An autobiographical fiction, the author leads us through his struggle with alcohol, and his transition into recovery through keen looks into his three alter egos along the way.

Often humorous, sometimes painful, All Drinking Aside follows the desperation found dealing with the disease of alcoholism, but certainly one could replace alcohol with most any addiction, and find great insight into the journey of recovery.

The author writes: “Addiction is a beast that lives within us. You cannot kill the beast. Denial, Anger, Fear will not kill it. Begging, pleading, blaming will not tame it. Depression, self-pity, doubt: They only feed it. Confront it as the beast will never die”.

A powerful and life-affirming book – highly recommended.
