The need for a secular alternative to recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction is answered here. This book can help non-religious alcoholics to maintain philosophical integrity while achieving the goal of lifelong sobriety. James Christopher, a long-time sober alcoholic, offers new insights and suggestions for developing coping skills and regaining self-esteem through self-reliance. He notes that current research indicates that there is no such thing as an "alcoholic personality" - that addiction is the result of physiology, not psychology. It is only by making sobriety the number one priority in life, Christopher states, that an alcoholic or addict can achieve recovery. Christopher has spearheaded a large grassroots secular sobriety movement across the United States, and this book offers concrete guidelines for forming these groups in any community. The book also provides an important weekly diary for the recovering alcoholic to use in the crucial first year of sobriety.
James Christopher is the visionary founder of the 100,000-member Save Our Selves (SOS), the well-established and popular nonreligious alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous, and the author of How to Stay Sober, Unhooked, SOS Sobriety, and Escape from Nicotine Country.
