This second book, of four, in a trilogy about substance abuse tells the story, in the voice of addicted addict Sally, of the challenging journey to getting and staying abstinent from all intoxicants. The message is, that the journey is not easy and that there are several land mines along the way. The first purpose of this tale, therefore, is to warn people like Sally, and those who care about them, of the dangers, and then prepare them to manage successfully this difficult, but extremely rewarding process.
