"It was January 1, 2012, which happened to be a Sunday. It was Sunday morning, to be precise, around 10:30 a.m. I was driving my wife to my mother's house to pick up our daughter and proceed to church. I had the most horrendous headache, and I felt lower than dirt. It was a hangover-a word I would have never used or understood earlier in my life, but I had built up a problem over the years. I didn't want to admit it, though I knew the truth deep inside my heart. I had developed a drinking problem." I started this book right after finishing the first draft of a previous book.

"It was January 1, 2012, which happened to be a Sunday. It was Sunday morning, to be precise, around 10:30 a.m. I was driving my wife to my mother's house to pick up our daughter and proceed to church. I had the most horrendous headache, and I felt lower than dirt. It was a hangover-a word I would have never used or understood earlier in my life, but I had built up a problem over the years. I didn't want to admit it, though I knew the truth deep inside my heart. I had developed a drinking problem." I started this book right after finishing the first draft of a previous book. At the time, I was reading one of the many books my publisher had personally written where she posed the question, "What is God leading you to write?" At that very moment, I knew this was the book God was calling me to share. I tell parts of my personal alcohol story through various sections of this book, but, suffice it to say, I had a problem. I had the type of problem I believe exists rampantly in our society, but we rarely talk about it. To be clear, the police never arrested me for a DWI. I was not violent. I never physically hurt anyone. I was simply in a fog many of my days and made stupid choices in the fog. Life was wonderful and bright around me, but I chose to view it through the haze of alcohol. This book shares some of the realizations I've had since choosing to live alcohol-free on January 1, 2012. I hope you find comfort in my story and observations, as well as perhaps a little bit of useful truth for your own life journey. -Mark

Autorenporträt
During the period described in this book, Mark Goldman appeared to be successful in every area of his life; however, that was simply a façade. The truth was, he was slowly slipping into a life blurred by alcohol.As a young boy and teenager, Mark determined he would never allow alcohol to tempt him. As a young adult, he discovered temptation came to everyone. When his professional life began, Mark found himself lured into the occasional social drink, then to more frequent social drinking, and finally, into a life that felt more like a trap than a party. Alcohol had become a curse.In his book, What Really Happened When I Quit Drinking, Mark shares his experience of making the decision to entirely quit drinking and all of the subsequent insights he had regarding alcohol's position in his life and in society. He hopes publishing this book helps readers think about their feelings about drinking, and to equip them to take small steps to better their lives. Today, Mark is blessed to be married to the love of his life for close to 30 years. He and his wife have two wonderful children. He says his life and blessings are due to the fact that "God is merciful."
