I am the author of the book, "AA Not the Only Way,” 2nd Edition and an Amazon.com Bestseller. After a 12-year battle with addiction to prescription pills-- including a vicious cycle of recovery-rehabs-sober livings- 12-step programs-relapse--and then back all over again- I am finally living a normal, peaceful life. My mission: To disseminate the vital message that there ARE alternatives, which, alone, can help millions of people, (since AA has about a 95% failure rate!) This book is for professionals, school programs, our court system, our national government health programs, EAP programs, and those suffering with an addiction.
