You are frightened that you'll end up as an…….alcoholic (whispers)Jackie was in the exact same place. And wrote this book for YOU, to guide you through your sober journey without going to any meetings if you don't want to!This book is a road map. It doesn't hold the 'secret short cut' to sobriety, because there are none, but it does sign-post you through the "getting sober" and guide you towards "living sober" (two very different things).This book is full of practical guidance for all the phases of the sober journey - what to do when your first pink cloud dissipates, how do you prepare for your first sober outing, why aren't your friends cheering you on? What's up with that?And when do you actually get to BE sober? And is there life beyond this journey - in the scary new non-drinking world?This book acknowledges that this journey is dual purpose - to ditch the booze and find oneself - and the power and success of recovery comes when you can use sobriety as a tool in your life, rather than a destination.Everybody has a unique sober journey - but everyone's path goes in the same direction. This book will help you get there, hopefully without too many detours.

Bob Elliott grew up on Vancouver Island, BC. His family were fishermen, and when he was fifteen, he skipped school to go commercial fishing for the first time. He learned to cook by default - the regular cook on the boat quit, and so began a lifetime love for seafood and cooking. This is a collection of recipes and stories from family life and his career on the ocean.
