What makes one person a social drinker and another an alcoholic? How is it that some can drink for years and not become addicted, whilst others seem to freefall in a matter of months straight into the abyss of alcoholism? Can you feel the point of ‘alcoholic no-return’ racing towards you, or does it approach with stealth, drawing you in and then like a Venus Fly Trap, snap shut over your unsuspecting head tightening its grip as you struggle to escape? This book is about my struggle and ultimate survival. In writing this book I hope to reach out to those that are suffering and lost and give them the hope and inspiration to fight their demons and go on to live happier lives.
