Does the Sh—— Ever End?

About the Book

It was certainly not one of the author’s primary goals in life to become an alcoholic, but it happened. This book takes you inside the author’s head to show the reader how it happened. Alcohol is cunning, baffling, and powerful. This book takes you aboard the author’s journey into alcoholism, as the author openly and honestly describes how for many, many years alcohol was the cure to all that ailed him (and there was a lot). But in the end, alcohol became the ailment itself. The author hopes that this book will help fellow sufferers understand what happened to them—the why and the how. The author also hopes it will provide friends and family of fellow sufferers with some insight as to why their loved ones can’t really see what’s happening and why they continue down their destructive path. It was a journey for the author that lasted longer than it should have but does have a happy ending. It is the author’s hope that others can achieve a similar happy ending.

About the Author

I am an alcoholic. A grateful recovering alcoholic. It took many years (too many) to finally face that fact, but thank god I did. Some twenty-five years now sober, and having subsequently spent fifteen years working in the alcohol abuse prevention arena, I finally understand how that happened. And it wasn’t entirely my fault. It could have been avoided. The choice was mine, and unfortunately, I made some bad choices, not fully realizing the consequences. I’m sharing my journey in hopes that others won’t make the same uninformed bad choices. But if you’ve already made those bad choices, perhaps you too may learn how and why that happened. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I found it and hope others will too. There are, however, some restrictions.
