Sobriety is a big fucking deal. It is hard, it is painful, and it is the true test of what a person is made of. If living clean and sober and sane were easy, everyone would do it. This book is for those who have decided that the life they are living is not going to cut it; either you take a deep breath and jump or you will remain on the edge until you are pushed, it’s as simple as that. This book will show you the ups and downs of getting clean, changing everything in your life, and how to deal with life on life’s terms--- This book will show you how to push through when shit gets real and how to hang on until you begin to see the rewards. This is the real stand still and feel. There are miracles, yes. Fairy tales? No. The reality is that most of us will not make it. This is the down and dirty on getting sober, the stuff that no one will tell you when you are new to recovery; rainbows will come but only after a lot of hard work; sobriety is not for sissies.
