"A living classic, Sobriety and Beyond is a common person's guide to happy living and peace of mind. Written over a period of ten years, during which the author spoke to thousands of Alcoholics Anonymous members, this book captures the nondenominational 'spiritual thread' of AA. To the average person in AA, that means adjusting to happy and sober living-- an adjustment without which sobriety often ends in relapse. The author, Father John Doe, considered himself simply one of AA's many 'John and Jane Does.' His words reinforce the solid philosophy of living found in the AA program. For decades, this masterwork has taken readers through sobriety to the rewards that wait beyond."--Back cover.
