Last Call

Alcoholism and Recovery

Beschreibung

Last Call is the first book, outside of Alcoholics Anonymous' own publications, to offer an insider's perspective on how and why AA is the most effective alcoholism treatment program in the world. Using powerful first-person narratives -- composites of many individual experiences with the disease and recovery -- Hedblom demystifies the meetings, the twelve steps, the Promises, and the sponsors.
