22 years a "hopeless" drunk. 4 DUIs. 12 years an addict. A wasted life.I hated it. I hated myself. I tried AA and NA and the 12 Steps, but they didn't work, not for me; I just kept using.I just kept hating.That was then. 10 years sober, closing fast on 11, in the best shape of my life and loving each precious day.What changed?I stood up and fought for my life, that's what-the life I could have had and should have had before drugs and alcohol snatched it away.I went to war. I took my life back.You can, too.The War of Sober is one smart-ass drunk's brutally honest account of how he threw off the chains of drugs and alcohol by declaring war on his deadliest enemy: Himself.
