Written by a sociologist who is also in recovery, this book takes the reader through the recovery process moment by moment. Only a writer who has been there can truly understand that recovery hinges on such small increments of time. There is humor here also. Humor from one who was able to see the humor in her own situations as she went through the process of becoming and remaining sober. A must read for anyone beginning the journey to recovery and for all who are interested in the recovery process.
