Using addict/alcoholic first person accounts and direct involvement and participation, a sociologist answers the questions:
What are the addict/alcoholics perceptions of childhood? How, in general, do they see themselves? Why do addicts choose to mood-change and self-abuse?
Why do addict/alcoholics have to "hit bottom" before recovery is possible? Why is "near death" essential to recovery?
How does the ritual and psychoterapeutic program of Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs work to faciiltate recovery?
What role does the "wounded child" play in limiting "emotional sobriety?"
How does meditation--looking inward rather than outward, serve all humans by contributing to serene and blissful living?
