While many purport there is a "cure", I believe you certainly can live a normal, sober, productive life. I'm living proof. I'll share my drinking love story with you.

Aus dem gelegentlichen Getränk wird schnell eine Trinkgewohnheit. Und später oft eine Sucht, aus der man nur noch schwer ausbrechen kann. Denn alles, was wir ständig wiederholen, wird in unserem Unterbewusstsein gespeichert. Viele von uns trinken jahrelang, bis sie sich eingestehen müssen: Ich habe ein Problem. So kann es nicht mehr weitergehen.

One morning, in 2015, a short, blonde, determined, God-loving drunk found her strength, when she woke up with eight staples in her head, and the determination never to drink again. This is the story of a hardworking, driven professional who sought goodness in all things, perfection in most things, and acceptance from those closest to her - almost at any cost. It’s the real life story of drinking, debauchery, daring decisions, and what it took to finally discover true happiness.

In this heartfelt and candid memoir, the author illustrates a childhood overshadowed by the turmoil of alcoholism and its effect on her and her family. As Sarah grows, family secrets begin to resurface, fueling a quest for answers. Inevitably, devastating losses and life-changing decisions propel her into foreign territory, and bring her face to face with her grief. Will she embrace honesty and recovery, even if it could mean alienating those closest to her?

Drawing on 40 years of experience where he developed employee assistance programs (in both the railroad and manufacturing industries), counseling hundreds of alcoholics and addicts, Bob developed his own way of seeing the alcoholic/addict, their families, the addictions profession, and society’s view of alcohol. This booklet contains his words of wisdom in short chapters and with pithy titles like “Dealing with the Tensions of Sobriety” and “Sober and in Trouble”, as he relates his observations, experiences, and perspectives on working mostly with alcoholics.

This is the compilation of all five booklets written by Robert C. Hickle, written between 1976 to 1980. He reflects on his 40-plus years of experience counseling alcoholics, addicts, and their families; on the profession of addiction counseling, and on societal attitudes about alcoholism and addiction in general. Each booklet is divided into short chapters with titles such as "Alcoholic Lie a Lot" and "Sober and in Trouble" - all in a jargon-free, plain-speaking, down-to-earth style that reflects Bob's statement "I write like I talk."

The author continues his dual quest of better understanding the alcoholic and alcoholism. Again with his standout chapter titles, you'll hear: "Spiritual Insight or Despair?", "Comes The Dawn", and "Dry For 15 Years, Happy For Three Months." Listen to what he has learned, how precious recovery and sobriety is, and how that motivates the recovering person to spread the word about the price they paid to get to where they are with their recovery.

Sobriety isn't just not drinking or using. Rather, it is a number of pieces that come together that make sense, creating a coherent whole which we can call life. In this audiobook, Hickle offers such pieces to consider as: "The Professionals See Them First", "I Never Got Anybody Drunk", and so much more! Like his other works, this audiobook is in Hickle's straight-forward, plain-speaking, down-to-earth, jargon-free style. Listen to enjoy, while learning at the same time.

In this second part of a five book series, the author recounts in his down-to-earth, jargon-free manner what he learned from alcoholics about alcoholism. With chapter titles like "A Word to the Professionals" and "When You're Ready, You're Ready" and "Quality Sobriety", he continues to explain what he has learned - an effort to help us all to understand the alcoholic/addict and their family and loved ones.

Of course, a medically supervised detox is always highly recommended. However, not everyone takes this route, at least not every time they need to sober up. I sure didn’t. If I went to the county detox or hospital every single time I went through what I came to call "The Fear", they would have probably just started turning me away, or I’d be broke. I was a chronic relapser, so I’ve had a lot of practice. My pattern was to take down a liter of vodka per day - plus other miscellaneous party favors when money was good - until I got too sick to work, function, or continue drinking.

Alcohol is an intense, addicting poison that will slowly eat away at you. My journey to going alcohol-free started with the day I was told that I had 48 hours left to live due to consumption. You may know that too much of anything isn’t good for you, but there’s nothing good about alcohol. It’s a silent killer, perpetuated by society as a fun, lighthearted action. How much about alcohol do you really know? It’s time you cut ties with alcohol for good, because it’ll save your sanity and might just save your life.
