Nuts and Bolts Sobriety: A Primer

Written to be pro-sobriety from within a secular context, this is a primer about getting sober and staying sober by choice. There are no sacred cows here and no punches are pulled. Rather than being anti-religion, anti-A.A., or adverse to any other method of sobriety that works for you, this book advocates sobriety through personal choices, changes, and decisions. This is about life and death. It is sometimes rude, often blunt, and always direct and concise, offering important and functional information. This is important stuff. This is an honest, thorough, step by step guide through the earliest days of sobriety that leaves nothing unsaid and pulls no punches. No products are pushed and no single method is endorsed beyond the Sobriety Imperative: "Whatever works, whatever it takes, do not drink." This is about helping you find whatever works for you in achieving the objective of lifelong sobriety. Recovery is hard work and failure to do it might kill you. Dan Garrett's compassion for his audience and his personal knowledge of the journey into sobriety shines through every word.
