Elizabeth Vargas On Fighting Through Alcoholism
[Christopher Kennedy Lawford wrote "Moments of Clarity: Voices From the Front Lines of Addiction and Recovery" ...] This is one of the best books on the experience of alcoholism that I have read. There is a forward by Patrick Kennedy .The book does toe the AA party line : the alcoholic desperately needs the " Higher Power " better known as God. I find it impossible to ridicule. Tolstoy said the same thing. Tolstoy said that alcohol helps you to live with a guilty conscience from a life of sin. And the Russian Dostoevsky : " if God did not exist , then everything is permitted " .
