Cutting It Out

G. Blythe Samuel

Description

When it comes to getting sober, twelve-step programs aren't the only game in town. In this refreshingly frank volume, author Samuel G. Blythe recounts his own journey from habitual overindulger to teetotaler and details the lessons he learned along the way with a liberal dash of good humor. A must-read for anyone who has ever battled with addiction and lived to tell the tale.

FIRST off, let me state the object of the meeting: This isto be a record of sundry experiences centering round a stern resolve to get on the waterwagonand a sterner attempt to stay there.It is an entirely personal narrativeof a strictly personal set of circumstances. It is not a temperance lecture, or a temperance tract, or achunk of advice, or a shudderingrecital of the woes of a horrible example, or a warning, or an admonition or anything at all but a plaintale of an adventure that startedout rather, vaguely and wound uprather satisfactorily.
I am no brand that was snatchedfrom the burning; no sot whopicked himself or was picked fromthe gutter; no drunkard who almost wrecked a promising career;no constitutional or congenitalsouse.
