You guys are great! Also, it just occured to me that I should have suggested two enormously influential books on my own life, not having to do with sobriety per se but two modern and scientific meditations on the concept of god:
Man and His Symbols - a reader edited by Carl Jung explaining his life's work
and
Cosmos - Carl Sagan, a true masterpiece.
Enjoy!

Peter G......yes, Oprah was invloved with "outing" Frey's book...... but then came on her show, as he did other news programs, to 'fess up. Saw the interview....Oprah was NOT pleased..... Caroline Knapp's book was the first memoir on alcoholism I ever read.....many years before I accepted my own alcoholism. You are right.....SPOT ON!! Just remembered another memoir: Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher.
