Sober for Good on NPR

So I am new on here and posting is getting totally addicting. I don't go to meetings and it is wonderful to read everyone's varied experiences.

In honor of getting to fifteen postings so I can finally post a link I wanted to post something I mentioned in another posting. Anne Fletcher, the author of Sober for Good, a book I highly recommend to everyone and anyone was on the NPR radio show Talk of the Nation a few years ago. Also on that show was Devon Jerslid author of Happy Hours: Alcohol in a Woman's Life, another book I recommend. Anyway it is a good 45 minutes to listen to especially if you are new and trying to find your way and it is free.

Problem Drinking : NPR

Hope it is helpful.

After many years in recovery, you go for other people to help yourself.

I want to make a difference in other people's lives today

Not to say, people don't or can't find other means of recovery but, I strongly encourage service work to others volunteer work, donate blood etc.

That's the key to being serene
