• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In My Life Without Drink the author takes the reader through a life where insecurity in childhood is carried forward to the adult years when alcohol is taken up as a means of coping. Through marriage, childbirth, estrangement and brushes with the law, the author slides in and out of dependency but always succumbs to the craving described as trying "e;to get that 'high' feeling again and again but it is well-nigh impossible."e; How she turns things around must be an inspiration to those who can see no way out of a terrible 'disease' that can afflict anyone at any time. A short book on a long and painful story with an ending full of hope: "e;I walked out free and have been sober for seventeen years."e; The author has also written a delightful children's story called 'Bertie the Croc', which you will find towards the end of this book.
