Walking A Tightrope: How the Disease of Addiction Affects Everything!!! A Practical Guide on How to Stay Clean in Spite of Ourselves: As Long as you are laughing at me, not With Me!

This is a book about ongoing recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. It is a collection of approaches that I have used in the past thirty years to build and maintain a semi normal and sane methodology for clean living. Recovery is not for the faint of heart, as the disease affects every aspect of our lives, continues to live inside us even after we establish abstinence and is just waiting for an opportunity to weasel its way back into our lives and fulfill its quest: Jails, Institutions and Death. The writing is a collection of stories, personal experiences and real world examples of what it is like to be a recovering addict. It is meant to be funny, inspirational and maybe even tragic in some respects. The intent is to be as factual as possible without violating any of the participants anonymity. My personal hope is that this provides someone out there with an opportunity and hope of living a regular spiritually based life. Life is a spiritual journey and we need to work for that!
