Undrunk is a must-read., June 11, 2009
By lamp (San Jose, CA) (5 Stars)
Undrunk is a must-read for anyone who's ever been touched by alcoholism--in other words, for most of us. In a friendly, witty, insightful, self-deprecating and touchingly poignant style, A. J. Adams shares the world of the alcoholic, before his encounters with AA and through the challenging, surprising and sometimes exhilarating journey of recovery. Having spent a lifetime as "collateral damage" of the alcoholics in my life, I found Undrunk offered both an honesty and an optimism that amazed me on nearly every page. Most captivating is the depth of A.J.'s ongoing reinvention of himself. It is said that in recovery, some people get well, and some get weller. A.J. Adams is one of them. We can all learn something about ourselves from A. J.'s journey. This book is a quick-read, one that I both couldn't put down, and couldn't forget.
