The Sobering Truth: One Man's Journey from Failure to Faith

by Steven Sellers

Steven Sellers the Addict was at the bottom of his bottle literally. His addiction to alcohol had escalated to an average of two-fifths of vodka a day. Forced into a detox center and then treatment, his thirst for the Beast caused him to forfeit his lucrative career, a 19-year marriage, and two young daughters and his soul. The Beast had dominated the slow, methodical destruction of everything good and moral about Steven's life. Beginning with a face-to-face encounter with a stranger in the Minneapolis detox center, The Addict realizes he must finally confront the Beast and do battle for his future.

The Sobering Truth: One Man's Journey From Failure to Faith follows Steven to his breakdown, physically and spiritually. It addresses life in treatment both in and out of the hospital and the ever present threat of relapse. This story describes how the Addict can move beyond sobriety and learns how to embrace life in recovery; how to fill the hollow void that the ravenous Beast left

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'll admit to a certain level of bias in rating this book since I know the author and he included me in his story. Steve is an inspiration. In his journey, he's well on his way.
