Overview

There are many myths that justify drinking and or drunkenness. The classics are the following: I drive better when I have a few drinks under my belt. I can last longer when I'm having sex. I am not an alcoholic as I only get drunk when I mix drinks. You should never drink brown liquor because that's what bums drink. I held onto these types of sayings because I was ashamed of the truth. The truth was the fiction I set afoot in my mind to justify my behavior. The stories contained in this book are excerpts of many, many stories I have heard in the rooms of AA all around the world. The real truth is that AA allowed me to have a life that is alcohol free, so I could set the record straight about the fiction that lies about the truth.
