One of the best predictors of success in most human endeavors is the degree of experience the leader of the effort has in the particular venture being pursued, as true in selecting a president—and perhaps part of the reason the One might not become the one elected—as in selecting someone to lead an effort to change human behavior in the arena of social problems.
It is the approach we have presented with our criminal transformative work at the LampStand Foundation, and it is the approach taken by this extraordinary book about a related area of human transformation, freeing people from alcoholism.
It is called Sober for Good: New Solutions for Drinking Problems—Advice from Those Who Have Succeeded, and the additional blurb on the cover says: “Get sober with or without AA—You can quit on your own—You can deal with any drinking problem, small or large—you don’t have to “hit bottom”—You don’t have to call yourself an alcoholic—You may not have to quit altogether…”
Well worth the read, to help yourself or one you love.
