Not Another Recovery Success Story (Or Is It?)

"Alcoholism, for me, can be described in one sentence. It was the unintentional abandonment of my own humanity." In this book, author Mike Allen examines how his struggles with addiction were the result of a complete lack of identity which led to a decades long battle with alcoholism, and a total disregard for his own humanity. In it, he attempts to dissect the root causes of his many missteps on the road to recovery, the road to mental well being, and the road to living a meaningful life. This is done with brutal honesty, and without pulling any punches. It is Mike's hope that if others take the same brutally honest approach, they'll be able to achieve the same level of success in sobriety that he has.
