O autorze
A journalist and mutual fund industry executive, Stevens has spoken at conferences nationwide. His own, candid story from secretly devouring two liters of whiskey a day to sobriety is a startling trip close to death that hits close to home. He’s the Guy Next Door, not the common but outdated stereotype of an Alcoholic.
Popular alcohologists on the air have stellar credentials but they haven’t had to eat their own cooking. Stevens reveals his own gritty and emotional experience with losing sobriety and fighting his way back to it. It’s personal, but it’s no memoir: “I break out why relapse happens and what works from the styles of many counselors because I’m not wed to any of their methods to make a living but to keep living.”
