes, but of the personal and evolving understanding and acceptance of normal as it applies to the individual and his or her changing relationship with alcohol and drug.

A refreshing examination of the human condition and how one man was able to beat the odds by redefining the meaning of normal.
