CINEREAL

by Wing Williams

CINEREAL is the saga I must impart. My soul poured onto paper. This memoir describes how I descended into alcohol addiction, what led to my conviction for alcohol sobriety and how freedom was achieved. In this raw, intimate narrative, I share my experiences with the desire that they will inspire and help another to discover true healing and peace. At its core, this is the account of a prodigal son. One that challenges our perceptions of what is ultimately important, exploring pride, autonomy, the supernatural, faith, humility, forgiveness and love. CINEREAL navigates through my life's wild chapters such as the Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Colorado, Oregon, the traumatic brain injury and more. If you or someone you love has ever battled addiction and longed for emancipation from darkness, I have written CINEREAL for you. This is a redemption story.

Enjoyed reading this book from a fellow Bendite. It's a well written and entertaining book that starts out with more light hearted travel and life experiences and eventually gets into dealing with brain injury, alcoholism, religion and even super natural things. Towards the end, the book talks a bit about the authors relationship with God, which for me as an atheist was not something I could relate to, but it felt like an authentic experience like the other parts of the story, so it did not distract me from enjoying the read, more religious people will probably love book for that.
The book goes into great and very helpful detail regarding alcohol addiction, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand alcohol addiction better.
Wing, I found your book through your reddit post, I hope you're doing well and this book will be a success. You're a great writer and I hope you publish more books.
